Legendary actor and comedian Andy Griffith was laid to rest quickly, buried by family less than five hours after he died.

Griffith's body was placed in a grave on Roanoke Island near the coast of North Carolina at approximately 11:30 a.m., a funeral spokesman told CNN.

"It had been planned for some time," said the spokesman. "This was the wish of his family."

Traditional funeral customs often allow for a more extended period between death and burial, so family and friends may have more opportunity to visit and pay their respects.

Still, said Stegall, "the family's wishes are always abided by."

"Andy was a person of incredibly strong Christian faith and was prepared for the day he would be called Home to his Lord," Griffith's wife, Cindi, said in a statement on Tuesday.

A green funeral seeks to return one’s remains back to the
earth as simply and directly as possible, thus avoiding
embalming and metal caskets that are common in today’s
modern funerals. Green funerals are becoming
increasingly popular as they are environmentally friendly,
affordable and allow families to customize their memorial
services prior to following or at the graveside.

No conspiracy theory intended.

I only pointed out that many states have either a waiting time between death and burial and that some require that deaths in a home include a post mortem autopsy. Also there usually needs to be a doctor or other medical person to document the cause of death before a funeral home will accept a body. Maybe North Carolina does not do this. I've had to do handle burials for several of my own family members so in my state and where my parents live I base what I say on experience.

And my original post that started this thread was only meant as a bit of humor and verbal irony which seems pretty common here. Sorry if it offended you or caused confusion.
