CONT

On imagine des dispositifs de sécurité dans les cercueils dès 1792. En 1897, le comte Michel de Karnice-Karnicki invente un cercueil de sécurité doté d’un système permettant de détecter un mouvement dans le cercueil et disposant d’un tube pour alimenter le cercueil ainsi que d’une cloche pour alerter l’extérieur.
