Crypt of Shadows #6

In "Don't Bury Me Deep!" from *Crypt of Shadows #6* (1973), an undertaker’s frantic attempt to sell a luxury coffin takes a horrifying turn when he discovers the corpse he’s preparing is still alive—only to accidentally kill him again, setting off a chain of events that leads to his own demise. The story unfolds with chilling precision, turning a routine funeral job into a deadly game of life and death.
