Why don't graveyards have an odour?

Question

from the decomposistion and what not?

I always find putting flowers on a grave an ok experience but I wonder why they don't have any sort of smell?

Answer 1

the bodies are six foot under in a box inside a cement box.  and at the time of death the bodies are embalmed other wise you would have unpleasant odors from them at the wakes.

Answer 2

There isn't a direct passage of air up to the surface for the odour to travel on. Very small scale leaching may occur, that we can't detect.

Answer 3

Because they are in boxes six feet under heavy ground?

Answer 4

Bodies are being decomped inside their boxes.. the insects feed on them.. and they are deep uunder ground

Answer 5

All reputable graveyards bury people at least 6 feet down,  in a concrete casing, and coffins are sealed airtight. The smell just can't make it through all that stuff, I guess.
