I would submit this....the 2 day, or whatever waiting period, in humans esp., and perhaps in ants...is to make sure the individual is dead...and not just 'resting' or stricken with something that renders them immobile, and in a death-like state.

People also used to put a bell above ground, with a string down into the coffin...so that if the individual presumed dead, 'revived', they could pull the string and be dug up.....they've found old coffins that had scratch marks on the inside tops...not the best way to go...

Interesting article, thnx

PS...the wake was/is used for that purpose, too, imo....when they get stinky...they're goners.

just realized 'wake'...prolly where the name came from...to see if they would 'awaken'...
