Invented in the 1810s, the heavy coffin-shaped mortsafe was placed over the wooden coffin after interment and left there until the body had decomposed enough to no longer be suitable for dissection. The watchhouse would be occupied for the same period of time.

These features were designed to thwart the body-snatchers of the early 1800s who would steal the recently buried to sell to local medical schools.
