If Eric and Dylan were buried 16 years ago..

Would their remains still be intact? Are they as "God-like" as people assume? Considering they are apparently deities Earth was blessed with do you think Earth would have done a favor and preserved their remains?

Wasn't Eric cremated? Dylans body would have decomposed to skeletal form by now, I'm not sure if this was meant as a philosophical question though...too hot today

Was Dylan buried? I always get the two of them mixed up. If Dylan was buried then his remains would just be a skeleton by now.

Dylan had a funeral where he was in a coffin but it's never been said whether or not he was actually buried or cremated. My guess is he was probably cremated in fear of his grave being vandalized.

Yea I would say they cremated it for the same reason, Interesting though, I wonder if either of their parents kept the ashes? Or were they scattered on the Rockies or something?

I don't know about Eric, but personally, I feel that Dylan's may have been scattered somewhere in the mountains because I read that his Father goes up into the mountains on Dylan's Birthday and has a can of Dr. Pepper or something along those lines. If that story holds water, then I think perhaps he scattered his ashes up there and that is why he goes there on his Birthday and has a drink of Dylan's favorite soda. Don't know how true the story is though.

This question is obviously a bit sarcastic, but yes anyone under the ground for 16 years would now be a skeleton.
Coffins and concrete vaults preserve a body longer than someone just being buried in the earth alone, but eventually all tissue breaks down and decays .

It wouldn't suprise me if Dylan was scattered up on the Rockies. As for Eric, who knows.

Yep, and this goes for victims as well, they would just be skeleton, scattered pieces of hard Styrofoam coroners use to reshape skeletal injuries (like skull fractures), and the bio-hazardous waste bag they dump your organs into when your autopsy is finished.

Dylan Klebold was in a temporary cardboard casket during his funeral. He was definitely cremated.
