Can't dead people just be buried already?!!!!

COLUMBIA, S.C. Anna Nicole Smith isn't the only dead celebrity who hasn't been buried. James Brown remains above ground, almost two months after he died of heart failure.

A dispute over Brown's estate and burial delayed a decision on the Godfather of Soul's final resting place.

But while a medical examiner says Smith's body is decomposing rapidly, a funeral director says Brown is looking good.

Experts say the reason for the difference is the conditions of the bodies. Brown was embalmed within a few hours of his death. Smith's body was refrigerated more than a week before being embalmed. Refrigeration creates moisture that contributes to decay.
