While your description of the issues with the story was 100% right on, you can't be sure that a body will be only bones in one year. Depending on the circumstances of the internment and the climate, corpses can remain in good condition for many years - good enough for Zombie purposes anyway. Think of all those mammoths frozen in Siberia or bog bodies.

Yours in better corpses,

Dr. Bob That's if they were buried in a fridgid and dry conditions. I am somewhat certain your typical urban burial does not hold these conditions.
