Exhumation Certificate

An Exhumation Certificate is the permit to dig a body back up. At a filled grave, the grave window’s Exhume Body button needs one in your backpack and uses it up; the grave then has to be dug out with the shovel, and the corpse drops out, leaving an empty grave. The button only works on a grave with no gravestone and no fence, so take those off first.

Januarius sells them, 1 at a time at his first tier, for a fixed 5.5 silver. Nobody else in the demo does, and there is no recipe.

Notes

  • Digging is grim work. Each shovel swing on the grave adds 1 insanity, five times what digging a new grave costs.
  • Burying the body again pays again. Filling a grave always drops a new Burial Certificate and gives the burial tech points, even for a body that was buried before. A certificate sells for 1 silver, though, so reburying does not pay back the 5.5 silver.
  • It cannot be studied.
