Cemetery Guns and Grave Torpedoes

Protection against grave robbers during the 1700's and 1800's.

I love this, from an advertisement:

"...sleep well sweet angel, let no fears of ghouls disturb thy rest, for above thy shrouded form lies a torpedo, ready to make minced meat of anyone who attempts to convey you to the pickling vat."
