Bodies were needed for post-mortem examination so that medical science might advance, and the "sack em ups" as these who pursued this awful avocation were called later on, could deliver their grim cargo unmolested. If they chanced to meet a benighted traveller, they passed silently as the fairy headless horses, and headless drivers - it required but little disguise to deceive the unsophisticated.- Bailitheoir
