RE: Buried in Concrete
After Powell's funeral in 1994; as the guests and family were leaving, the cemetary workers poured concrete over Powell's coffin before he was buried. This was done to deter theft or desecration and it was at the family's request. The mahogany coffin is encased in a little tin vault as well. As a side note, Mike Kauffman helped to lower the coffin into the grave.

I'm aware of Ned Kelly, but don't know much about him -
