No, they'll just misplace the casket in some dark corner of a warehouse and find it months/years later, broken.
Or, they'll leave him on the front step, clearly visible from the street, an easy target of porch pirates.

Bill Moyers - journalist and political commentator. I guess he's also known for his conversations with Joseph Campbell.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He lived to be 90, a strong indication that Jesus didn’t want him back.

He didn't cry convincingly enough...wasn't he the one who sobbed on TV years ago to be forgiven?

Yeah, I remember that. A very pathetic display, but it worked.
