  The introduction of mortsafes to cemeteries happened more so in the Georgian era rather than the Victorian era. The 1832 Anatomy Act which allowed doctors/medical students to dissect donated bodies meant that body snatching seldom occurred by the time the Victorian era had begun.

  Also to prevent the dead from going for a walk-about. Those Victorian walking dead had a much better sense of style & didn't go about munching brains.
