thumb|Mortsafes at a church yard in Logierait, [[Perthshire, Scotland]] A mortsafe or mortcage was a construction designed to protect graves from disturbance, used in the United Kingdom. Resurrectionists had supplied schools of anatomy since the early 18th century. This was due to the necessity for medical students to learn anatomy by attending dissections of human subjects, which was frustrated by the very limited allowance of dead bodies – like the corpses of executed criminals, other deceased prisoners and suicide victims – granted by the government, which controlled the supply.

==Official inaction== Before the Anatomy Act of 1832, people wishing to study anatomy were restricted in their resources, with too much demand for corpses to dissect against a lack of bodies despite the Murder Act 1751, which provided surgeons with the bodies of criminals. Two categories of body snatchers emerged from this crisis: the surgeons, who stole for themselves or their professors, and resurrectionists, outlaws who were hired to steal bodies and convey them from place to place, even across the sea, for sale to medical schools.
