It could be implied that the antagonist cut Susies throat because the blade is seen on the sink. We don't see any other evidence of this though.

No one is buried alive. Spoiler: dead bodies are buried AFTER they die, like when Susie is killed them dismembered and buried. No one is buried alive and there is no allusion to anyone being buried alive.

The detail about the elbow is in the book, not the movie. In the movie they only reference there being a lot of blood.

it depends how you define infant. i personally would say no, as i understand "infant" to mean under a year old and the youngest victim is six years old. this is depicted quite disturbingly and could still be triggering

The main character is a “ghost” for most of the movie, but there is usually a separation between her world and the living world. She appears as she did when she was alive the whole time, no scary appearance.

two. the first is when a child cant breathe (he swallowed a twig and choked) and we only see him sitting in a bed, completely fine, with no machinery or doctors around him, and then his sister and grandmother standing in a cozy, almost office-like waiting room. the second is more graphic, a man is brutally beaten up and rushed in on a stretcher where we see medical equipment and doctors and nurses yelling

A character talks about wanting to be a wildlife photographer and taking photos of “elephants and rhinos” but says their neighbour will have to do until they achieve that life dream. The neighbour is a bigger lady working out on her drive way. Unsure if this is intentional or not but could maybe upset some people!

It feels content.
(Spoilers)
Sad that she’s gone but happy that she’s content and she’s come to terms with what happened.
