Do Fingernails Grow When You Are Dead?

Answer Question

    Sorry, they do not continue to grow. A dead body will begin to dehydrate and the skin around the nails will shrink making it look like the nails are longer but they aren't.

      I heard that they do and so does hair.

        Both hair and nails continue to grow for a while.

        No, your fingernails don't grow, what happens is your skin pulls back from your nails and that's why the nails look longer.  It's not something I really want to think about.
