“It is known that if one is ‘niftar while still alive he is promised arichas yomim’. He explained that he heard a rav say that laying down in a kever is a segula towards achieving this longevity.”
Where is exactly is the “known” from and who is this “rav”??
A segula with out a source is worthless.

I checked with a friend who has worked with the cheverah kashish for over 33 years and whose father, z’tl, who worked with the CK in the alte heim. He has never heard of such a segulah and suspects, exactly the opposite is true which doesn’t bode well for this guy Stern. Of all the nutty segulos we read and hear on this pages, this one truly rises above the others in its fundamental lack of any roots in daas torah.
