The cemetery near me doesn't even save the sod, just start digging.
boy do I ever love the dump truck and backhoe what year is the Chevy love them old trucks love to have some of the dirt rich soil
Easier way to do that is put the lid on the handler first and add the cross bars and put the vault above it. Saves the back a little from pulling the lid back on the handler. 😁
Nice work guys 👍
Thanks! It was great fun! 😊
Beautiful 🍁🍂🌲
Thank you!
Nice looking turkeys 😊
They are! We really enjoy a quick break to observe the wildlife!
Nice to know that dirt gets knocked into the empty vault during the installation…..😦
It’s even nicer to know that the dirt is common since it is a hole in the ground, and is always swept out before the funeral.
[looks, great]🙏👍
[looks, great]👍
Why are you tipping over a monument?
Just dropping it into the hole to install it. All the stone markers are set by hand.
Oh! OK 😊
Great work gentleman ❤
Thank you so much 😀
I wouldn't dig it for a million bucks tractor backhoe yee haw that's how we do it
how is the weather in Tennessee the grass looks spectacular do you fertilize it nice dark green and thick wish that were my lawn ha ha
@@markwinnicki8802 don’t use fertilizer or herbicides. Just regular mowing. The weather lately has been rain at night and HOT in the daytime! Thanks for watching!
how many hours on that case 450 do the still make that model
God's work. What size are those canopies/ tents typically?
The tent is 16x18. Thanks for watching.
damn I'd love to have the dirt also for the yard so my new gravely zt hd 52 that I wish was a 60 she wouldn't let get the 60 then but now she said oh I didn't know what trim side lenth was damn women now im stuck with the 52 told only one time wanted a ferris 500s but dealers were jerks she's only got 3.8 hrs on the Kawasaki fr691v what I should have done was bought the damn 60 and said they didn't have a 52 she said your not bringing that thing in my yard now that she saw her big mouth mistake they ain't gonna trade she ain't on my great list yet and It was only 100.00 more for the 60 if she says trade it in next spring and pays the balance heck i,ll be tickled but not holding my breath
You need the one you need. It’s always tough to push back when people correct you without all the information. Thanks for watching.
@@CemeteryShop-yg6gi especially an Italian woman who thinks her poop don't stink I have a plan that will cure her problem I,ll just go get the gravely 60 hd or there ferris 500s 61 and then I wait to see the priceless look on her face then will see who has the last laugh ha ha when I worked at the cemetery I took a turn for the hearse ha ha
Damn I'd love to have that case backhoe for ripping out stumps and for snow with some windows in the cab of course
It’s a nice basic tool. Any heavier than this and we’d be caving in the old wooden vaults from years ago when there weren’t any standards. About that enclosed cab, they’re nice but heavy, and they eliminate the ability to effectively communicate with the ground guy. Thanks for watching!
@@CemeteryShop-yg6gi ya I know what you mean I worked in a cemetery in 03/04 yep real fun when it's Doug next morning caved in or water logged get the pump
Guys work really hard to make it nice for the family
Thanks for watching!
Classic vault
Big like number 11! Excellent video and thank you so much for sharing!
It was a fun day. Thanks for watching!
I think I get cremated!
Cremation is getting to be a popular option these days. Thanks for watching!
Very nice. The cemetery where I work has wild turkeys and deer. 👍
Very cool! We love our wildlife here, all kinds of critters. 🦃 🦌 🐿️
We agree!
You wonderful men really know how to do a great job. All of you worked this like a well oiled machine. God bless all of you.
Thanks so much for those heartwarming sentiments! It’s a tough job, but well worth it when people appreciate us like this. Thank you for subscribing, I hope you enjoy the channel. 😊
Thank you so much for such a kind comment.
Oooh, hope you’re staying warm and safe, guys!
Yes we are. This was a short day just because we had to check on the place . It’s been too cold and snowed in to do any burials, I imagine when things warm up we’ll be swarmed with funeral homes wanting immediate service. Hey good to hear from you Jim! Happy Sunday!
Good job. 👍We had rain mixed with sleet where I work at. 🥶 The work has to get done if at all possible. Stay warm guys.
We had high hopes for today but it was just too much. The dog thing was unexpected and took some time away from us. After that I was wiped out! Thanks for watching!
Good job
Thanks for the kind words, and many thanks for watching!

Ok then
Ok, then. I know it’s not great, but it’s original. Going to redo it in a studio soon, should turn out much better.
You ain’t fixing to get a bobcat? Never mind you have one lolol
Yep. We have a case 1845 uniloader with a whole slew of attachments. Thanks for watching Matthew!
We gig about 8-10 graves a year at a small cemetery about 4 miles in a small town about 4 miles east of the town I live in.We just load the excess dirt on our Dodge 1 ton 4x4 97 flat bed. Then we push it off with a backhoe. We have 1 Case 580 Super L 4x4 and 2-580 Super M 4x4 one 580M is a .extendahoe we use a 3” heavy duty trenching bucket. We don’t have any rock.
Always good to hear from another gravedigger about their experiences. Consider yourself fortunate there’s no rock where you dig. We have several areas with solid rock, it’s a beast to manage. Thanks for watching!
What is the advantage of of a such short sided bucket.
The main advantage of this particular bucket is the width. It’s four ft. To exactly match the width of the grave so we don’t end up crooked. It really holds plenty of dirt the way it is. Any more dirt would actually be a disadvantage when loading the small dump bed of the Kubota RTV on steep hillsides. Thanks for watching!
Rich, poor, whatever, death 💀 is our fate. Stay humble.
So very true. Thanks for watching!
Nice work!
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for watching.
Wow that is not a backhoe operator!
Well, he’s a wrecking machine in real life, but yes, a great backhoe operator as well.
Interesting to see the procedure greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks for watching! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Great job guys. You do take pride in your job
Thank you for those kind words, and thanks for watching!
Late 90s early 2000 i worked as a care taker for a cemetery then got job working for a excavating co still digging graves. We dug a and backfilled a few by hand and it was a nightmare. Most of those was for mennonites. Enjoyed digging graves but rather dig for new homes lol
We love what we do, but you’re right about hand digging. It’s brutal, we couldn’t keep any legitimate schedule that way. Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video about your backhoe
We did one that went into some detail already. I’m sure it’s not as inclusive as just a stand alone video about the backhoe because it’s more about how we use it to dig a grave. It was our first video, Cemetery Shop Digs a Grave.” Thanks for watching!
Thanks Fred now i might know how!😂
Big like number 9! Fabulously done and thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks very much!
I had a Case 480 C think mine was in 86 I never cared for how the hydraulic piston was mounted on the side of the boom I think it's the Dipper it had broke a couple of times, I had to have it welded, but the 580 had it on both sides
We’ve never had anything like that happen with ours, it’s been a fine machine for a lot of years. Thanks for watching!
Grease is the word!
This is definitely one of our best videos. Well done Marvin. And the “I wonder how you blur names out” at the end is too funny 😂
I agree! It’s great to see people enjoying it so much. Hard work does indeed pay off!
Great job and video.👍 We don't have those types of doubles where I work, just the bronze ones.
We have one section that is in ground bronzes only. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Im in Blessing , Tx retired, great video
Thanks for watching! Isn’t Blessing down a bit from Houston? Happy Sunday!
👍🙏
👍👍. Thanks for watching!
Believe it or not but some funeral homes still dig graves by hand and back fill the grave by hand. Tamping the dirt around the vault or casket is also done by hand. The chance of a grave caving in or washing out is much less when done by hand.
We do very well the way we do it. Hand digging is brutal work, I plan to be able to work every day. Thanks for watching.
I’m a boomer and I believe in old school stuff. My always taught me hard work pays off
@@thesledge1969 using a backhoe is old school enough for me. You’re welcome to try it though. 😅
You don’t have to worry that one caving in. about
Nope! Not this time. We enjoyed it though.the jackhammer is a great workout. Thanks for watching!
How many hours on the 480C. My family had 2-580C’ s in the 80’s We now have 1-580 Super L 4x4 and 2580Super M 4x4’s 1 of them is a extendahoe. I have roadbed a open rops 580C a lot of miles in all types of weather here in the Midwest. We open graves at one local cemetery.We use a full size 36” bucket.
Well, it’s a ton of hours, I’d have to look at it on Friday. This old cow still amazes me by always being up to the job! Cheers to the gravediggers! 😊
Why do they use a short sided bucket and not a a dare 3’ bucket.
We use a gravedigger bucket specifically designed for the job. It’s exactly the width of the grave so we don’t have to reset the backhoe to get a strait line on the sides. Also, the bucket bring wider than a ditch bucket means we can get a lot of dirt out with each scoop. A ditch bucket also doesn’t cut the ends straight down like a grave bucket. This is the right tool. Thanks for watching!
Iv always wanted to be a mortition, but i never did. Love these types of videos.
I’m not sure I could be a mortician, that’s a little too hands on for me. I prefer dirt. Thanks for watching!
