    You are one of the cleanest farmers. Vacuuming equipment. Bathing dogs, organizing the cemetery correctly. A car cleaned works better so does equipment, it last longer, like your old formal tractor, remember your papa equipment.

    I'm 81 yrs old and when I was in my early teens back on the farm, we planted beans every three years after corn just for the nitrogen and plowed them under, there was hardly any market for them.

    It sounds like whoever was laying out the plans for the cemetery isn't real good with math and spatial relations ! 🤔
    Maybe you need to draw them out a little map and put dimensions of the equipment needed to dig graves.
    What's the only other option, digging the grave sideways with a mini excavator ?

      Yes a mini excavator and digging sideways is a great alternative to the big backhoe. Also a headstone lifting rig helps a lot. The two combined will usually solve most problems.

    Noticed in a local graveyard that they’re now putting headstones back to back and 9 foot to a 4 ft footpath and 9 feet to the next set of headstones . They use a mini digger to dig the graves . Also building 6 -7 ft high stone walls in a separate area with rows of small vaults for cremation urns .

    I am always amazed that you dig through the frozen ground to do burials in the winter. Here on the east coast of Canada, we do very few burials from January until April. How do you even know where the plots are with the flat stones under four feet of snow. The funeral homes keep the remains stored until April/May.

      In my little NH town there are no burials once the ground is frozen and/or there is snow cover. In the active parts of the cemetery there is an alleyway between the pairs of rows of graves for access by equipment. It's been some years since we had to dig by hand for a full burial.

    I have family interred at a veterans cemetery. The graves are practically on top of each, no room between them. Head stone is only approximately 6 1/2 ft between head stone and the end of where the feet should be. I have wondered if the coffins are placed long wise to ensure the coffin will fit. Our veteran cemeteries are becoming over crowded with the honored dead!

    @jls6779 11 місяців тому

    it would be interesting to see how many acres some of those cemeteries are that you dig for. I work for our local Cemetery Commission and the two cemeteries we maintain and dig the graves for, we have our lots set up to be 10 feet head to foot and 8 feet side to side in the new sections. Our older sections are 30 foot head to toe and 15 feet side to side. Our largest cemetery is around 65 acres and was founded in 1876 and the other active one is around 45 acres and was founded in the early 1900's. But there are graves and lots that were sold 50 to 100 years ago that are family lots and we are still putting people in them and we also have a hard time getting to some of them. But one thing that helps us is we have a Mini Excavator at the one older cemetery and a backhoe at the other. And we can move them back and forth if needed. So it might be something your family may want to look at getting to help dig in the tight spots. And maybe something to mention to your Commission for the new sections is alternating the types of stones that can be placed. Like right at the road/path be flat, then upright, then another row of flats, on across the section. That helps from time to time to make it easier on us also.

    Comment on the graves. In the Veteran’s cemetery, when they are built, the first 6 feet are scraped off over the entire area. Then the vaults are placed side by side and head to toe. After that the top dirt is replaced on top of the vaults. When a grave is dug you would only be digging to the vault, remove the lid, drop the casket, replace the lid and then cover. Normal cemeteries are not flush with money enough todo this. Also veterans are also buried in the next grave available, no choice on location. A funeral director told me this. He also taught me that is better to be “seen” than “viewed”.

    Having a hard time sleeping and was thinking about this video from the other day. I know the easiest solution would be to make sure the plots are spaced correctly. I have no experience with grave digging, machinest by trade. I was at a stop light few weeks back, there was this guy using a machine to vacuum the dirt out of a hole. Think its called hydro excavation? Would that work in the grave yard? The capital purchase would alot but maybe help get into tight spaces? Keep up the great work. Cheers from Wisconsin.

    I see the problem at the cemetery. Are all the plots laid out and marked? I assume you have a probe rod? Those sure come in handy. I'm the trustee and on the board of our old family cemetery, and we've all been ending up there since the 1820s. We have a different problem. All the old families have moved away or died out, and they have their funerals and nobody is buying new lots. We are only 8 aces and we have a lot of unsold and unused lots left, and we even have 4 acres to the South that we lease to a farmer, and that' lack of activity really hurts the money we get out of our trust fund. I am happy to know that you guys take care of a couple of them. It takes a special kind of person to so that work. I had to go to our cemetery early after my mom died at age 95 and mark where the place for the back hoe to dig. Mom had it set up in her estate that some was to go to the cemetery association, and she preferred people making donations to our cemetery instead of sending any flowers. Those donations were a big help to us as our upkeep and lawn budget has normally been close to 10k/year. I suppose it's like President Clinton quipped one time, being President was like running a cemetery: You're over everybody but nobody is listening.

    At the cemetery where my parents are buried, they won't allow stone markers. Only bronze markers are allowed, and they must be flush mounted. A lot easier to dig graves, and mow grass. And the dirt and sod from the grave is always put into a dump truck and removed prior to the funeral so it is not litering the ground. After the burial the dirt and sod is replaced. During the winter or in inclement weather there is a chapel on the cemetery grounds to accommodate the family. A first class operation all the way.
