grave digging- anyone do it?

[Matthew Storrs]

Well? I don't at present but is something I may look into. Wondering what certification if any may be required. I have a digger and wouldn't mind manually digging them by hand if needed.

I like the idea of being able to offer this service to the local country churches in this area, but perhaps its the sort of thing which gets sown up pretty quickly.

Could be relitively steady/reliable source of income....

Mind you its a bit of a (sorry I can't bring myself to type it) .... end job.

Last time there was talk of a grave-diggers strike, we had lots of panic dying round here.

Here we go, I had a feeling I was digging myself deeper starting this thread

I knew a chap who used to do it, dug the hole by hand. He got the sack when they went to put the coffin in it wouldn't fit. And that was a true story.

[Shane]

On a serious note it seems like a good idea, have you contacted the local churches?

They must have a local boss (bishop?) you could contact and maybe get some contacts.

 

It's a good idea, if I were you I'd keep a lid on it.

Haha, that made be laugh, I think if I was doing it I'd always oversize to avoid that awkward moment.
