It does happen. You know how far to dig down but sometimes the previous coffin is a little higher than it should. You just gotta be careful when close to desired depth. If you do hit the coffin , cover it up with soil so nothing is visible
Oh yes the good old Lewis Badger the biggest pile of shite that I used for over twenty five years in its various incarnations it drove me nuts in its unreliability when used for grave digging.
Maybe 7 or 8 times a year we hand dig. I tell you the digger makes me soft these days. Nice vid. We use an old as fuck lewis plus its mini coz everythings too tight where we are. Do you get tips? We used too but dont now because of "tax puropses". What a load of balls! The undertekers still charge for it!
Great shot of the lewis badger - thanks for uploading!
Is that Royal Irish Rifles I see on that headstone?
Do you think if they dig too deep and crack the casket that's already there, they just cover it and move on?

Yes
I'd take that digger home any day!
We had a thwaites tusker digger dumper and two tusker dumpers and a thwaites nimline in Wandsworth borough council Battersea New cemetery Morden
I wonder How many times they hit the casket next to the grave that they are digging
There is no reason why they should.
In old graveyard such as this, they hit other remains more often than one would think
@@stuartthorpe9693 sometimes a sidewall collapses and you can get visible coffins but very rare. You tend to put shoring in to secure the hole
Amazing job 👏

Terramite backhoe is the ultimate gravedigging machine. Compact, versatile,and easy to operate.
In my state graves are only dug 4 foot deep.

I dug graves by hand for over thirty years here in darkest Hampshire. I really should put some pictures on here.

Thats a nice small backhoe! JCB?
