My father's first wife's father was a gravedigger in Cork city. He was clearing out some old graves when two old ladies passed by. They asked what the bodies looked like after being buried so long. 'Better than you two' he replied. He dropped dead ina grave that he was digging on St Patrick's Day.
I can’t believe how shallow that grave is at the start, I thought they had to be six feet deep. Also how they immediately fill the grave, it all seems so quick.
Wonderful human being. His cross stands today.

Yeah, they backfilled him fairly fast alright....
How beautiful was the service..my Great Grandparents came from cork and l am proud of this.
I have an uncle, his wife and son, buried in Pocklington, Yorkshire, all in separate graves side by side. Maybe the rock bed is high.
@@crossman20 Did you notice the human femur bones and bits of broken coffin thrown in?
You have to remember the person would have been waked at home for days
Very good
Fuck me, did they just give up digging after 2 feet or what? That's the shallowest grave I ever saw.
That guy really likes his pipe 😄
