Very Professional and Dignified effort. Your community should be immensely proud of these workers

[@michaelm5601]

This is one of the best grave digging team I have ever witnessed. While they were doing a good and precise job digging the grave they also protected the graves around the area from tire marks in the grass…… Kuddos Men wonderful job, I hope someone as caring as you cares for your families. 💐

I know myself or a coworker will always salute a veteran when we are done. For what the greatest generation and the Vietnam veterans did for us we own them something

[@geraldduncan5646]

When you ideal weather conditions,as it appears here, it’s can go very smooth. You can imagine that’s not always the case. These guys did a nice job 👍

[@garyreardon11]

I worked for 4 years at a local cemetery. It was hard work, and not a lot of thanks given to the workers. These guys did a great job in the video.

[@mrs_ash_ley]

This was so interesting to watch! They did an amazing job the whole process. Took special care of the area around them & the person who they were burying. Great job fellas!

[@vernonparrish7066]

This was VERY nice! I wish all cemeteries took the care of our loved ones this seriously. I can also understand now after seeing this process how headstones can be replaced in the wrong areas as well as chipped or broken. If the movers/diggers are careless anything is possible. thanks for sharing this!!! I always wonder how /what the process was in digging a grave and refilling it with soil.

[@04charisma05]

My condolences to the family of the departed individual. Kudos to the staff that prepared the grave, they all did an excellent job. I hope they take care of their backs. I’ve had two back surgeries and seeing how much labor is put into this job, makes me nervous. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@nihalburak8764]

Thank you. Very informative. I've never seen the sod put back on any grave I've seen in NYS. That's an excellent touch and makes it so nice to go back and not see just a mound of dirt knowing your loved one is under it all. Like the sod touch.

[@premramsita8354]

Thanks for posting this, I can see the staff here are professional and this was a nice presentation.

That’s a whole lot nicer then what my parents got where I lived. That looks respectful.

Wow.. That's the first I've seen. Best burial ever! Almost like nobody had been buried afterwards..

[@kittymervine6115]

The crew in Keene do a lovely job. All the cemeteries look nice, during the virus, many in Keene have enjoyed walking in the cemeteries as they have wide paths (for social distancing) and not many cars to dodge! Very respectful people watching after all the cemeteries, we have some very OLD ones, and those of us that live in Keene are glad they are managing even the older ones and are so helpful.

[@georgetunstill2341]

Thank you for uploading the video. I've attended a lot of funerals in my life and I even took a course on Thanatology in college, and I have always wondered how a grave is dug. Now I know.

[@ItamiAinz]

Well done! Where i live the dirt is left near the grave where when the burial is taking place each family member and friend takes a handful and drops it onto the casket as its been lowered and or until everyone is done then everyone leaves at once.

[@eddieramos6883]

I'm sure the tens of times these workers do this procedure , they do it with the same dedication and respect .

[@mannyespinola]

Thank you for this video

[@billstmaxx]

lot of extra steps here I don't do being by myself for the whole procedure. I don't keep the sod.. You are replacing top soil. myself i jsut reseed. also I use a sheet of plywood on each side of the grave to keep the extra mess off the grass

[@tinasavage674]

What a professional job 😊

[@anthonycamacho8494]

WOW THEY A BEAUTIFUL JOB VERY PROFESSIONAL .

[@janhunt6042]

I have seen videos before but there is still one question I have that I have not seen addressed. The straps under the casket-- since they are continuous, how do they get the straps from under the casket??? And for some, fyi--a coffin is different than a casket. A coffin has a one-piece lid where a casket has a two-piece lid. I researched it after seeing royal funerals and the "container" called a coffin while normally in the U.S. caskets are used so you view just the upper part of the body. So I now know the difference in a coffin and a casket. And coffins used back in the days of pioneers, etc. When the workers left, all I could think was how lonely it was. When my husband died suddenly in 2006, I went back to the cemetary 2 weeks later, my son had flown back home after staying a week longer to help me tie up loose ends and I went back to the cemetery by myself. As I was walking away, I felt such heartache as I looked back, because I was leaving him behind. The morning my son's bus left the airport for Chicago to fly home, it was 5a.m. and still dark. The only light was from the lights in the parking lot and fromt the moon. I had outlived my family andy my son was all I had. As I stood there watching his bus going down the highway, with tears pouring down my cheeks, standing by myself in that huge parking lot, until his bus was no longer visible, that was when it hit me that I was all alone. The heartache from losing my husband of 30 years and then realizing that I was all alone took everything out of me and I just sat in my car until I could stop crying and get myself settled down so I could safely drive back to an empty house. Now, I am facing the last years of my own life due to lung issues and reality hit hard as I watched this video. Death is a part of living and even thiugh we all know this is where we end up, it still happens to "other" people, not us. I will not step on a grave out of respect for that person's life. Doesn't seem right to walk on them. But that's just me. This video was respectful which is nice. It is just a job to those who work at the cemetery but still, it is someone's loved ones.

[@LynnRedwine800]

NICELY DONE. I have seen many graves with a large hump of dirt after burial. It really looks unprofessional.

[@ladym1910]

That fresh hump of dirt is just the same earth that was removed and put back over the coffin. Since it is no longer compacted, like it was when it was underground, it creates a hump. It needs six months to settle and become flat again. If some of the earth was removed and not placed back, when the earth would settle, it would leave a large hole and not be flat. A foundation for a gravestone or foot stone can then be placed above or below the perimeter of the coffin area. Those are the regulations which I was told in New York City.

[@texasborn2720]

They did a great job. But that don't look like a "city cemetery" ? Looks too nice.

[@vicortiz9322]

Keene is a small town. I dont know why they consider it a city but it's a very beautiful town and very nice people.

[@alisondestefano1907]

At least they are respecting the caskets that go into the ground.

[@eddieramos6883]

At my Dad's burial , once the casket was placed in the what it would had been a "vault" and the soil was placed over it , only but the close family was still at the burial site , and suddenly an old lady showed up yelling that the grave site belonged to her !! Right away the cemetery employees checked out her allegations by examining records and indeed my Dad had been buried in the wrong place . My Dad had to be reburied in the right plot . It seems that someone had taken notice of the mistake and informed the rightfull owner , which was the right thing to do . This happened for real on 1983 in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.

[@DonaldCarrollrepairman2u]

My Fathe in law had to be dug up cause he was in the wrong grave ! Could be because grave makers were not used years ago.

[@theknight45videos]

How many funerals do you guys get a day/how many guys do you have? Where I work we get anywhere between 1 and 6 a day. This week it was 3-6 everyday with 7 guys. I like how you guys put the grass back. We don’t do that but I’m wondering if it’s because we’re busy or management just doesn’t wanna deal with it

[@amyjojinkerson6745]

that is why vaults are used because the equipment might be over a grave while digging it

[@tpfmike1976]

Why is a vault needed. I thought the coffin was just put in the ground.

[@bill_nye_the_russianspy_9642]

@@tpfmike1976 the vault protects the ground so it doesn't sink, if you ever notice old cemeteries with old headstones how the ground is all uneven? Thats because they didn't start using vaults until the 50s or 60s.

And we use ropes 2 lower the casket while they use and a vault and a lowering device👍🏼 even after with a pnumatic hammer for the ground respect🙏🏻 We do have mostly extensions around the stone n also lines not just here and there a grave but this is verry nicely done respect 4 the ppl who do it. Wat also their job is 2 dig up and all wat comes with it its not easy to do if ur light headed.

[@KWilson973]

Is this all done in one day? Or does the dirt need to settle before the grass sod is laid back down?

[@joypalmer7616]

Pretty neat

[@jonathanfalkowsky672]

Some cemeteries dont use lowering devices and just place the coffin in the ground albeit almost drops them. When we buried both of my grandfathers they had no lowering devices.

[@Fatman36]

Man I worked at 2 cemeteries and they were not well kept like this 😂😂

[@andya5721]

Is this the procedure for most of the country of United States? I understand that New Orleans does it different because of the soil there and swamps. Why concrete? Doesn't putting the casket and a concrete box take a lot of space?

[@bobbillings]

Why is there cracks in the bottom of the brand new burial vault

[@maddiedogwillecat4323]

They did not show compacting the dirt or sand around the vault?? We have very heavy clay soil at work and need to do a sand compaction around the vault before we backfill. And this job is not as serene looking when it’s 95+ or -10 with frozen soil.

how do they know EXACTELY where to dig

[@DonaldCarrollrepairman2u]

Just guessing.... I think there are markers in the ground so each grave can be located.

[@marktye322]

Many large cemeteries are now using very precise GPS systems for locating plots. Caterpillar equipment even has GPS guided backhoes to further assure accuracy. The systems were developed for use in National Cemeteries for the internment of our US veterans.

[@jonathanfalkowsky672]

I thought the family watches the coffin go down, not leave before it gets lowered.

[@josephbennett3482]

Most of the time the remains are lowered in long after the mourners have left because it takes a bit of time to finish the burial process , the casket is put into the vault then both the vault and casket are lifted up so the lid can be placed on and sealed shut then the vault is then lowered into the grave which takes a few minutes to lower down. It's best that the mourners not be there cause the cemetery workers have to be able to do their work easily and as quickly as possible so that they can prepare for another burial.

[@brankag739]

@@josephbennett3482 just yesterday at my college campus there's a cemetery & i was at a building next to it & i saw a funeral proceeding during it & the family all gathered for about 15 minutes & then after everyone left was when the casket was lowered. i think it depends on requests from the family's arrangements too

[@roadmaster720]

why do cemetery/vault company personnel wait until the family is gone before beginning to close the graves up? they are families like mine that want to see the closure of the vault and put a few shovels of dirt in the grave as our closure. i know some families freak out at the grave closure and best not to see it. we all see this differently and should respect the family's wishes. if they want to leave or see the grave closed after the first shovel-fulls of dirt are put in by their families and friends it's their choice.

[@0U8123MTA3]

In the town I live in, for the very first burial, a hollowed out tree trunk was used as the casket. That was in the frontier days of course. I'd be fine with being buried in a tree trunk. Also, my uncle was displayed in a casket but requested that his body be transferred to a pine box for the actual burial. I might do that for the day the Lord takes if it be His will. Peace!

It happens a lot more then you think, I’m sure you walk over someones grave when you visit a loved one. if you want to be out there in 100 plus degree weather digging for hours on end with a shovel your more than welcome to get down in the dirt with them, if not, don’t tell us how to do our job

[@brandon18054]

Are you really that dumb? Complaining about people who are doing their job the proper way? Should they have thrown the concrete vault (easily 2000+ pounds) in the grave with their own hands too, just to make you happy? You would give up half-way through digging a grave by hand, probably died by the looks of it. People are so damn stupid these days

[@Cratedigga1]

Was it disrespectful when they worked on your loved ones service? Have you tried backfilling a double depth grave in the rain by shovel? Believe me it's not easy to walk on let alone shovel mud while keeping the lawn as clean as possible!
