Grandma's Burial

[@justjoan8183]

Thankyou for being their for grandma Daisey God Bless you, what Joy she brought to so many

[@hanabku2175]

I know this is an older video, but i feel encouraged to say that this is very familiar to me. I buried my mother just a couple months ago in the same manner. No preacher, no velvet covered chairs, an no unnecessary frivolity. This straightforward, non-embellished burial is something that many may not understand, but is typical of a strong-minded, faithful folk, who don't need the artificial softness of a modern burial ceremony to inter their dead. It's not about cost. It's about tradition, culture, and a respect for a simple way of life that was surely her history. RIP my dear lady. I have little doubt the Lord has opened his arms to you.

This popped up on my page. I read some comments and decided to share. My Mom lived with me in her last years. She died in my arms. She drilled into my head almost every day that she did not want a huge funeral. After her death we had a small gathering at the funeral home and a small grave side funeral. I spoke about my wonderful mom. So many people loved her. It was after everyone left that i returned to her grave to truly grieve. It is not always what the family wants but the deceased last wishes.

[@e.conboy4286]

@@ajplays7241 What THEY can afford?? The funeral is YOURS. You must arrange to pay the costs of your own burial. Some items include: purchase of cemetery plot, opening and closing of grave, picking up of body and delivery to mortuary, embalming of body, funeral home charge of viewing room for visitation, music, police escort, hearse to deliver body to cemetery, floral arrangements, seats and tent covering over grave, announcement in local newspapers, refreshments / meal for guests. Payment of deceased’s last expenses, nursing home, medications, physicians, closing of his/her residence, notifying Social Security, health insurance providers, banks, post office. This isn’t a comprehensive list and other information may be available. The deceased just don’t jump in a hole in the ground and disappear! Ain’t legal.

Wow, there are so many judgmental people making negative comments on this video. Do any of you stop to think that perhaps this sort of burial may be what the deceased person wanted? Believe it or not, some people are actually quite modest and live very private personal lives and do not wish to make a big flashy ceremony out of everything they do, including death. Some people don't want tons of onlookers staring at every rite of passage they go through in life. The reason why some people choose a burial like this are the same reasons some people choose to be married by a county clerk or a judge in a government building, versus in a church or other fancy setting with a hundred or more onlookers and big fanfare. Really, if you can't understand this concept, you don't have any room to be judging the people in this video.

[@Carol-D.1324]

I am confused by the negativity. This lady is probably a "no nonsense" kind of lady. Clearly she is way up in age, as there only seems to be family there. When my grandfather passed away, he didn't want anything fancy. He said funerals are for the living, cause he has already gone on to be with my grandmother. He wanted short, sweet and simple. It looks to me like this lady was the same way. Fancy or simple, it doesn't matter to the deceased. Prayers for the family.

Without a doubt, the most sorrowful, sad, disrespectful burial I have ever seen. Only 4 people other than the gravediggers and the cemetery crew. Not one tear shed, no flowers from her grandchildren...one small flower from the undertaker thrown disrespectfully and that was it. She had no service, no preacher or family saying anything. This is NEVER FINE. This woman clearly had a life that mattered to people as presumably, she is a "Grandma". She lived and loved, she had a lover and children. The " grandchildren " present, all 4 of them, would not be able to breathe air if it wasn't for this woman. No amount of excuses can be given for this disrespect. May she be in Heaven and with her God and her other family members that went before her and loved her. May this lady know peace,. Shame on those families left that did this.

She was brought to the cemetery in a hearse, you can see it in the beginning of this video, this looks like a cemetery like Forest Lawn in the Hollywood Hills, you cannot bring a vehicle close to the grave site, so this is usually done in big cemeteries....

[@ricktomlinson5481]

This video is typical of the national cemeteries. They do a service near the grave either in a small chapel or weather permitting outside near but not at the grave itself then whisk the casket off to the graveside! (I must say I find this disturbing and yes not dignified at all or perhaps not respectful). These cemeteries are utilitarian and very basic. Only a name plate at the head with birthday, full name and death date. Sometimes an emblem for religious or lodge membership etc. I am old fashion and I find the old cemeteries with beautiful sculpture and beautiful epitaphs far more appealing.

There is nothing disrespectful about this as this is a typical burial.. As a funeral director, I have seen this process hundreds of times. Usually our burials take place after the family leaves the cemetery and we have a crew come in to close the grave along with several of our staff members to help with the grave closing process. Either way, no disrepect was shown in this video and it could have been exactly what the family wanted.

[@DonRRicks]

I can say with 100% certainty that something very close to this happened at the Haven of Rest Cemetery in Van Zandt County, Texas. I would officiate services in the funeral home chapel, we would have the "graveside" service in the chapel and dismiss. The pall bearers would take the casket to the funeral coach and the funeral directors would drive the deceased to the grave site where the burial would take place. The family and friends would wait in the funeral home chapel for 45 minutes or so, then they would go to the grave. It was strange for me the first few times that I held funerals there but the reasoning was sound. The family didn't have to suffer from extrene temperatures, rain or the occasional sleet or snow. It happens

Are you family, or are you guessing? Maybe you are talking about the three or so people that were there. Hardly capable of performing pallbearer service.

Note that the title is "Grandma's Burial", not "Grandma's Funeral". I'm sure they had a lovely sendoff for her, or perhaps will have a nice memorial service at a later date. Often, and you will see it in obituaries, the "interment will be private." A few family members, probably her kids, were there, as was the funeral director, as required, just to verify she was properly interred. This is the "behind the scenes" stuff that wouldn't happen at a graveside service anyway. They would wait until everyone is gone. The only problem I had with this is Granma's last ride had to be a bumpy one in that trailer.

Id like to know how do they get the straps back after lowering the casket down?

[@zadejustin3576]

Soviet Onion 72 The grounds keeper loosens the strap offered by the lowering device, takes both ends of it and slowly starts rubbing and sliding under the casket until it gets loose..if that’s even a good explanation.. But other lowering devices offer different methods which are much easier..

Also, the grave liner or vault have raised "feet" that the casket sits on. Just high enough to get the lowering straps out. If no liner or vault is required at a particular cemetery, small blocks of concrete,plastic, or wood directly on the earth underneath, are used for the same purpose.

I remember at my grandma’s funeral I wanted to stay for the burial but I couldn’t

It's Sam here in Maine,they won't detere the casket into the vault until everyone is gone

I live in Ga. It is customary for the family to leave before the casket is lowered. The limo takes the family back to the funeral home. The family can get in their car and go back of they want to. The casket is already buried at that point.

I didn't see a vault lid or think grave had room for one...

I'm sorry to say... I also dont know why I'm watching this video but it's something different of the funeral and very interesting....

I like this though. Less costly. Why burden the family.
