I used to photograph in Leavenworth National (something like 12k graves photographed) for find a grave. Seeing the operations there on a near-daily basis was rather impressive. I didn't get to see the actual work being done as I photographed after my work day, but seeing how the grounds are cared for and watching he sections being filled was something else.

[@KaritheMortician]

Wow!

[@melissasmith3134]

Awe you need to share some pictures or videos of the woodchuck. I don't think I have ever seen one. Josh, you made me chuckle when you said weed whipping. Love watching you guys together, so informative.

[@KaritheMortician]

I will

[@susankmccullough8712]

Hey Kari and Josh. Ed is so cute!!

[@KaritheMortician]

[@MrBigtomtom06]

This was refreshing... everyone asked a lot of questions that idk the answers to... "Lamont at large" on here, would be a cool guest to have on.

[@KaritheMortician]

So true I will reach out

The puppy Isaw in the video tonight he is your second dog ,I thought you already had a larger dog but not sure if I remembered correctly or not? Was nice to see you both back on together! Love to you both ❤❤from AKRON, OHIO 😊😊

[@KaritheMortician]

He is our first one and only :)

[@benburns5995]

Hi Kari, just FYI, at the beginning of the video we could hear Josh when his camera was not on. I wonder if there was a Ban Width problem where there wasn't enough for both Video and Sound.

[@KaritheMortician]

We wondered if his audio connected to a blue tooth speaker we had been using earlier in the day. We are going to try again this weekend

[@tombeauchamp4463]

What happens when a spouse dies first, is buried in the VA plot, but then the veteran remarries and wants the new spouse buried with him?

[@KaritheMortician]

That can happen but the vet must decide which to be buried with

[@theearthauger]

Thank you both. I'm happy to be here with you. Thank you 🇺🇲

[@KaritheMortician]

thanks!

[@lindadoran6062]

That was interesting. Thank you. Kari, the Hearsefest this year is September 21st. Are you going? There's supposed to be the worlds longest hearse parade. Ought to be fun. We just got a puppy too, a Boston Terrier. Looking forward to future videos.

[@KaritheMortician]

I work that day so depends when I get out. I wish it was more of an afternoon event and not just mainly the morning

[@R.L.Buick.]

Q reference time: 32:00 Where to find death certificate laws for Nebraska? (We live across country.) In short: Mom has now been buried for 2 years, since August 1. Funeral home is still using CV excuse for death certificate delay. Have given up on life insurance payment.

[@KaritheMortician]

It should have been filed in a week or two after her death no exception. It may have been filed as pending but a cause would be added later by the medical examiner if that was the case. dhhs.ne.gov/pages/vital-records.aspx

Hey Kari and Josh

[@KaritheMortician]

hello!

[@mattthompson7140]

What ia the measurements of the graves at a national cemetery to get it looking perfect in line?

[@KaritheMortician]

Same as all cemeteries on average 8x2

[@mattthompson7140]

@@KaritheMortician I was referring to how they get the tombstones to li e up perfectly diagonally?

[@idamaeteufel4371]

If it rains, why can't a plastic dome be placed over the grave until the deceased is to be buried.

[@KaritheMortician]

It can but it can still run into the hole. It would help a bit though

[@mattthompson7140]

Is FT. Custer named after the guy at little big horn?

[@KaritheMortician]

Fort Custer was named after General George Armstrong Custer, a native of the state of Michigan.

[@mattthompson7140]

@@KaritheMortician Thanks

[@drewwise5966]

What is the oldest veteran you have buried Josh?

[@KaritheMortician]

We will answer that on round two this weekend

[@drmusarts]

There's josh

[@KaritheMortician]

Yeah Josh!

[@christineorozco5431]

Why did Custer switch to the flat in ground markers instead of the above ground type? Do they know how hard it is to find flat ones in the snow? 😂

[@KaritheMortician]

It definitely is! I think they only used the upright for the German section and a few other graves.

[@bill_nye_the_russianspy_9642]
