RE: Everything Is Biodegradable. Especially You
You are right about the ground being froze hard here for a lot of the year. If you need to know how deep the frost is at any given time, just ask the cemetery sexton. He will know!
I bet they have to have some powerful equipment to dig the graves in the dead of winter! I don't even know what they would use, do you? Guess I could google it. I never thought about it before.
George is the sexton of the cemetery in my hometown where my family members are buried. He is a marshal arts expert and takes great pride in the fact that he digs every grave by hand. In the winter he uses a pick to break through the frost. As he has gotten older his two daughters have stepped up and work beside their dad. Many people around the county call George to have him come out to the farm if a horse dies and the ground is frozen.
wow! that is amazing! I didn't know anyone dug them by hand anymore. And his daughters are working with him! That's amazing too! Ya'll have some amazing people up there. lol. How are you doing today?
