Video

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.

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.

This is a great video. Very informative

Jeez...isnt there an easier way to cut the sod??? Those guys must have aching backs...

That one guy is massive.

Why would you not use anything for the tractor tires but you use something for truck tires.. and where is your 3ft bucket for that rink-y-dink backhoe arm.. yiked

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?

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

А где прощание родственников у могилы?

Наверное такое захоронение дорого стоит?

Thank you for showing the house I built by the covered bridge in ashuelot. You do realize that upon expiration or abandonment that from a lease from 1822 by the house there's a 2 rod right of way (33feet)that reverted back to the property. It was leased to the ashuelot rail road company and is not public land. The state needs to look it up in the Cheshire County registry of deeds and by the old woodflower mill the gate is on private property, where the old church fence is is where the railroad went threw not where the gate is.

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.

these guys are tops for their care of this burial and cemetery. nice professional work.

What a professional job 😊

Homelessness may not always be a choice, but it is often the result of poor decisions, like not thinking about your own well being and saving for a rainy day. However that said the other half of it is often government over policing and regulating and interfering with the construction of homeless shelters, housing, and similar. We don't need to be locking up people for smoking a bit of weed or throwing them in prison just because they're caught without a drivers license three times. It's one thing if you can show they're a genuine danger to others maybe, but it's a completely different matter to simply lock someone up because you've taken away their license for failing to pay child support (often the result of the loss of employment, etc).

Hello! I'm from Ukraine. I have 10 years of experience in the production and installation of granite monuments. Worked at a factory of granite production. Performed the duties of a marketer, content manager of the site, manager for the sale of granite products. He also mounted monuments and other products made of granite. He was the master's assistant. I studied English at school and university, I will understand the goals. I have category B and C licenses. I am looking for a job as a fitter assistant. I can work in the cemetery. If necessary, I can manually lift the weight up to 100kg. May I be of service to you?

Thank you for the video. It was very informative and educational. I often wondered about this process and I now have a clear understanding.

I’ve never heard of a municipal grave yard

No thanks burn me it’s much cheaper

Society,the community,NEEDS TO QIUT BLAMING the homeless FOR EVERYTHING.this can happen to anyone,but you’ve got veterans and elderly,families,sick folks out there and people that SIMPLY CANT AFFORD a roof over their heads.so don’t blame the homeless or throw rocks at people that already live in tents or in the woods or under bridges.society and people are so FULL OF HATE.And what’s up with these STATES THAT ARE LIBERAL,or PRETEND to care??..no different then conservative GREED..

The care and good work ethics these men are the reason this Cemetery looks so neat a meticulous. Thanks guys from all the families that you serve… Kudos

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

When your a recipient of ssi, it is absolutely against the law to save more than 2 thousand or have any asset worth more than 2k. So that guy who thinks he can save while he's in the shelter is setting his self up for getting all his benefits permanently revoked through no fault of hos own doing and can even face up to ten years in jail for ftaud and be ordered to pay back a large portion of past accumulated benefits ... A lot of people don't realize how strict and unconstitutional and flat out criminal the rules of Ssi are they have a rule that you can't even accept gifts over $20 a month if you do you mist report it so they can deduct it from your monthly benefit and ifvyou don't and they find out your done! FCK Ssi thanks for keeping me poor and ohh I don't qualify for anything because its too low of an income and considered a non stable fluctuating income and everyone looks down on you and the rest think you get free money. Its anything but free its a nightmare and a prison can't accept gifts or inheritance get married take out loans claim lottery winnings own anything buy life insurance grrrr

They helped me when I was near being homeless.then my husband died valentine day this past one .I had to leave NH homeless in Florida I may have to go back to NH to Keene NH to 100 nights

Fantastic job.You’d never know there was grave there at all.👏🏻👏🏻

Your burial technique is better then most iv'e seen. Great Pro job. 👍

Pretty neat

Dan White sent me here.

This is so extra. Just get cremated guys.

Ben Carson did a deep dive on this and came up with the idea of putting tiny houses in peoples back yards. Im not sure if they were on wheels or stationary. Anyway with the agreement from the neighborhood allowing this to happen after seeing that the person moving there was an agreeable type. To add also the tiny house movement has to come about and resistance put aside. There are greedy investors on more than one level creating higher and higher living costs with no end in sight. Its time to stop putting a blind eye to this because it will have to be dealt with. So here is one of the best thought out solutions. If its not acted upon then it shows that people just dont give a sh----te

Well done.

Smart to keep the character of the town/city. The leaders should be commended!

The heroin is called " the Queen of drugs", In Italy it started to be available in the early 60s, it was difficult to find it, but it was there. Over the years, new drugs have come out, but heroin is always in demand, and is currently very easy to find. Heroin has destroyed many, too many young people, it has destroyed entire families, it is a substance that attacks your body but above all your mind and only a few people manage to save themselves.

Many use their money on their drug habits so they choose buying drugs over paying for rent and food....others were arrested, get released and find they lost their housing.......these people need serious rehabilitation.....then help.....not just free handouts......and as far as that woman who says she stays with friends but it doesnt work because SHE'S too private......i think its actually because people using you, gets old......yes there are some, homeless no fault of their own.....but many caused their own problems, mainly due to drug/alcohol.....some may be willing to rehabilitated, others not so much......word got around the homeless camp behind the west street plaza was cleaned out because they were harassing shoppers for money etc.....lets get the truth out......dont ask for help......lying to get donations......people really need to work to get out of homelessness.....handouts are just too easy and wont do it......medication ends up sold as a drug.....

Well done, and so empathetic. You guys in Keene are an inspiration. Thanks so much.

Y'all do a fine job tho!

Hey guys you should get your supervisors to buy you a bucket that's wide enough for the whole grave so as to save tons of time by not having a guy jump down to dig out the sides...

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.

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

Never lend a friend more than 10 bucks.
