    He seems like a good bloke doing a good job for the deceased with compassion.

    Thank you sir. We are trying to get the general public more in the know. Limits complaints and educates interest. I hopefully have an article going into my local newspaper talking about this. We also help the funeral directors and grit during the winter season. You are wonderful and important.

      We tend not to hand dig however as we might do 3 burials a day covering 7 cemeteries with 4 staff so I commend you for hand digs.
