I suspect I’m one of a very small group of FReepers who can claim to have actually dug graves (by hand) for a living.
In fact it was probably the best “while going to college” job I had.
I can’t say I ever saw anyone actually stand a corpse up for a photo op, but this was in the days prior to the ubiquity of cell phone cameras and the internet. The group I worked with was a jolly, quirky sort.
We did have one guy fired for displaying a lack of decorum. He stood with his shirt off, leaning on his long shovel smoking a cigarette while the family and priest were gathered around for their final prayers.
I once dug a bunker in the backyard while growing up.
Never did get around to finishing it in with a roof.
