How are graves dug?

Graves are typically dug using a combination of manual and mechanical methods. In many cases, a backhoe or excavator is employed to quickly and efficiently excavate the soil, especially for larger cemeteries. For smaller or more delicate sites, workers may use shovels and spades to hand-dig the grave to the required depth. The dimensions and depth of the grave usually adhere to local regulations, often around six feet deep.
