Re: Multiple Exhumations
well I became a grave digger by chance actually, after 6 years in the army I found myself unemployed and this period of my life led me to jobs I didn't know before in the construction business. until I saw a team of "croque-mort" in front of a church waiting for the end of the funeral ceremony, smoking their cigarettes and laughing, I thought why not? I talked with them and I eventually got a job. after 6 months as an employee I saw the opportunity to set up my own business. I work mainly alone and I do various "activities" from clothing dead people, preparing the coffin, digging graves, make space in the vault if necessary by reducing the carcasses in bones put in smaller boxes, and also fixing funeral monuments, cleaning graves, engrave letters on the stone etc |

Re: Multiple Exhumations
We keep dead bodies in vaults because of the space it would take if everybody person got his own grave. each family has its own vault and everybody will go in it! That way they can mourn at the same graveside. when it's full I open the oldest coffin, and transfer whats left of the remains in a smaller wooden box and I throw the rest away (clothes, body bag, wood, rotten flesh, pupaes) And then It's good to go until the next one. It's much easier when the vault is dry and the body can dehydrate and eventually transform itself to bones in a year or two. If water fills the vault you saw what you get. it's apocalyptic! |
