a rather goth job

I hear the cemetary the next town over is hiring for groundskeepers.. I think I'd really like that, I might go apply..

"So what do you do for a living?" ... "I bury people".. Heh.

I actually read that first as :

... I think I'd really DIG that, I might go apply..

That would be so cool.

They mostly dig the graves with backhoes now. A little shovel work involved in re-seating the grave dirt, but not digging a full 6-foot deep hole.

You'd probably be mowing lawns, weeding, picking up trash, that sort of thing.

I had a friend that ran a crematory.... That was interesting

My family has a tradition when someone dies. Right after the casket/vault is placed in the ground, They (mostly the men) actually shovel the dirt in as a group, all of it. The guys that are employed by the cemetary look on in amazement. If the cemetery will not provide shovels, we'll bring our own. It is actually a deal breaker when choosing a cemetery, some have rules for union issues. "Let us bury our own dead or we go somewhere else."

I wish I could find a job working outside. Any job in nature would suit me fine. I think it is perfect and good luck.

thats very beutifull to me. to man up and honor the passing as a tribe of people bearing responsability for the task at hand. showing a respect and strength required. I like that very much.

much respect for that action has been earned.

hope I did not say something you consider wrong

when I was in 8th grade we took tests to see what jobs we'd be best suited for when we got older.

No I got Engeneer (which was stupid cause I suck at math), but the girl I liked got Grave Digger.

I actually did a search on my last name and found out that I may be related to someone in Pensylvania that owns a funeral home. hehe.

I just thought that was funny.
