As a township worker we very seldomly encounter such situations. We explain everything just as you did. In closing we jokingly ask them to join us with their shovel and than we’ll park the machine. Pretty much ends the conversation with a laugh and an understanding.
Cremation is another option…I would tell them!
Your family shows so much respect when you do the cemetery work. Thank you🙏
Tell em to dig their own
👍. I wouldn’t Leave my House for $ 200.00. 😬👍
Most of us would prefer that anyway lol
I think you handled that question of money very well - many people would take offense at such a question but you handled it with dignity and you're right - things DO cost a lot and it costs money to make money - and I know you do a good job! Cheers ♥
Never thought about how much went into digging a grave until I watched you all- it looks like a lot of work. It’s nice to see how respectful you are when working in a cemetery
That’s how a Midwesterner would answer. Minneapolis and Chicago excepted of course.
Wow, some people don't think before they open their mouths. You handled that much better than most would have if asked the same question about their job.
I would've thrown him the skid loader keys and told him to show me how to trench with it.
You handled that well DC. People that have never owned their own business can't imagine what goes into it. I just watched Nave and Cole's video on their 2nd baby. Congratulations to all the grandparents I know all of you are excited. Love to you all!😊
Granddaughter......😎👍
Daddy Cornstar, your neighborhood is fortunate to have your services as grave digging available to them. Someone who is caring and proud of their work and is concerned that they contribute to the comfort to the families and friends at a time of sorrow. Not everyone can do that job, they are are fortunate that you are very good at it.
Good of you to be patient with folks, DC. Cole did a study of your costs a year or so back when you needed to update your fees. You do your job with compassion and honor!
You have earned the wage that you charge to open and close a grave. My Grand Father dug graves during the depression and people told him the same thing about charging to much, he would tell them the other option was for the family to dig the grave themselves, which never happened. You keep doing the Godly work that you an Cole do and ignore those that don't understand.
God bless you Daddy Corn Star. I lost my husband in Jan. of this year. Because of people like you I got to lay my husband to rest. Never forget that what you do is a blessing to these families. Your kindness and attention to the little details does not go unnoticed by them I'm sure. I so love your cannel. You and your family brighten my day.
So sorry for your loss.
Isn’t it amazing how someone who has never done your job knows so much more about the job than you do?
I once had a job where I had to bid on jobs. I finally developed the rule of thumb--figure out the cost and then double it. There were so many hidden or long term expenses you can totally overlook. And that is just to break even. My fear of overcharging made bidding difficult.
I was not very good at bidding. Sometimes I would have to work my tail off to keep job on bid. Something needs repair or you need a part--all unplanned on budget. In your case I have no idea how to charge equipment depreciation, mileage, etc. My boss did that after I submitted time needed. I think customer was charged 125 per hour to allow for wages, & other
Any piece of your equipment should be charged out at at the least 100 an hour. So if you bring three pieces of equipment and it takes you 2 hours that's 600 right there. I had a towing company and I got that crap all the time. 250 dollars holy cow are you a rip off. Rollback tow truck 121k cost insurance, drivers pay, fuel wear and tear. Winching some idiot who was speeding and went off the road. People are clueless about the cost to run a business. Daddy Cornstar my wife and I live your videos. You are so down to earth and speak the truth. No wonder you have such great kids. Thank you for entertaining us so often.
Great explanation of the cost you have for digging…. People don’t really think about back end costs on anything. Everyone seems to think things just magically get done! 😂😂. Really enjoy your channel!! 😊❤
I've seen you dig a grave before, and you always make sure the area is clean for the service. Then coming back at least once after you put the dirt back in to make sure there's no dip in the gravesite. You are always very respectful as well. Not an easy job, so thank you for what you do. ❤
I think you did a fantastic job explaining about the cost of digging a grave. Here in Southeastern Ky in our little neighborhood I think they charge like $750 or $850 per grave and digging a grave at most of the cemetery’s is a lot of rock. Sometimes they have to blast them. I use to help hand dig graves when I was younger and that is hard work. Anyway, great video. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy watching.
The "gentleman " that handles the cemetery where my mom is buried hit me $1800 . At her funeral. Asked if I could pay it then. No class .
You did a great job explaining that DC. Back when I had my business and I was working at a woman's
house, she asked, why I charge so much. I told her the tools I work with aren't cheep and I use the right
tool for the job. ( I was using a sander at the time ) So, I told her if this breaks, are you going to replace
it for me, so I can finish the job. An she said "no " that was up to me. I said there you go. An then there
that million dollar insurance I have to carry. Asked her if she wanted to pay for that too, for the year.
She smiled said carry on and walked away.
Congratulations on grandnibblet #2! So precious to see the next generation growing up on the family farm! God bless as y'all prepare for harvest!
Well done Daddy CornStar, disappointing to have someone suggest that you were taking advantage of others - I couldn’t imagine you in that way, I think you are a wonderful, generous and thoughtful person. 😁👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️
For the couple that complained about the charges to open and close a grave. Maybe they should undercut Daddy Cornstar on pricing. Ask the man when hes available and pay him $200 for his services.
I've received the same type of comments on towing vehicles and plowing snow. You charge too much. Well, purchase the equipment, get licensed and insured, and be available 24/7, and I'll pay you instead of me getting out of bed.
I absolutely agree with the snowplowing . I would point out the cost of plow parts if something breaks.
Daddy Cornstar I just found out you and momma Cornstar are going to be grandparents again!!! Congratulations! I so enjoy all of your family’s videos. Such a wonderful family you are❤
I have been impressed with the care you take when preparing the grave, covering it and coming back later to make sure it looks peaceful. You and your family take pride in a task well done.
Also, looking forward to your second grand!!! So exciting!
I can only imagine if even half of the population worked as hard as you do Daddy Corn Star, how much more better off and productive we would be as a whole.
You hit the nail on the head, most if not all people have no idea what anything takes to get done, digging a grave, putting food on the table, fixing or building anything, very few people understand the cost and effort involved.
Congratulations DC & MC on the new family addition!
My husband had a Bug shield to do that.
Have a great week.
Take care
DC You make my day when your videos come out. So glad you and Momma Cornstar took to this TH-cam thing,.... You and Momma Cornstar have raised 3 wonderful children and now are being blessed with the next generation to guide into wonderful caring Cornstars.
I think it’s true in most businesses, a lot of the people don’t know or understand how much time and money it takes to do a job, especially one that is done with skill and finesse! One that you can be proud to put your name on!! Take care!!
I'm glad that they understood after you explained. Because the price of everything you need to do the jobs is crazy priced. It's sad that you gotta have insurance to do that but in the world we live in I understand.
My son and I mowed a 4 acre cemetery with 1,000 headstones. Every year I would collect outdated flowers and flowers that were blown away from stones. We did this the last week of March for 5 years and would start mowing the first week of April. This year we had a lady write a long letter to the trustee and state she was going to prosecute me for picking up her silk poinsettias the last week of March and throwing them away. I didn't even bat an eye, I told them I quit. People do not understand how much effort goes into keeping a cemetery clean and manicured. Hats off to you.
DC - You are so kind to explain the costs of digging a grave to that person.
Daddy corn star you ate one of my favorite people on this page. You are also one of the most trustworthy and fair. Never feel bad about what you are charging.
He "ate" :)
Oh no!! 😱 Who did DC eat?
I am glad for people like you doing jobs that need done, in all weather! Makes the world work more smoothly.
You are an honest, hard working man and you do not need to explain your work or prices to anyone. It was gracious of you to talk to the people who accused you of charging too much. Hopefully you educated them but as they say you can't fix stupid. But seriously you and the family examplify honest hard work in every video. Keep up the good work DC!!
I will leave a comment, I totally enjoyed your video, you and your family are very special people you all have a positive attitude and that’s like a breath of fresh air, your explaining of the cost of a grave was excellent and the people walked away with well informed information, hope I said that right lol. I’ve been a viewer of you families for a while now starting out with Cole, what a great kid, all your kids are great ,I know you and your wife Mama Cornstar are very proud how could you not be. The transformation of things around the farm and the addition of your grandson and soon to be another is wonderful and a true blessing. All the best to you all and just keep being you, and letting us into your loving world, gives us a chance to see how things could be if.
Love your straight shooting, down to earth, common sense, word smithy verbiage…no I’m not being sarcastic. I’m an 80 year old retired member of the judiciary who has spent many years listening to testimony of hundreds of people. Some of them very articulate and some not so much. You, fall in the category in between with a large dose of humor which I find both endearing and hilarious. I’ve been watching you and your lovely, expanding family for years. You’ve entertained me and kept me coming back for more. You mentioned your mother and I wish to say she and your father did a fine job raising a son with the good character you display every day. Still smiling from PA. ❤️🇺🇸
Daddy Cornstar you are the most honest person. People can be very disrespectful because they don’t know any better. The old saying , If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all” applies to these people but that would go right over their heads. You handled educating them very well. I don’t know if I could handle as well as you did. Congrats on the new addition to the family. Love and blessings to you all.
I agree cost money to do anything nowadays not like the old days when you had two guys dig a grave people are curious the older, we get the curious part of us gets the best of us. Thank you daddy corn star for helping us out explaining.
We usually watch all our TH-cam content from our smart TV, so we can’t make comments from there. But know that we absolutely enjoy all your videos and really appreciate you letting us ‘do’ farming with you!! Keep up the great work - we’re BIG fans🎉🎉🎉!!
Sorry, DCS didn’t realize how much was involved in grave digging🕊️I sure appreciate all your work‼️ Plus thank you and your family for sharing your lives❤God Bless✨
I really enjoy watching you and your family on the different channels. I do follow all of them and actually watching the announcement of your second grandchild on the way! Congratulations!
May God Bless you and yours and keep putting out the videos. You guys crack me up and also inspire me. Thank you!
Congratulations on your 2nd grand baby. Just saw Cole and Nave’s announcement. So happy for you and your whole family.
I hope you asked the people who questioned your rates what their job was and did they get paid for it or did they do it for free.
I'm glad you were able to educate them as to how much is involved with not just your job but anything that might be similar.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Wishing you and your family the best.
I remember as a boy, helping my dad and another man dig a grave by hand in red clay and rocks. I don't care what you charge. It's a bargain. A pick and a shovel is no fun.
DC, you are a patient man. Some days it’s harder than others to explain things to people that spout off without knowing what they’re talking about. Saw Nave’s video, congrats to you and MC for grand baby #2! I’ll bet you were extremely surprised! 😂
People have a hard time empathizing with any for profit business, especially when it’s selling a needed service. They always undervalue your labor and many times they can have an unrealistic expectation of service for what they’re paying. I try to explain as much as I can, I like the way Cole does his profit/loss breakdown videos as a way to explain just how much money a business can go through as still not make anything.
Always fun spending time with Daddy Cornstar. Plus a fashion show. ❤
The motion graphics that Summer added for the Daddy Cornstar Fashion Show segment was hilarious. Nice job, Summer!!!
I've been watching your family's channels for about 4 years. I really enjoy your videos as I'm disabled and can't work anymore. May I ask what it costs to have a grave dug? Watching your video today made me curious lol thank you for all the entertainment I get from watching you and your family. May God bless you all I keep you all in my prayers.
Congratulations on being a grandfather again! You and Mama Cornstar are going to have a full house of love and joy!!!!!
Congratulations grandpa. I just saw Neva and calls video. I’m so happy for you all. You’re an amazing person, you always give me a good laugh.
“Can’t ya dig the hole with a skid loader?” 😆
I would imagine the couple complaining work a hourly job and don't understand what it takes to operate a business and keep it going. If they come back again just hand them a shovel. God Bless your growing family.
Congratulations 🎉🎉DC and GC on another generation Eddy needed a sibling 🙏🥰💕
What a hard working Daddy.
We love you and your family you are not changing to much to dig a grave people Don't realize what's involved to do that thank you for your service ❤️
Your family works so hard. Respect to you all. Farmers and truckers are the backbone in this world. I use to work 16 hrs a day spraying pig manure on fields when I lived in Iowa. O an congratulations on the soon to be grandbaby
Bless you JD because I don’t think you would charge more than is reasonable for your work!
Congratulations DC and Mama Cornstar on granbaby #2 there such a blessing from God.
Need to get some of them shorts for my hubs.
Happy fall yall!
You must be doing a great job at the cemetery. People are dying to get in!
You and your boys do a fantastic job digging, carrying away the dirt so the site is clean for the funeral. Then coming back to cover the grave and making the grass as neat around the grave. Then coming back to top off before reseeding. Plus moving monuments if it is necessary. Alot of trips but you do it right. Worth the money!
Awesome video! Some people have no clue what is required to do certain jobs. You handled it perfectly.
Skilled labor ain't cheap, and cheap labor ain't skilled.
Thanks for doing this videos. It’s really nice seeing people around my age on TH-cam. Congrats to you and MC from Argentina!
Another great video, and I always look forward to them. Thanks DC!
Thanks DC! Love the videos. You guys are a great family team.
So glad you can help families understand that you are providing an important service for those that have lost loved ones. With your busyness you take time to help others and that’s good business. B~}
I'm glad you broke down the details in digging a grave, it's like running any other business, with expenses, the bills just don't go away.
You are the best person to explain the cost breakdown on the Gravedighing. Thank you DC.
They are lucky to have your family doing the job, y'all really care about others!❤😊
It was a good thing that you answered their questions and nicely. We are all guilty of not understanding why things cost so much.
Love all of your vidoe's DC. Congrats on the new baby!!
Thanks DC, God bless your family!!
We love your videos you all work so hard!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us Did a wonderful job explaining the costs 😊
DC don't sweat it. Happens all the time where folks who are completely ignorant about a topic are authorities about it.
Love is what it’s all about! Sending you as much love as your heart can hold Christie!❤❤❤❤
You are a good guy daddy cornstar...You are honest & have humor
❤😂happy to be here
You handled it well. We dig graves as little different. Use a small dump truck. And a mini excavator. Leave the dirt next to the grave as far away as we can reach. Cover it with some grass carpet. Haul the extra away. Re filling is just push it back in with the same mini excavator. Save's all that equipment and a semi. Also fuel isn't cheap anymore.
Thank you for sharing the cost behind what you and family are doing. Blessings and truth… 😊
Thank you, Daddy! Rock On!!! Keep doing you. You're great
You are so entertaining! 🙏🏻❤️
Good job dear pop keep up the good work I learned a long time ago when somebody's watching you work it always looks easy it's when they got to do the work and turns hard God bless enjoy the rest of your week
I love watching you and Cole!! I have to tell you that my uncle does the grave digging in my home town of Russell KS and the surrounding area…. He has done it for all of my life and he even has the nick name the “Grave Digger”!! The stories that he tells about the all of the graves that he dug over the years are very funny!! He moved up form a backhoe to a mini- excavator, he says that was the best move ever for digging…. Thanks again for the videos!!!
You handled it very well at the cemetery with the family, you're a kind and generous man as we can all tell by the videos you have put out with the family. Love goes a long way my friend.
Love you Daddy Cornstar, you're great of fresh air:)
I love how you guys do lots of different things, as well as taking such good care of your farm and the equipment! You are a great example!
You are as honest as the day is long! You handled those cheapskate beautifully.
I think you do a wonderful job, thank you, God bless you and your family ❤
Love learning everything about you and your family. I am a 75 year old Chicago grandmother that loves learning about farm life. Thank you for all that you do.
what a good man you are keep the videos coming
Some of us do not know you personally- just your posts and your family posts - honest people. AMERICA'S finest!
I have a small parish church and cemetery about 12 miles south of me where the members of the congregation dig the graves by hand. The older guys are dying off and younger ones are off to larger towns for work and it’s getting very difficult to round up enough people to do the job. You know it’s a farming community because they can drop everything and go when the need arises.
It’s always a good day when Daddy Cornstar posts a vid
I always enjoy your stories, thanks for sharing
Thank you corn star dad for your videos.
Hope your crop harvest does well..
You handled that very well explaining everything a lot of people never think of what all it entails
Good answer. I understand the question and hope they learned something today, especially new found respect and thanks for you and the family doing the work few would do. My grandfather dug all the graves for small cemetery for over 50 years by hand. He also was caretaker of the grounds too. Take care.
God bless you
Your hard work making sure people loved ones get to heaven
You're a saint if we only had more people like you this world would be an absolute amazing place to live
You rock daddy cornstar
Thank you go much for taking care of our loved ones in our sad times when we lose someone close to
God bless you and your amazing family
