You are one of the cleanest farmers. Vacuuming equipment. Bathing dogs, organizing the cemetery correctly. A car cleaned works better so does equipment, it last longer, like your old formal tractor, remember your papa equipment.
It sounds like whoever was laying out the plans for the cemetery isn't real good with math and spatial relations ! 🤔
Maybe you need to draw them out a little map and put dimensions of the equipment needed to dig graves.
What's the only other option, digging the grave sideways with a mini excavator ?
This guy never heard of shovels
Yes a mini excavator and digging sideways is a great alternative to the big backhoe. Also a headstone lifting rig helps a lot. The two combined will usually solve most problems.
HELLO FROM WAVERLY IA. Love the videos. Keep ‘em comin! Just wish they were longer. I also farm and dug graves at a local cemetery also. We got to a point we would have to move stones to get around. Get heated blankets for the ground.
I am always amazed that you dig through the frozen ground to do burials in the winter. Here on the east coast of Canada, we do very few burials from January until April. How do you even know where the plots are with the flat stones under four feet of snow. The funeral homes keep the remains stored until April/May.
That's crazy! How do they have space for all those people?
Same thing here in northern maine...course I'm only 2 miles from the border so maybe it's just southern NB lol
LoL, I am actually specifically from NB as well. Until I typed this, I hadn’t thought about the size of facility required to store these remains. Now I am curious. I will find out.
In my little NH town there are no burials once the ground is frozen and/or there is snow cover. In the active parts of the cemetery there is an alleyway between the pairs of rows of graves for access by equipment. It's been some years since we had to dig by hand for a full burial.
In Sweden they heat the ground says my brother in law, Hellasgården manages the diocese Cathedral in Upp9😊 (Uppsala domkyrkan) grave yard.
We bought a mini excavator for our township cemetery just because of the same problems. It’s expensive yes but definitely helped out a bunch. The backhoe just became way too cumbersome.
Mini excavators are really the way to go digging graves..
I had no idea MC was a streetwalker. 😜 Thanks for cleaning up the environment though, for real.❤️
Yes another great video from daddy cornstar keep them coming dc
Good video !! Always good to see you. I worked at a cemetery for 44 years I was just wondering if you ever thought of putting a piece of plywood down next to the grave for your spoils make it a lot easier to clean up and did you ever consider a breaker for your skid steer to use on the frost in the winter works good 👍👍.
Good to see you Grandpa Cornstar. I hope you guys get the cemetery figured out. I have noticed here in KY they are all full almost as well.
Noticed in a local graveyard that they’re now putting headstones back to back and 9 foot to a 4 ft footpath and 9 feet to the next set of headstones . They use a mini digger to dig the graves . Also building 6 -7 ft high stone walls in a separate area with rows of small vaults for cremation urns .
Vault guys can build over those stones. I dug graves here for the last 20 years. 9 foot is plenty for vaults, and very good for digging with the mini excavator..
We got the new part of graveyard where we cemented a ribbon. So for mowing, setting grave stones, digging.. it’s set. The width is set.
Your beans look fantastic.
I was really surprised how deep it was dry when you dug that hole with the tractor. I thought you were doing well in the rain department.
I hope you didn't get Ellie's dog stink on the steering wheel of Cooper's truck ! 😉😂
I admire how much care and dignity you dedicate to digging graves. I am sure the families appreciate the respect you so for their loved one. ❤
Design before function 🙄
Always good to do like you suggested DC, have a talk and plan for the best solution for everyone.
Thanks for farming for us. Have a good evening.
Yes on keeping it clean!
We’ve always know you were a softy but talking about giving Ellie a shower proved it! Growing up without a Dad after age 4 due to a car accident you make me realize what I missed out on.
Bless you dcricket1! May you meet with all the love you need.
@@jonjames7328 Thank you so much! What a precious comment. God did bless me with a husband who’s my soulmate and I’m so grateful for him. I hope you have a blessed day!
I see the problem at the cemetery. Are all the plots laid out and marked? I assume you have a probe rod? Those sure come in handy. I'm the trustee and on the board of our old family cemetery, and we've all been ending up there since the 1820s. We have a different problem. All the old families have moved away or died out, and they have their funerals and nobody is buying new lots. We are only 8 aces and we have a lot of unsold and unused lots left, and we even have 4 acres to the South that we lease to a farmer, and that' lack of activity really hurts the money we get out of our trust fund. I am happy to know that you guys take care of a couple of them. It takes a special kind of person to so that work. I had to go to our cemetery early after my mom died at age 95 and mark where the place for the back hoe to dig. Mom had it set up in her estate that some was to go to the cemetery association, and she preferred people making donations to our cemetery instead of sending any flowers. Those donations were a big help to us as our upkeep and lawn budget has normally been close to 10k/year. I suppose it's like President Clinton quipped one time, being President was like running a cemetery: You're over everybody but nobody is listening.
I've seen propane hoods burning overnight in the winter too thaw the frost.
New. Set up wagon, should help, for efficiency. Nice. Stay cool up there on wagons.
You do good work 😄. Love your videos ❤
It's a good thing Cole didn't knock you off the top of the tanks. You might have had to cut his monthly allowance !
Have you ever considered backing onto the trailer to help protect the glass? Also our city has purchased a mini excavator to use in our cemetery. It makes life easier on the guys digging graves.
They do have ballistic glass for your skid steer. Hope you can figure out a rock block for your window!
Having a hard time sleeping and was thinking about this video from the other day. I know the easiest solution would be to make sure the plots are spaced correctly. I have no experience with grave digging, machinest by trade. I was at a stop light few weeks back, there was this guy using a machine to vacuum the dirt out of a hole. Think its called hydro excavation? Would that work in the grave yard? The capital purchase would alot but maybe help get into tight spaces? Keep up the great work. Cheers from Wisconsin.
The glass on my track loader is bullet proof ( pretty much ). Have to get that done if you get a forestry mulcher ( _I have a Battle Axe_ ).
Maybe look into getting the forestry mulcher glass for your machine?
Mine founded groundhog to roll in last week. Resulted in her having a nice bath in Dawn dish soap
Great job again. Very enjoyable video. God Bless
I'm 81 yrs old and when I was in my early teens back on the farm, we planted beans every three years after corn just for the nitrogen and plowed them under, there was hardly any market for them.
That was interesting to know. Thank you sir!
Raise your prices for digging graves for the inconvenience You may have to buy a mini excavator.
Beans, beans, the magical fruit!!!
I’m no farmer but man that looks goooood
Yum keep spraying are food supply, I am sure it's safe the chemical supply company guarantees safe for the family. From my family to yours.
Use string lines for the graves. Are you corner or center pin? I have seen stuff go in in a lot tighter spaces. If Wilbert is your vault co they can work with a single inch.
Also its not called an emergency break anymore, it's called a parking break now days because the break is not designed to help you say stop in an emergency it's designed for when your park to help keep your vehicle from moving.
Another entertaining video DC. You make farming fun and informative!
I know in Maine and new Hampshire the caskets have to stay in a wall vault until the ground thaws.
I honor the respect you have for the deceased loved ones keep it please! Far too many see graveyards/cemeteries as nothing but cash cows. I respect your mentality sir 👍🏻
I love it when Daddy Corn Star has a video on just makes me so happy❤, Ellie you need a bath with DC 😅
Awww Ellie!! Ohh I do hate when they roll in something dead! 😆
Good evening DC!
Please keep doing Daddy cornstar I enjoy your post very much I wish 0:53 Nave would do the same we miss her
Good show today D.C. ! 👍
At the cemetery where my parents are buried, they won't allow stone markers. Only bronze markers are allowed, and they must be flush mounted. A lot easier to dig graves, and mow grass. And the dirt and sod from the grave is always put into a dump truck and removed prior to the funeral so it is not litering the ground. After the burial the dirt and sod is replaced. During the winter or in inclement weather there is a chapel on the cemetery grounds to accommodate the family. A first class operation all the way.
Scythe would make it way easier to cut with headstones
It's pick and shovel time. You may want to have a ladder too unless you're staying down there to keep the future occupant company.
Looks like a mini excavator should be the replacement for the backhoe
Is there a reason a tarp wasn't put down first to make for easier cleanup
Its nice to see an active cemetery because most of them are dead.😂
Just need right equipment, your do know you can "heat" ground in winter time ?
Sounds like BobCat or John Deere need to design a grave digging machine that will straddle the gravestones like a Cole's crop sprayer straddles the corn stalks and dig the grave like your winter machine does...just a thought.
When I was an apprentice at the funeral home 50 years ago my boss would volunteer me to dig graves by hand when they couldn’t get the machine in.
Is a big deal to roll the over back wards and dig it. Better then me as kid digging them by hand for $20 bucks ,when stones we're on both ends
Sounds like you dug yourself into a predicament there.
I have family interred at a veterans cemetery. The graves are practically on top of each, no room between them. Head stone is only approximately 6 1/2 ft between head stone and the end of where the feet should be. I have wondered if the coffins are placed long wise to ensure the coffin will fit. Our veteran cemeteries are becoming over crowded with the honored dead!
Back in the day when you dig a grave you used a shovel. Lol
Didn't have machines.
Some still do that in rural areas.
How, the old fashioned way: Shovel
I was wondering why you dig graves in the winter time, here in upstate New York they wait till spring to do it
Use the space between the head stones for the cremation urns.
Thank you DC! God bless your family! Don’t tell Cole, your videos are better than his! Lol
We have 4 graves in each 8ft x 21ft lot with a 4ft walk way around each lot. But since the wife and I took over out local cemetery, I am find out that people are buried in walk ways. There was markers to find where the rows are.
Great video
We understand Daddy Cornstar, keeping up with Cole you have to keep tabs on him and forget the Camera.
The problem is that technology is moving so fast that you have trouble adapting from old to new. Hope you have good crops this year
I wish farming could be done without spray
It can. It's called ORGANIC farming.
Oh yeah, a DC Video!
Why are you guys using JCBs?
Those damn “fly by wire” pieces of crap are so shaky that it’ll make a veteran operator look like he just got into a skidder yesterday!
I’ll take a 20 year old Bobcat over a brand new JCB any day of the week.
Pretty sure you can get a Lexan Windshield, they use them when running forestry mulcher’s
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎
I would love to hear this guy do a Matt foley (Chris Farley) motivational speech. He could make millions. Hats off to him for doing a good job. Thank you.
Mr. Cornstar. I dig graves for a living. And would be happy help out as much as I can. There’s always a way to dig a grave and always a way a vault guy can set up. Need some tips just let me know. Keep up the good work
Those 9 foot spaces are good for cremations. Ask them how you are supposed to dig the graves with the vaults. The math just doesn’t work.
It fits just fine.
Ive head about the cemetary, its famous. People are just DIEING to get in there......
great video dc
Your reverence for digging graves and your 'on screen' interactions with your family says a lot about your quality of character. I'm sure there are some behind the scenes things that happen that we never hear about. I'm 65 years old, my father died 52 years ago. Your children are lucky to have you and you are lucky to have them and your wonderful wife. Thanks for allowing us into your world, it helps restore my faith in families.
Cemeteries are a waste of land: it's all about our egos. We think that we're so important that people will want to know that we lived, died, and were buried somewhere. Truth be told, there are millions of people on this planet and almost no one cares about when you were born or died or, in most cases, if you even lived. That fancy coffin and vault and headstone are just expensive nonsense.
if you don't have enough space here, see what cemeteries look like, e.g. in Poland compared to what is in Poland, here you have a lot of space in Poland between the graves you have a maximum of about 39 inches of space often people are buried in graves that already exist sometimes somewhere in the middle cemetery and grabbing there is no problem to remove the entire tombstone, dig up and bury another person from the family in the same grave and put a new tombstone with the names of all those buried in this place
i work for a professional cemetery service out of wisconsin. just pick up and move the stone you can put them back.
Can put window film on skid loader,reduces breakage. In cemetery have areas only for cremation sort of grid like between big sites
I have flipped a bobcat, I was working in a scrap yard loading loose pop cans into a compacter, one time my bucket caught the lip of the compactor and the whole thing flipped over. I was trapped in the cockpit of the bobcat until someone came with a fork truck to lift it and let me out!
Hi Daddy Cornstar - you just showed up on my feed. I watch you on Cole's channel!
They deal in square feet not in operating feet.
All they know is we have forty acres that should hold 2500 coffins that's what we want. Most cemeteries are going to cremations you can stack them on top of each other.
I imagine your problem is why more and more flush markers are used.
Never seen a cremation dug with power equipment
The biggest problem with cemetery's is people get buried instead of composted.
mini skid steer or mini excavator
To make a sheild for the jcb take peice of plexiglas and to pieces of angel iron bolt the angel to the jecb and the plexiglas to them perfect sheild
Every job has its boring times but it is still a valuable part of the job.
Things have to change or it's going back to the old shovel digging. That takes more time and men working making the cost of doing so much higher.
Keep it up daddy cornstar
Love the videos of y’all but can’t we get a sneak peek of baby boy 🩵😍💚
Yes,yes Cemetery . Thank you. (Naaman, Indiana)
sprayer truck base to go thru cemetary ;make a tour of new york cemetaries and their machinery?
Flat stones. No upright monuments.
@@annesmith6582 why wouldn't it? I've seen cemeteries all over the country with flat monuments.

Great video
Eventually, the entire face of the Earth will be covered with dead people lol
Make future headstones with hinges. Simple idea
PEOPLE AROUND HERE HAVE SWITCHED TO MINI EXCAVATORS BECAUSE OF ROOM IN OLDER CEMETERYS
Well you could bury them vertical and that way you can get more deceased per acre
You say "active cemetery." I commented: People lining up to get in! My husband said it's a wonder people say it's a dying industry! (Sorry. I'll show myself out!)
Might be worth looking at a 4ton or so excavator, take up less room
put a board down to put the dirt on. makes it easier to fill hole and less dirt on the lawn
