It is a tradition in my church and my family to dig graves for loved ones with shovels by hand as an act of service. A grave digging is a beautiful thing. People gather around, we take turns passing shovels, passing whisky, telling stories and memories of the deceased. It's cathartic and such a beautiful tradition. I didn't think it was weird until I was about 15, I thought everyone did that at their church. So I wrote a song about it with a killer cello feature.
