Burying Recommendations
Always check all county codes before burying for legalityBefore digging push down with your shovel in a square shape the size width and length hole you will be digging. This will allow you to try to remove the grass and some top soil intact for placement back over the graveUsing the shovel, pry up the grass and topsoil in sections and place on side for reinsertion laterDig a hole 3 feet deep with enough room to fit the casket on for width and depthPlace the casket in the hole and fill dirt around the casket and above the casket, pausing for the next step when you have about 1 inch of dirt on top of the casketSprinkle the soil at this point with lime to prevent other animals from scavenging your grave siteFill the rest of the way with dirt, compacting it as you goAt the top, place your grass and topsoil pieces back down. Lightly water your grass in that area for the next few days (intensity of watering depends on season and breed of grass) to try to reduce the shock of uprooting and give it a better chance of taking hold again
