+Hi everybody my name is Ken Farlund and you're listening to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
+Today we're in the graveyard doing our mandatory walk during lockdown.
+And I wanted to talk to you about how graves are dug in the Netherlands.
+Probably a gloomy show, but an interesting part of the geography of the Netherlands
+is that there is a distinct lack of anything but sand.
+So it's a river delta, the country, so everything is basically sand.
+And if you're digging a grave six feet down or the equivalent I guess two meters
+that you would have collapses in on itself.
+So what to do in the graveyard here is the first dig down about a meter,
+three foot, and then they put a frame around the outside
+of the grave and then inside of that there's another telescoping frame
+that descends down the next three meters, essentially showing the whole thing up.
+Then at the top they have a middle grid that goes over the grave
+to prevent people from falling into it.
+The sand itself is kept here on the path and presumably will be pushed back in
+when somebody is buried.
+We've been out a few grave funerals here.
+I'm here with my wife, say hi.
+Hi.
+We've been out a few funerals here, thankfully not too many.
+And I think traditionally, in Ireland traditionally you would put the person in the ground
+and then it's considered an honor for everybody to pick up some shovelful of soil
+and put it back into the grave.
+But obviously that's not going to work here.
+So I think they cover it with green and just leave the grave there
+and then the mourners go away and then the undertakers basically repeat the process here.
+But they have to tuck in the sand in around the casket to prevent subsidence.
+So I'll take a few pictures and put these in the show notes.
+Probably a morbid episode but not really it's part of life here.
+And also we live right beside the grave yard.
+So it's a nice place to come and have a quiet walk without disturbing anybody.
+Tune in tomorrow for another exciting episode of Hacker Public Radio.
