Resurrected!

.
Folk in County Durham can rest easy (no pun intended) now that the local college have reinstated a course in grave digging after burying it four years ago (I couldn’t resist that one!).

Students are taught soil types, coffin sizes, grave preparation, care and maintenance and the various health and safety issues involved. Even the local Co-op has helped out by donating a coffin.

More than thirty people, including some already working for local authorities, have enrolled on the four-day course.

I wish them well. Grave digging may not be the most exciting job in the world but it is a vital one.
