Mr. Robert is a grave digger who shares his knowledge and experience on social media. He often answers difficult questions related to the last farewell that internet users ask him in an honest, objective, professional and above all sensitive way.
He’s a grave digger who posts videos on TikTok. “This job doesn’t change the way you approach death”
On TikTok, where he is followed by almost 240 thousand people, he often addresses even extremely difficult topics. – I have received all kinds of cases of deceased people. Some passed away naturally, others passed away in a different way. Some passed away at home, others passed away somewhere in the bushes, third passed away somewhere in abandoned buildings, still others passed away on the street in broad daylight – he said in one of the recordings. Thanks to the films he publishes, he dispels doubts and deals with harmful myths about his work, preparing the deceased for burial and himself. – This work does not change the approach to death, but to life – he revealed in an interview with Onet. – I am not afraid of death. Why be afraid of something that is inevitable anyway? – he added.
What are the duties of a gravedigger? Not everyone knows about this
The man also revealed that many people have no idea how the industry in which he works works. – Our work is to say goodbye to each person with dignity and respect – he explained. His duties include, among others: preparing the body for burial. When there is such a need or wish, paints the deceased’s nails, styles their hair or does make-up. The idea is to look as good as he did when he was alive when he says goodbye. As much as possible.
What can you put in a dead person’s coffin? “I’ve seen it all”
Mr. Robert revealed what unusual things he has put in a coffin. “I’ve probably seen everything in this matter,” he said. It turns out that the only limitation here is the size of the objects, although he even had a situation where he buried the deceased with a guitar. Photos, books, mementos, cigarettes or phones are also common.
What happens to the body during cremation? “It’s not like in the movies”
he also took up the topic of cremation, where it looks slightly different. There must be no metal objects in the coffin, as this may cause an explosion. However, in this case too, the deceased is first properly prepared, and then a farewell takes place in which the family takes part. It can be organized with or without showing the deceased, as the decision rests with the relatives. For Catholics, the priest conducts a short ceremony, and then the coffin is removed and placed into the cremation oven. Loved ones can participate in it, although they cannot actually see what is happening inside. – It’s not like in the movies, there are no flames. Let’s not believe in all the nonsense that the Internet tells us, he revealed. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
