Not with a shovel anymore, they use a Backhoe, but a neighbor has one and 5 or 6 men will show up and they come ready to get the job done. FREE. There is a burial fee for future maintenance. We must remember from the 30's to the 50's people felt they had more to worry about. They meant well, but it's like the field stone markers, things happen. Jack E.
