Rules of Thumb

From the very useful rules of thumb

Funerals

1294.  The less money people have, the more they spend on a funeral.

1222.  After you attend a funeral, expect to go into a cleaning and organizational frenzy when you get home.


Digging a Grave

1414.  The standard size for a human grave is 7'8" long by 3'2" wide by 6' deep, unless there is to be more than one person buried in it. Then add two feet of depth for each body.

1198.  When digging a grave by hand, haul away 17 wheelbarrow loads of dirt and pile the rest by the hole. You will have just the right amount to backfill.
