CRAFTS — 198/262 — Gravediggers

The gravedigger profession took care of graves and their surroundings and was hereditary. The beginnings of the professionalisation of this occupation was associated with the introduction of Christian cemeteries. The gravedigger lived in a wooden hut, right in the cemetery, next to the main entrance and took care of the running of the entire cemetery. He performed his work not only in the village, where he lived, but also visited surrounding villages. He was also responsible for exhuming human remains and placing bones in the ossuary, thus ensuring enough space in the cemetery. A proper burial was far from affordable for many townspeople. In some places, the deceased poor were cared for by so-called ‘grave people’, who carried them to mass graves in cemeteries. The gravedigger was also not allowed to be present at the funerals of those deemed dishonourable in the eyes of the church, such as suicides or delinquents, for whom denial of burial represented the church’s ultimate punishment for breaking its laws. Gravediggers belonged among the undesirables on the margins of society, the only one who came into contact with them was the parish priest.

TRIVIA

— Grave digging and management of burial grounds were often tied to ecclesiastical office. In many Christian communities, such duties fell to the sexton, who oversaw the churchyard, maintained graves, and arranged burials. In earlier times, these and similar functions were carried out by the fossor (from Latin fodere, "to dig"), in the early Christian cemeteries and catacombs, where such individuals were often counted among the lower ranks of clergy. Their responsibilities often extended beyond excavation to also include the preparation of burial spaces, supervision of cemetery use, and in some cases, involvement in the decoration of tombs. Burial practices were also subject to both customs and regulations. This includes the British custom of digging graves to a depth of six feet, which goes back to at least the 16th century and is believed to have been a precaution against plague.
