Where gravediggers compete in national grave digging competition

Contestants were judged on speed, grave neatness and whether they complied with the regulation size

In an attempt to increase respect for grave digging and attract more people to the job, BBC reports that dozens of the best gravediggers in Hungary competed in a unique grave digging competition.

The 36 gravediggers, paired in twos, were supplied with regulation-size shovels, rakes, axes and pickaxes to use in digging the best grave in the shortest amount of time.
