"Casket Loader: Ford 2.5 powered by propane fuel, 435 heavy-duty Ford 5-speed, high-speed transmission that ties down an NP 205 transfer case and feeds onto a 1-ton GMC differential. Isuzu single front axle."
Does anyone else find it weird that the general custom is to end the graveside service with the coffin still above ground, most people leave, and only then do they lower it down? I've started just staying, so I've seen the "coffin loader" in action plenty of times. I use the quotes because I would think it would be called the vault loader instead.

Any casket loader races out there?
In Vienna there are cemetery workers that set off from their office each day on bikes, with brackets that hold a shovel against the bike frame.
I’ve done some searching but can’t find a photo.
