Ryan, another great photo. I love these photos of the working environments, you are so fortunate to have them. Here is my try at this one. I love all the children watching.

As you can imagine men wore clothes like these over a long period. I would suggest it could be any time from around the 1870's to 1890's.
Strange but I thought Funeral Directors buried the dead further away. Maybe they were running out of space at the Church.

     I had the same thought Jim!

I sincerely doubt it's for burying a body, more likely plumbing or digging a channel for a rock walkway.

I think Jim's remark was "Tongue in Cheek" humour and not meant to be taken seriously
