What's the displacement for a regular casket?
===============================
It's not the casket it's the vault that takes up the room. I hear that takes up 1/3 of the space thus leaving 2/3 of the dirt.

==========
They've tried digging the hole deeper so they could get all of the dirt back into the hole but it didn't work.

I see. Here I go, learned something...
**********
I think I stated it wrong. If the vault took up one-third of the space it would then take 2/3 of the dirt to fill the hole thereby leaving 1/3 of the dirt left over.

You would be amazed at the their audacity and indigence when I tell them that yes, the dirt is free---the hauling at $75 an hour is not. Most just don't get it.
The other thing that is not "free" is loading at $2 a yard--this gets them ticked off too when they show up with their neighbor's borrowed truck.

True -->> but isn't it cheeper to pay for the truck and the loading than it is to pay for the truck dirt and loading?
==========~~~~~~~~~~~~:::::::::::::::::::
What is wrong with it? It cost to much to haul.

Why would it cost more to hall than other dirt?

No dirt can leave the township.

::::::::::::::::::::
An interesting situation I've never encountered before.
~~~~~~~~~~
I was telling my brother the other nite maybe I ought to buy some cheep hill side and holler
acreage close by for fill dirt and when I get it graded off sell the improved property for home sites.
======
Parts of 3 of the hills of my neighborhood are in our local K. Mart Lowes and Wall Mart parking lots.
One of the hills is a little over a mile down the road from me another is less than a mile down the road and the 3Rd one is from the big hill across the road in front of my place.

Top soil here sells for ~$25.00 per yard, plus delivery.
==========
Then I'd say the 30 yards I got for $0.oo per yard with free delivery and loading was a good deal.
