Are you serious? Besides, what's the displacement for a regular casket? How many burials would you need to fill up a dumptruck with dirt? What about people who opt for gravehills - then there's no extra soil left over.

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 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.

Over the past few years I have gotten calls from uninformed homeowners telling me they wanted me to go haul some "free fill dirt" that they saw advertised around town. You would be amazed at the their audacity and indignance 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.

you are 100% correct when I had my pond dug i could not give the dirt away. What is wrong with it? It cost to much to haul. It they build something here they get the dirt from next door.

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?

Why would it cost more to hall than other dirt?

Most of the farms in our township would never give up their dirt. Our elevation is pretty low and the ground water table is high, so between floods and ground water, dirt is about the price of gold around here - no such thing as free dirt. In fact, by township regulations, no dirt can leave the township - it has to be sold within.
