About event
What does the job of a gravedigger entail? Adam Vokáč, gravedigger and administrator of the Meadow Cemetery in Đáblice, will introduce the participants to this profession shrouded in myths. Today's gravedigger not only has to master the theory, have good physics and not be afraid of working in the fresh air in any weather, but he has to manage much more. During the practical part of the workshop, participants will try digging a grave and, if all goes well, lowering a coffin. Adam Vokáč is ready to answer all curious questions about the topic of burial in the Czech Republic and in the world.
Meet at 2 p.m. at the main gate of the cemetery, Ďáblická 564/2a, tram and bus stop Sídliště Ďáblice. Participation is subject to signing an informed consent /a>. Sturdy ankle shoes and sports clothing are recommended (depending on the weather), all tools and equipment will be rented on site.
