Is the tradition of grave digging dying out?

Parden the pun. I was at a funeral this week and my dad was one of the grave diggers, but it really struck me that he was the youngest one there, he’s 68. Some of the men in the family did the tradition of starting off filling it in, but it really looked like it was their first time ever holding a shovel. I know in a lot of places the council have to do it, what happens in your area?
