Two brothers from Slovakia won a grave-digging competition at an international exhibition of funeral, burial and cremation services on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ladislav and Csaba Skladan, aged 43 and 41 respectively, dug a grave 1.5 meters deep, two meters long and 90 centimeters wide in 54 minutes in the western Slovak town of Trencin, beating 10 other two-member teams from Slovakia, Poland and Hungary as a small audience cheered loudly.<\/p>\n

Their grave was also the neatest, a five-member jury agreed.<\/p>\n

“We want to show and appreciate the hard work of grave diggers,” said Ladislav Striz, who established the contest last year.<\/p>\n

“Most Slovak graveyards are so crowded and spaces between graves so narrow that we need human diggers instead of machines,” he said. “They work hard, come rain, come snow.”<\/p>\n

“I am happy we won, it’s a satisfaction after fifteen years in this job,” Csaba Skladan said.<\/p>\n

“I had to focus on speed today but usually, when the weather is nice and I can chat with my brother, it’s a dream job,” added Ladislav Skladan.<\/p>\n
