In the Hungarian town of Nyergesújfalu, an unusual competition took place on a public cemetery, where 19 two-person teams competed in grave digging. Organized by the Hungarian Association of Cemetery Maintainers and Managers, the event aimed to showcase the professionalism of the trade and reduce taboos around death. Participants used shovels and ropes to dig graves measuring exactly 1.6 meters deep, 2 meters long, and 0.8 meters wide. The winning team, Róbert Nagy and László Kiss, completed the task in 1 hour and 21 minutes and received a cash prize of 200,000 forints (approximately 550 euros). Nagy emphasized that speed was more important than aesthetics, noting the importance of precision in proper burials.
