Well……That’s a culture shock: Swiss efficiency on a whole new level.

See my other channel.    / @philipandlaurareed5731   as an american moving to switzerland you've got to get used to a few cultural differences like being constantly congratulated for the simple act of eating or speedos we did away with speedos like 30 years ago and it was the best decision that we ever made you guys should seriously uh get with the times that's not a stop it get some help but anyways there are differences but uh for the most part it's it's nothing too crazy and then every once in a while you stumble upon something that is just really freaking weird so the other day i was out in the swiss countryside helping move this wood pile and uh as we got to the bottom i realized that it was sitting on like a large stone it kind of looked like a paver stone but then afterwards as i was sweeping up the wood debris i realized there were some engravings on the stone i looked a little bit closer it's a gravestone what's a gravestone doing under a wood pile what i was told is that when you're buried in switzerland it's only temporary after the graveyard fills up they simply just dig up the old graves to make room for the new ones the gravestones are returned to the family and that's that yeah you see i'm an american and in america that's not normal when we bury somebody it's meant to be like permanent like we have this whole rest in peace or like the final resting place mentality and we're pretty good at making it permanent we don't just like bury somebody no first we put them in like a giant coffin and then that coffin doesn't just go in the ground it goes in a giant concrete vault and then that vault goes in the ground and when we put up the gravestone and cover in dirt that's meant to be it for us it's not just like a place where somebody's buried it's also meant to be like a permanent memorial for that person for instance in the u.s there's many graveyards that you can visit and see the graves of those that fought and died in the revolutionary war or in my case i can find many of the graves of my ancestors going back all the way to when they moved to america the idea that like a grave has like an expiration date is crazy to us i mean how does this even work like is there a set period of time that you get in your grave and then like you're just kicked out and when you're kicked out how does that work i mean like the human body decomposes relatively quickly but like what if there's something left they like sift through that dirt somehow to make sure they get everything out or am i gonna like go to a funeral and look down and see like the last guy's hip replacement in the dirt like i got some questions so i had to look into it and uh here's what i've come up with as it turns out every canton and even many graveyards handle their burials differently making this pretty complicated but uh it is true in the vast majority of cases graves are temporary the plots are dug up and reused over and over again although it's not quite like it sounds bodies aren't just like given a certain number of years and then after the time is up dug up from the ground instead the idea is that when the grave is reused everything has decomposed there's nothing left at all now the time this takes depends a lot on the climate and the soil type but generally it's about 20 years so for most places in switzerland 20 years is the minimum instead of using an elaborate coffin like in the us instead a much simpler pine casket is used and of course all clothing has to be biodegradable after 20 years or so the gravesite is removed the gravestone is returned to the family if they would like it and then generally grass is planted over the area some graveyards will immediately start using this area for full body grades but more often only the top layer of soil is removed leaving the graves underneath untouched the area is then used for urns urns of course are also temporary they get about 10 years after this time is up then the area will be reused for full body burials as an american it's pretty hard for me to wrap my mind around this i'm not really sure what's holding me up i mean i don't know if it's the moving the gravestone or like the actual digging up the ground but the digging up the ground part isn't i mean that's strange it's basically just like a really long natural cremation and most people are being cremated now anyways the us is over 50 cremation and switzerland's well over 80 and like the u.s the family can choose what they would like to do with the ashes so oftentimes they're scattered in the alps or
