A video of elderly women with spades at a funeral has made rounds on social media.

In a TikTok video uploaded by @mmanewamatwin, the elderly women are at a funeral. As the people sang at the graveyard, men stood aside and the women took spades and started closing the person's grave.

This is regarded as a men's job in most cases but the women showed that they can also do it. It was not clear if it was related to culture or if they voluntarily just wanted to do it for the sake of doing it. Nonetheless, it was out of the usual and gathered some attention.
