It has become common practice for family members to fill the graves of the deceased at black people's funerals. A family member would hold a shovel full of dirt. Family members would then grab handfuls of the earth and ceremoniously throw it in the deceased's grave.

Male family members, friends and colleagues afterwards take turns to fill the grave by shovelling twice before passing the shovel among each other. Watch the inspiring video here:
