Jimmy Kickham always said that he would dig his own grave when he hit 90 years old so with his birthday around the corner it just seemed the logical thing to do.
The construction worker, who is from Souris West in Canada, has been digging his whole life and took his digger to the cemetery of St Alexis church last week to complete the job.
Far from a novice, the 89-year-old owned his own construction company for more than half a century and has also dug dozens of graves.

‘They’ll know it’s already done for me so they wont have to worry. Just a matter of taking the top off off, opening it up, and that’s it,’ he added.
‘The grandchildren will know that their grandfather dug his own grave with his own backhoe at the age of 90. So that’ll be something for them to carry around, won’t it?’
