Leave no paper trail. Dig by shovel and not pickaxe.
LMAO too much ID tv here. If I wanted to bury a body in my yard, should I still call the hotline so I don't hit a gas line or something? I nominate this for stupid question of 2026

It seems to me there are two scenarios: you’re burying a body legally somehow (the question never specifies a human body, so it could be a dead pet, and even if it is human, maybe that person had specific wishes and you’ve done whatever paperwork that might take, idk) in which case the answer is surely yes. Or, you’re doing it illegally, presumably to dispose of the body, in which case I have to question why you’d bury it somewhere that, if found, will immediately implicate you as a suspect.

Only if you use an excavator. You’re probably not going to break it with a shovel.

A gas line, sure. But I’ve cut my internet line twice now

If you hit a line you’ll be found out. Call the hotline dig the hole then install something like a clothes drying rack after depositing the body.
Make sure to put sod around it or a concrete pad otherwise it will be obvious that the hole was too big for the pole.
