Exhumator

There are many reasons why a dead body might need an exhumation: police investigations, transfer to another country, cemetery renovations or an administrative expiration of the grave. In all these cases Heinz is there to assist. He treats bodily remains with care and respect, whispering to the dead as if they were still alive. Carrying out this traditionally hidden work for 40 years, Heinz has become sensitive to not only the care of the bones, but the spirit and energy that lingers around them.
