He only meets one of them--the other's gone on a beer run. They engage in a witty riddle-match, and for once Hamlet gets outsmarted. He's aghast at how casually the gravedigger treats the dead, which leads to a meditation on corpses.
The gravediggers:
Basically the grave diggers role, was for us to understand the cycle of life. No matter who you were when you were alive, it does not matter anymore when you are dead
they were wondering why Ophelia was getting a Christian burial when she committed suicide
The gravediggers are digging Ophelia's grave.
In Act V Scene 1
I think you must know the answer to this better than anyone here. Maybe it's because you find the gravediggers funny. Maybe it's because you like Hamlet's dirty jokes.

It's easier to talk about who is related to whom. Hamlet is Gertrude's son and Claudius's nephew and stepson, and of course the son of the Ghost. Polonius is Laertes's father and Ophelia's father. Everyone else is unrelated.
Hamlet stabbed him with the poisoned sword which Laertes had poisoned to kill Hamlet. He was, in Hamlet's phrase, "hoist with his own petard."
Hamlet's uncle Claudius killed Hamlet's father (called Hamlet Sr.). The ghost of Hamlet Sr. comes back from the dead and tells Hamlet Jr. so. Hamlet Jr. confirms this by re-enacting the murder as a play, which upsets Uncle Claudius.
The clowns, rather the gravediggers, talk like that because when they are talking Hamlet is not present. It is after one of the gravediggers has exited that Hamlet and Horatio enter.
Polonius and the gravediggers in Hamlet provide comic relief.
Shakespeare wrote the scene with the gravediggers into Hamlet to make a comic break and to give a part to the company's clown.
In Scene 1 of "Hamlet," the gravediggers are debating over whether Opheliaβs death was a suicide or an accident. They discuss the religious implications of her death and the practices surrounding her burial.
There isn't one. There are two gravediggers in Hamlet, but their job is to make graves, not take dead bodies out of them.
The gravediggers in Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" are characters who appear in Act 5, Scene 1. These gravediggers are a comic relief duo who provide dark humor and commentary on death and mortality while digging Ophelia's grave. Their banter adds a lighthearted touch to the otherwise tragic events unfolding in the play.
I think you must know the answer to this better than anyone here. Maybe it's because you find the gravediggers funny. Maybe it's because you like Hamlet's dirty jokes.
The Gravediggers was created in 1600.
