Novice gravedigger
Buried your first body.
Before burying corpses, use the autopsy table to extract useful crafting materials such as blood, fat, and bone. Make sure to prepare a grave plot with a headstone to boost your graveyard rating.
Advanced gravedigger
Buried 10 bodies.
Maintain incoming corpse quality by removing fat and blood to reduce red skulls. Place gravestones and stone fences on each burial site to steadily raise your overall cemetery score.
Shovel master
Buried 50 bodies.

Sashimi master
Made 30 slices. You've got the perfect size slice pretty much down.
