"But we have buried all that our fathers did." [From The Independent.]
Is the "all that" an object of "have buried" and the relative pronoun "that" is implied in this sentence (But we have buried all that (that) our fathers did.)?
Thank you.

All is a pronoun, the direct object. That is a relative pronoun, introducing the dependent relative clause.
