A hole in the ground would work too, but buckets have ambition.
means A bucket is an open-topped container, usually with a handle, made for carrying or holding water, sand, or whatever else you need to lug around.
from From Middle English 'buket,' likely from Anglo-Norman 'buket' or 'buquet,' a diminutive that may trace back to Old English 'buc' (a pitcher or belly-shaped vessel). The exact lineage is a bit murky, but the sense of a roundish thing for holding stuff runs through it all. The phrase 'kick the bucket' is a later, separate twist — the popular story links it to a hanging or a slaughtered pig suspended from a beam called a 'bucket,' but that explanation is uncertain folk lore as much as fact.
