    This man is so cool. His respect for the dead, and also, for his subscribers is exemplary. I think it's called "class".

    It amazes me that so many people visit cemetery’s..like it’s an art museum. Great walk sir, and thank you for sharing this amazing final resting place.

      I have always enjoyed really old cemeteries. The headstones, statues, and little poetry down below....and some of the detailed art work on some is amazing for way back then. There is an old one kinda close to where I live....and there are two large half shells, and in each one is a wrapped baby (all in stone), beautiful in detail. Another is a tall statue of a woman from the late 1800's, and it reads: "Here lies the most perfect woman. Friend, wife, mother...here is perfection. Wait for me my love." Wow..imagine being loved so much.

    "Fugit hora, carpe diem et memento mori" - in essence "the hours speed by so seize the day, remembering you will die" (sometimes "tempus fugit" - time flies").

    I know homelessness is a problem in uk cities but the disrespect for the dead is appalling. The police or council should be doing something about this desecration.

    • @catzkeet4860
      @catzkeet4860 Год назад +4

      What, you mean like giving the homeless somewhere else to go? You know, paying a little respect to the LIVE people.... Cos I gotta say, people don't sleep in cemetaries cos its a fun wheeze.... they do it because they have to, and Karen comments like yours don't help ANYone.

    • @Jolene492

      I don’t see it as disrespectful, just my opinion. A lot of homeless people fear being robbed and attacked. They’ve got no help. 💕

    I read a book in the 1970's about how people were so poor in pre-revolutionary France that there were homeless who would sleep in the mausoleums and down in the underground bone repositories... and here we go again.

    Fugit Hora is Latin for Time Flies. Often mentioned on graves with the hourglass motif to symbolize mortality.
    Sometimes, the inscription also reads Tempus Fugit, which has the same meaning.
    Request you to do a tour of graves with symbols like the Masonic symbols.
    Thank you.

    New Orleans famous Lafayette Cemetery was closed for a time as it was overrun with homeless who trashed the property. They had been sleeping and living there with no respect regarding the deceased. It’s a HUGE tourist attraction and the condition of the cemetery was terrible.

    Really cool cemetary! One of those stones said Alexander Pitcairn. I thought (maybe) he was connected to Pitcairn Island, instead that was named after Robert Pitcairn who sadly was lost at sea a few years after. Alexander was an English Cricketer who won in (9) 1st class matches 1750-1814 ( if its the same guy)?

    The symbol of the three crosses is a reminder of the Crucifixion, when Jesus and the two thieves were crucified together. The story is touching and can be found in Luke 23:39-43.

    Hello from Tucson, Arizona! Our old graveyards here are just piles of rocks in the desert sand with maybe with a wooden cross. I've never seen anything like this. Are the deceased buried in the ground in front of their monument or is it like mausoleum?
