I love the feeling of peace and hear the birds singing in the background.
The tombstone with the metal doors is called a columbarium and contains urns with cremated remains. The VA uses them in newer cemeteries.
"Cremated remains = "ashes". Boring.
There is a columbarium in Hull England where I live very old. I saw bones in one of the urnes
I though that’s what it was
Some folks don't want to keep their deceased loved ones in the living room.
Since this cemetery is in Indiana, the last, large brick building in the video that’s been shuttered up tight could have been the old charnel house for the cemetery. Before morgues and morticians had constant refrigeration for the secure storage of bodies, there was no place to put a body in the winter months, when the ground was frozen and a grave couldn’t be dug. So cemeteries built small buildings with racks in them, as a place to temporarily hold the coffins after the funeral, and once the ground was thawed and their grave could be dug, the cemetery crews would start burying them. I only know this because my home town had a public mausoleum where you could be buried (very beautiful inside, with space to hold funerals and several chapels). Around the turn of the 19th century, it had a small storeroom- like place they used as a charnel house, and my great-grandfather spent four months in there (he was a volunteer fireman who died fighting a church fire on New Year’s eve, 1896).
Cool video, very respectfully done!
Juliemac63 In many cemeteries, these were referred to as “Receiving Vaults’. Abraham Lincoln was in one until they could build his tomb. Also, if there was a pandemic and there were a lot of deaths at the same time, they would rest in a receiving vault until graves could b built. Or, if a wealthy person had an elaborate tomb being built, they would rest there until built.
I have never heard the term "charnel house". I have heard them called receiving vaults. Interesting. Now I'm. going to go investigate where that word came from.
Thank you for sharing this interesting tidbit Julie . I learnt something new today .
@@slimythegamer9224 the hells your problem
I think you're right. There is no family name on the structure, or date, so... Anyway, that's a tragic way for your g-grandfather to die. How awful it must have been for your g-grandmother and their children! Life must have really changed for them.
The empty space at the top with the vents is for escaping odors.... I used to be a Mortician and vaults and tombs can really reek at times... Mausoleums usually have intricate ways or guiding the odors up and out of the building.... Don't forget, behind those sealed slab lids are decaying flesh whether or not they have been embalmed....
Thanks for clearing that up!
That is why Hindus cremate their dead...no need for holding up precious real estate or foul odors.
A Mortician? Thats a mighty sorry business to be in
Bill Evans: Thanks for letting the people watching this video know what these really are! Thanks for all the hard work you did! It's not easy! I have a friend whose been a Mortician for many years. I have an Uncle that was a Sexton to a cemetery. I have family buried in crypts like these in the South!
Hello! Question for you-- in the two story mausoleums, is there more room for bodies upstairs or is it just the vent?
I have lived my whole life about 200 ft. away from 2 cemeteries that are side by side..one cemetery is for the poor and the other is for rich. The 2 cemeteries are separated by gates & elaborate fences. In the cemetery for the rich (no plots remain available), there are many little mausoleum houses just like you pictured in your video. These houses were also from the 1800's. Since I grew up with these cemeteries and the mausoleums, I thought this was normal, and I'm surprised to find that most cemeteries don't have "little house mausoleums". As a child, we played in the two cemeteries. The doors/gates on the little house mausoleums in the summertime would be opened I assumed to "air out" or ventilate... The doors would be open, & then they were re-locked at some point most with padlocks but I am sure the cemetery caretaker had keys to all of them even if they had "permanent type" locks... I never went inside of one (I didn't think about it then, but now I would like to do so!!), but I can tell you some creepy stories about the little houses. My friend & I used to take a tennis racquet and hit tennis balls on the side walls of the mausoleums. When I was a teenager, it was discovered that one mausoleum we played around and hit the tennis ball off of frequently, had a cache of explosives stored in it. Dynamite, the works. This would have been in the late 1970's. And then at another little house mausoleum, there was a person stealing bones out of it...the man was arrested and imprisoned. After he got out of prison, he went back and stole more bones at the same cemetery!! I don't know what happened to this man after the 2nd time he got caught. It is unknown to me if the bones were replaced. At another local cemetery where family members are, there are very OLD AND decrepit little house mausoleums. These were from the late 1700's to 1800's. One fascinates me as it is collapsing upon itself, and the cross on top of the building is standing strong though. I believe it has an Italian last name on it. I don't know what the cemetery is going to do when the little house DOES cave in...They are patching it now with plywood, etc. At the other local cemetery I just mentioned, the little house that is caving in on itself, there is a road in front of it, and right along the roadside is a survivor buried from Titanic. She was 18 years old when Titanic went down and I could only imagine what this woman saw that fateful night. She lived to be a healthy age of late 70's before passing. In this cemetery alone, there are 6 survivors of Titanic buried, but this is the first grave I found. Also at this cemetery, where there are mausoleums that hold a few hundred people (my Dad is in this one, and I will be out there along with my Mom when we pass...) I know large mausoleums are common, but in a "new section" of this same cemetery are BRAND NEW little house mausoleums...one is so elaborate, I would like to live in it!! Lavender purple glass, statues, wow, just incredible. These mausoleums must cost a fortune to build. Many are hand painting on the outside, and carved in the granite/marble are portraits of the person, pictures of their homes, animals, etc. Very interesting to walk around a cemetery. I've never been afraid of living by the 2 cemeteries, but when I visit one particular old grave in the "poor" cemetery, I tell the man, named "Bill" (he was 18 when he died) and the poem that is inscribed on his headstone is SO haunting it is his mother and him talking to each other. It's beautiful. I always say. "I'm leaving now, Bill.....I'll be back, don't follow me home"!! I do believe in ghosts by the way. I don't need ANOTHER ghost in our house. We have a few already!! I'm dead serious!!
Loved the story!
"Dead" serious ahaha
I may sound too "eeek" but can I ask you where you're from ? You mentionned graves from Titanic survivors so I guess you're either from Ireland or from Canada ? There not many mausoleums in France where I live, well, not in little towns cemetaries, there are some real old graves. What you will see in EVERY cemetary is either a 14-18 memorial or a 39-45 one, sometimes both. I live near a cemetary and believe me or not, I used to play with stones in my garden and veeery oftenly found bits of headstones all around hahah. I wasn't scary back then, I mean, I was always there so eh. But now I'd completely lose my shit if I ever randomly kicked on a bit of a headstone while gardening (which I don't because I'm lazy af but you get my point-) Gravestones here are mostly stone but the old ones are big metal crucifixes that always looked.... well, I can't put an exact word on it, haunting ? Old ? Strange ? I could write pages and pages about it;
Gail Sharkness has to
Interesting.
Matt, Enjoyed the tour and appreciate the fact that you remained respectful of the graves that you visited. The souls have departed but the bodies buried within once graced this place. In fact, we're all here because of it.
Watching alone in the wee morning hours w/my earbuds in - low battery warning chimed in my ears - 'bout scared me half to death!
😂
🤣
Lmaoooooo dont you hate it when that happens? And worst, when watching something like this ahahahaaaa
Same!!!! It's 6am
😆😀😂🤣
I could spend all day in that cemetery a amazing
Hi Matt, I have not seen all of your videos yet, but I think I love this one most. It is so astonishing, that people spent such a lot of money to build these Mausoleums for dead people. On the other hand it makes me sad to see the decay, the damage and the disregard of the still living family members. Don't they have any respect anymore? If I knew, that such a beautiful building would be my final resting place, I would care for it, clean it up and bring flowers from time to time, make it look the brightest one on this graveyard. Well, some of the still living might have moved, but surely not all, and where do you want to be buried? In your home country - or not? Even the graves in there look sad and lonely, because nobody seems to care anymore ...........
I think I know why some were never used. It's because it was thought out for family members and even the very young family members. but as the younger ones get married they started a family of their own and as time went by they wanted to be buried next to their own kids and spouse. It's a beautiful find and at the same time spooky. You did very good filming thank you for showing us.
Love the video!
Mausoleums always remind me of a story my mother told about a local man, here in small town Texas, who passed when she was a child and was interred in a small mausoleum. His widow would visit every day by going in to actually view her husband (I don't know if it was a windowed coffin or if she opened it up). Before long, nature started taking over and decomposition set it. She started going crazy, according to Mom, and family had the mausoleum taken down and her husband buried in an effort to restore some of her sanity. Creepy, but so sad.
thank u for writing such cool story lol caribbean viewer
There is a similar story on one of Faces of the Forgotten. The guy that does that one was invited to go in to a mausoleum with a family member. The family member told the story of her great uncle or someone like that, who would go into the mortuary daily to view his mother. They eventually sealed her tomb in a way that he couldn't open it anymore.
@@ShaneMoss I just started watching his videos, I’m glad he opened the comment section.
Beautiful monuments! Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia has whole streets of mausoleums like this. It's almost overwhelming.
Matt, I happened upon this video and have subscribed to your channel because you did an awesome job of recording! The mausoleums were BEAUTIFUL and so were some others that were not the mausoleum type. Those fur trees are so majestic and you did them justice as you walked around them. Really enjoyed taking this trip with you. ✝️
Awesome find!! Graveyards are amazing. The architecture they have is great stuff.
very cool find ! i love cemetery walks! the dates are the most interesting! they don't make them like this anymore!
They do actually..love these buildings
Me too - the dates I find interesting to try and imagine life during that era as well as what might have ended their lives. Example: diseases that are nowadays unimaginable.
In fascinated with cemeteries...great video!!
Froggin Around I could spend all day in there. Very interesting . I just love to read the names and dates.
Matt, Thanks for sharing your grave yard tours. When my sister & I were little, we spent a lot of time in cemetaries while our parents & grand parents decorated family graves in Indiana & Ohio. I have always found them very interesting.
Yes those doors were very common on recessed monuments made for Cremation Urns. The lock allowed family members to remove the Urns at special times of the year like Christmas or an Anniversary. Many would bring the Urns home for a visit and afterwards return them to the Monument.
Customs have changed now. Many people keep the Urns at home in a locked cabinet. Cremation is the very best way to deal with a body after death. Great video very interesting.
👍🏻🌹
Cool video! Ever since I was a kid I was very drawn to exploring cemeteries, I guess I was an odd kid. Lol. 👻👍🏼
No I did the same thing still do
Not odd at all! Beautiful architecture , tons of atmosphere , lots of history, cemeteries are fascinating!
MsNALA111 so am I. And has nothing to do with the macabre
I seek out old seldom visited ones...always have and my husband does as well....we had been together about 4 yrs when I spotted a cemetery in nowhere land and asked him to drive to it....he got an odd look on his face and a slow smile...we had discovered yet another bond.
The stories each marker tells...be it tiny or grand...
Me too.
My last home was Key West, FL. Loads of Mausoleums in the cemetery. Some graves appear to be in the ground be only as deep as to coral base will allow you to dig top soil. Looks like 1/2 buried mausoleums. Plus the, when tide comes up it seeps thru the base coral...kinda like in New Orleans.
Hi all the way from London, 🇬🇧. Really enjoyed this stroll what fantastic architecture, I just wanted to tell you the holes that are in most mausoleums are what I found to be called "stink holes" apparently that's what the Victorian architecture tells us, I can imagine this to be true, hope this helps your curiosity and I love your channel 👍🏻
I have read that too, where it is actually a venting system. Bodies rot, even when embalmed.
That's hawt.
ASDA suggestion have you ever been to Highgate because I also come from the UK and you can actually get a proper guided tour of said Highgate cemetery which is very interesting the only thing I don't understand is why people want to take photographs of themselves standing next to somebody's grey who is famous I think that's slightly creepy but I think in America they do things very differently to us but interesting video but as I suggested Highgate really is worth a visit it's very very interesting and Karl Marx is buried there as well as everybody knows
The monument is petrified wood. The stone with the 2 doors probably is designed to hold cremated remains rather than placing them in a niche
Mark Debole I would agree.
I agree that the husband and wife were cremated and ashes placed in the monument.
That would explain why they weren't interred in the De Prez mausoleum at the end of the row.
I thought everybody knew what Petrified Wood is. But some people I guess don't see it or know about it. I have some at home. It's available in the southwest everywhere.
That's what I thought too
That cemetery has a really tranquil vibe. Reminds me of loving the one in my home town .
Can you imagine entering one of those mosaleums and getting locked in? 😨
That is a very interesting cemetary.
Very interesting. I am normally don't watch these sort of things. I came across on accident. The death part well it's death. But the way you go about it. It is very tasteful and respectable. I found this very stimulating thank you so much for sharing. God bless. Have a blessed day
Thanks, Kelly! I really appreciate that!
539 Productions. My pleasure. Have a blessed saturday
Here in Brazil, in the Cemetery of Consolação, in São Paulo, there are mausoleums and wonderful statues, which could be in a museum. Particularly, I think the cemeteries are full of peace, some people are afraid, I'm not. Great video, I loved it. Best wishes!!!
May plan my first trip there, any good spots to check out first?
@@kennethflores-hv7uf São Paulo has many tourist attractions. It has the "Liberdade" neighborhood, MASP, and the northern coast, which is wonderful. Be careful on the subway because we also have pickpockets in Brazil. And don't use your cell phone in the street.
@@zigprof thanks so much for the tip, I’m sure I’ll have lots of fun. Can’t wait to try out the food too.
@@kennethflores-hv7uf I forgot to mention Vila Madalena, where there are several great pubs and restaurants. The portions are generous and two people can eat the same dish.
those gravesite mausoleum's had very elaborate stone floors....i know a long time ago, families would visit the graves & have picnic's & make it all all day affair. I would suppose this would give them a chance to sweep the floors of the leaves & mop the floors there. We don't continue this tradition today . ty for the video, that is an awesome place !
pat murphy. They made it a all day affair because by horse and buggy it would take half the day just to get to the cemetery. It's easy to picture in my mind a family having a picnic with kids running around playing. It's sad how time destroys people and no one left to remember them. It reminds me of what David said in psalms. We blow away like dust before the wind and are place remembers us no more.
I always think that we pass our lives on to our children, just as our ancestors passed their lives on to us.
Spooky
They actually still do that in many parts of the world, the most well known is the day of the dead in mexico where the cemeteries turn into huge "fiestas" for lack of a better word, but it's really awesome!
Not a place I'd eat at
Absolutely fascinating !!! I love your narration and your videos feel like i am right there with- thank you!
Fascinating! Fantastic video! Stumbled across this gem, and is definitely in my top 10 favorite RUclips videos! Thank you very much!
Thank you, Tim! That really means a lot to me!
Great job Matt. I think this has to be one of my most favorite tours yet. What a beautiful cemetery.
Matt, outstanding for sure!! I have to say this one is up there in the top 5 of my favorite videos you have done...keep up this really awesome job...stay safe and have freaking fun!!...peace!!✌
Fairmount East in Denver is one that seems to be right out of a Gothic Horror with many, many family mausoleums varying from modest to Monstrous in size. This is where the Who's who, the predominant families of Denver's High Society were laid to rest.
Absolutely stunning cemetery! What a magnificent find.
It makes me wonder and ponder the lives of those buried in these mausoleums. Great video as always
The headstone with the locks maybe a place for ashes ? great video, really enjoyed it :) The sky in the backdrop, amazing ....
That's my thought, too, Gina. It's a small columbarium.
That's what I was thinking too.
Beautiful architecture.
Spaces in mausolea are called "crypts," not graves or vaults. People are entombed in a mausoleum, not buried. Interment (not internment-which means to be held in a facility by a government during wartime ) is specifically in-ground disposition. A columbarium is a crypt for cremated remains. Trust me on this. I've been a funeral director for 30 years. The marker with the doors on it is probably for cremated remains; the stone looks thick enough to hold simple urns.
The grounds keeper should be clearing the over hang that damaging those structures
I guess this cemetery doesn't have perpetual care for any of these entombments or in ground burial or these old mausoleums. Since this is an old cemetery.
I just love this stuff!!!! So beautiful!!!
You twisted lady :)
BRO U R JUST LIKE ME I LOVE OLD CEMETERIES.U SHOULD STOP BY FOREST LAWN GLENDALE CALIF AND F.L.HOLLYWOOD HILLS .LOTS OF CELEBRITIES

Ego survives death. Our mausoleum is taller than your mausoleum.
Interesting video. Thanks!
Well that's nothing new 🤣. Remember my pyramid is taller than your pyramid. Some things just never change I guess.
So clean and beautifully organized.
Thanks for taking us along to this interesting place.
Many members of my family are buried in this same cemetery. Imagine my surprise upon watching this video today when seeing the mausoleum! I have taken photos of this mausoleum before when paying respects to loved ones buried there. Also, this cemetery has some lovely sculptures and statues. One huge statue has a weeping angel on it with the family name "AMOS" carved into it along with the words "And God shall wipe away all tears". There is a mass grave up on the plateau near the Catholic section of a plane crash that happened back in the 70's in Rosemont, Indiana. The bodies were transported to this city and buried there after an exhaustive search to find the identities of the victims. A local mortician kept a diary of the whole scenario and the utmost of care and respect was taken even if it was only a victim's finger recovered. I was in high school when it happened but recall it vividly and how the community rallied together. The city does a good job of keeping this cemetery clean and well kept. Unfortunately, I have made many treks up the hills while burying my loved ones there. May all who sleep there rest in eternal peace. Thank you for the respectful way you done your video.
Thank you for the Video. Greetings from Germany!
Good afternoon from West Virginia! Wished I were with you on that lil visit.lol....Great Video.
That super thick-looking Tombstone, was holding the ashes of two mortals. Which is why they locked you out.
Further, that "Huge Mausoleum" you wanted to look inside of, was the "Care Taker's Equipment shed".
And if you go back to the row of 1800's mausoleums and note the name of the last mausoleum, Some of those tombstones were of the same last name.
And yes, That set of logs stacked, the top log at least, was petrified redwood.
Great tour.
Oh, and thank you for sharing your interesting video.
YOUR MY KIND OF GUY!!!! I LOVE WALKING IN CEMETERIES...
Hi Matt, really cool buildings with great architecture. The one burial that confused you with the little doors I would guess is they were cremated and had their remains put in an urn behind the doors so it looks like a burial. Great video, thank you. x
Sue Girling The cremation doors are a lot smaller than these. These are full-body burials. However, I may be wrong on this one....the doors were made differently back then. It could be cremations. 😊
Mine was just a sheer guess lol. x
I'm unsure as to the reason for that design, but this grave, & at least one more leading up to it, had the same surname, De Prez, as one of the family mausoleum/crypts along the lane. There were several spots available w/in the family crypt, wonder why these folk were buried separately? Perhaps unrelated, but w/same surname - or mebbe on the outs w/the family?
Ghost doors?
@@busybeedereon5443: These are family crypts for full bodies to be buried.
I know some people thought the brick building was a storage shed for lawn maintenance (which it might be), but in the old days when they could not dig in the ground because it was frozen and they didn't have the backhoes like today, they would place the bodies into a shed like the brick building until the ground thawed and then the bodies would be buried!
Stunningly beautiful, thank you for a great video
This place was totally incredible. Was great going along with you. Thanks for the ride.
Those folks buried in those mausoleums must have been the movers and shakers of that area. Would love to research some of the names. As usual, thanks for the adventure 😻👏🏼🤗
I always wonder who these people were, what did they do. The few I've researched had interesting stories.
The Staten Island Cemetery reminds me of Woodlawn cemetery in Toledo, Ohio. The Stranahan Family (Champion Spark Plugs);The Devilbiss Family,(Adomizers and sprayers); Ryder (Attorney, Willys-Overland Motors--JEEP); Libby Family (Libby Glass); Spitzers, (Spitzer Paper Box Company,later formed into National Paper Box Company then brain-childed the Jeep that won the government contract during the WWs while at Willys-Overland. Personally got a tour of the Spitzer Mausoleum. The number of crypts were by the dozens. It was one of the largest ones that I have had the honor to tour inside in the 70s.
Kathy- researching the names is a fantastic walk in history.And, as you suggested---it is an adventure.
I really like all of them. It's a mus. town! Wow! Thank-you
Matt. Becky Z
Hey Matt" I heard you😊!" Wow😮
When? 😢
The headstone with the two little doors holds cremains of those who don't like the idea of being underground or scattered in the wind or wherever.
The yew bushes and birdsong add to the sadly peaceful feeling of eternal rest, plus your calm respectful tone.
I have always wondered what happens after say 500 years to these structures ? Are they allowed to just collapse into a pile of rubble ? What then ? The expense of these structures must have been immense! Who can afford them today ?
no one will take care of them, especially no family or relative left. perpetual care sometimes won’t do either
i have the same fascination since i was a kid! nice to see others out there who respect and honor our past generations.
You love graveyards? Go to New Orleans, or nearly any larger town in Louisiana. No one there can be buried in the ground. The water table is too high. So everyone was buried in mausoleums. Some of them are quite beautiful.
even people who have died recently?
We visited many cemeteries in/around Savannah...OMG the sheer beauty of the headstones/crypt/mausoleum/statuary...was amazing and you knew every inch of that work was touched by a human hand as it was being created...
@Viking ...Bonaventure in Savannah GA is amazing to see as well...the craftsmanship that went into carving those headstones and mausoleum walls...stunning.
Linda Taylor Galveston also has a very old cemetery with mausoleums. Several have been vandalized, tho.
I'm kind of glad these mausoleums are locked. Many people do not share your interest in history and beautiful grave architecture. We can see through the bars. Great video.
Reminds me of Italy cemetery very cool 😎 awesome find
The Dixon mausoleum was beautiful and considering the age in fairly good condition.
If you ever get to Tennessee be sure to visit Mt. Olivet cemetery in Nashville.
Huge amount of mausoleums..
Thank you Matt. If it wasn't for you the dearly departed wouldn't have a respectful visit. I'm surprised that since the Find-a-Grave is now a pay for service that they haven't contacted you?
I did not know find a grave was paid for. I volunteer here to go to 5 kind of local to me cemeteries to find and photo graves for people. Gives me an excuse for an outing and I do love the cemeteries.
Thank you very much for taking the time to show there!!
It looks like a cemetery I visited in Cincinnati. Has some amazing mausoleums. Very cool!!
Ronda Cherrie I thought same thing I grew up in cincy old one in walnut hills spring grove cemetery
Ronda Cherrie the old elephant house at the zoo lol
Sandy Wolf-Lit not sure where the cemetery is. My cousin lives in Norwood and her parents are buried at the cemetery we went to.
Sandy Wolf-Lit Been there neat place..
maybe it is. The DePrez surname is everywhere. that's my mom's maiden name and her father was from Cincinnati
This is a great video. I think back in the day, family would unlock those gates and clean and take care of the interior. As the family aged then passed away, they've gone into disrepair. So sad. Too bad nothing is done to restore or at least maintain the structures.
I just came across on facebook a stone like that,
When you opening it,It has the person Obit
I went metal detecting in an old large victorian cemetery over 50yrs.ago. I found hundreds of old silver dollars and seven old gold pieces.They are in rough shape but I still have them in a canvas bag in my garage.
Well done matt.Allways great viewing.
It's good to see you. This video is one of your most interesting about mauseleums. Thank you for your many videos in the past and now. Matt I am looking forward to your next cemetery tour.. Thank you.☺️
Beautiful buildings .. Very sad that they’re now left to disrepair and the elements ... surely there must be family born later that could care for these magnificent Mausoleums !! Here in U.K. up in North London is there are two Cemeteries with Swains Lane separating them in Highgate. One being Highgate Cemetery- There are short guided tours on a Sunday in this one as a few famous people are buried in here. Up at the back there also are a few Mausoleums, one being the size of a proper house, it’s huge and only one person was ever buried in this one. The other few are similar to the ones in this vid .... it’s actually lovely in there, it is like a woodland, quite overgrown in a managed way by a group called - The Friends of Highgate Cemetery .... I know it may sound a bit morbid, but I like cemetery’s and like looking round the older parts at the ages-lengths of time a person lived ....
Not morbid at all. I greatly enjoy visiting cemeteries because during daylight hours they can radiate peace and are wonderful places to pray for the repose of all interred. As a latter of fact, sometimes I will stop in to eat my lunch then spend time walking around praying. Also, I love history and look for the oldest graves and the graves of veterans. AND, if you happen upon a really old graveyard you can see some amazingly artistic stonework. Yep! I love visiting cemeteries and have done so for almost 30 years. A blessed New Year to you from Arizona!
Nice find! Love this!
One of the things I missed about living in New Orleans and Southern Loyuisiana was these cemeteries!
The tall mausoleums may contain extra space for the vaults to ventilate. All mausoleums are constructed with paths for ventilation.
In my town, the cemetery has a row of mausoleum. When you walk through it, you feel like your walking through a street of beautiful home. So peaceful and birds chirping.
GREAT FIND ...love your work .
If these Mausoleums could be cleaned they would be so beautiful. The architecture is beautiful.
Thanks Matt for sharing with me another interesting video about the Crazy Row of Old 1800s Mausoleums in Historic Graveyard that was some kind of buildings I really enjoyed this video and I can't wait to see your next videos on both channels and God Bless you my friend and thanks again.
Wow this was one of your best, I love the old mausoleums, peaceful and always so beautiful, Thank you
I worked at a graveyard / cemetery for years. I could answer a lot of your questions.About 99% of people buried is an interment if it has a vault.Which almost all graves have ,including underground.Or in a mosuleum unless they are creamated .A Cemetery is a graveyard with a church , Graveyards do not have churches .Either active or not.
J Crew It’s the other way around. A burial with a church is a graveyard. With no church its a cemetery.
Loved this video. The headstone is for urns. You always do a great job with these graveyards.
Beautiful place. So peaceful.
The cemetery is absolutely incredible! This might be my favorite video of yours. Keep on filming, and I will keep on watching. ✌️👍
The small locked doors in the head stone are where the people’s cremains are!
Thanks for letting me know!
Indiana death certificates for the DePrez are on line. Jacob was "embalmed," wife Jennie cremated. Most likely the information for Jacob is incorrect. Sure wouldn't be the first time a death certificate had it wrong.
Great structures to putrefy in.
Looks like lake view cemetery in Cleveland Ohio . There is a old section of the cemetery that is difficult to find and if you don’t know it’s there you would never find it
Yeah that's true, I work there and get asked questions all the time about the family crypts especially the ones set into the hill on section 1

Matt, another very respectful, thoughful, informative Cemetery explore. Thank you
I would guess that the tombstone with the locked doors would be for urns. So maybe it contains their ashes.
Such a beautiful Cemetery, I love walking around the one my Mom is buried in with her parents, it's so beautiful.
Wow those are so cool, nothing like this in the UK
Ringway Manchester I believe there is a famous cemetery called Highgate around London.I'm from the US, so anyone from the UK who can help?

ACTUALLY Europe has the best cemeteries, alot of the headstones were sculpted by Michael Angelo! There works of art!
London my friend! Highgate, Brompton, nunsgate, kensel Green or I'd your in Scotland Grey friars kirk yard and Glasgow necropolis :)
Edinburgh has a few kirkyards like this, Greyfriars Kirkyard being the most popular :)
Very cool. Very quiet peaceful there.
New Orleans Matt... Best Mausoleums next to France. Get driving! Be careful around the ones downtown. Not the best area, VERY SEEDY!
An exceptionaly awesome video, Matt. Loved viewing these historic masoleums, although it's a shame some of them are falling apart. A definite great find, hope to see more future videos like this one. Thanks for all you do, Matt. As always, be safe.
Smashing the like button for sure. That was an awesome movie what a awesome place. Good job
I have always been amazed by the architectual designs that are found in some graveyards there is some beautiful decorative designs
That log is petrified wood, the real thing. It's illegal to take any from the site now, but it's cool stuff. Looks like stone.
The date on the petrified log is 1838. Wonder if that was the date the person died.
that cemetery looks so nice the one in our town the grass is dry almost no trees that one looks so tranquil good for those souls so they can rest in peace such a peaceful place the way it was intended. thanks for sharing
The brick building is actually the maintenance shed. They build them to look like mausoleums so they dont ruin the look of the cemetery. Inside is probably the lawnmowers and digging equipment.
At 3:15 it looks like someone looking down at you. Scared the bricks out of me! Lol
I personally don’t find mosoleums creepy, I think they seem really peaceful, especially the ones from Asia
This is Forest Hill Cemetery in Shelbyville, IN. My grandfathers grave is here. Thanks for the video
Quite a beautiful place
"no more buildings left to try to get into" LOL...
I just found your channel. Every year when I go back home to rural PA I visit our families graves and find the old gravestone from the 1700s and 1800s so interesting. They have a story to tell. I thought I was a weirdo for visiting these . I love your channel. Have a great night
Thanks. Sharon!
