I subscribed as soon as you spoke about it and I really like the content of that channel too.
It's sad to see something like that. It happens all the time they run out of money they can't keep it up same as graveyards I've seen graveyards growed up not taken care of It happens all the time they run out of money they can't keep it up same as graveyards I've seen graveyards growed up not taken care of. On most properties if the taxes aren't paid it goes to the county or the city so I would think they should be responsible, Some are going to say why should they be responsible I don't know. Like your content, Be safe
Wow! Never seen anything like that before!
How horribly sad for those who were buried there. My heart breaks for them. A WWII vet lying among trash...just disgusting.
😞💔
Theres actual living war vets lying amongst trash that people walk byon a daily basis and don't see them as anything but a nuisance.
@@ddavis3599 agreed
@@ddavis3599 that's right.
Just take them and cremate them.
An eye opening view on how the deceased are pathetically disrespected.
These cemeteries should be maintained by the city or county...needs to be a law!
There is a law. If you own a cemetery, you cannot just walk away from it when it's full; laws require you to maintain it. 100 years from now, it's impossible for you to keep maintaining it. When you leave it to somebody in your will, they don't want it because all it does is suck money out of his/her budget without bringing any profit at all.
Lets do something about it, start a fund, you with me?
In the UK churchyards are managed by the church that the yard is attached to and cemeteries are managed by local government. The idea of privatised cemeteries is abhorrent to our sensibilities. The thought of a mass final resting place ending up like this mind-blowing. The final interment was only two decades ago too. I accept that we have cultural differences but this is utterly stunning.
City inspector should be charging the place for blight. That should get the ball rolling to getting the place cleaned up.
that's why I believe corpses should be cremated
My father goes around twice a year to relatives graves to clean the overgrowth and spray the headstones so weeds and algae doesn’t grow over them. He also does it for sites of people who obviously have been forgotten by everyone or people don’t care enough to visit.
My cousin Arthur does the same thing. We have a family cemetery that is really old on some former Indian land that our family owned and an attorney owns the land now and he lets my cousin come and clean the graves off and keep the little small cemetery looking nice
i've decided to donate my body when i die
Next time he goes tell him to get inside the spaces and clean them very well. It’s a good thing he is doing that!
Your father is a good man ☺️❤️
I miss my grandpa dearly he died over a decade ago and I live in LA his grave is in Rose Hills. My mom doesn’t like seeing his grave or thinking of him in it. I will go see him one of these days.
This really hurts my heart. I’m 57 years old and very disabled. But I still go to the family graveyards and pay my respect for my ancestors. As far back as the 1700’s. But I’m kind of weird, I go to my parents graves and talk to them. I feel at home in cemeteries.
I do the same!
me too!
I wish we would be friends ❤️
Not strange at all. I do the same thing.
Thought I was alone…I go to cemeteries all the time to find peace
Absolute disgrace beyond comprehension. These souls walked the streets and had a life as we do today. Someones mother, father, sister, son, daughter etc…no respect given to them as they should and deserve. Thank you Lamont as always, for taking us with you, be safe 🦍
Exactly my thoughts. I am glad you wrote this.
May you be böessed@ Greetings from Germany!
I agree with you Veronica .it's so sad that everything is to do with money .I'm so glad that here in the UK this does not happen .
@@winterweib so so sad
Perfectly articulated
Amen to that, Veronica.
As someone who works in the death care industry, I had to stop watching this video because it makes me so upset.. I hope these people get the dignity they deserve and are able to find peace..
It breaks my heart too I don’t want my grave to be like this just forgotten and desiccated
I like to think they have being their spirit is far far away from their earthly bodies
My grandparents lived up the road from here; my brother and sister and I used to play there as kids. The mausoleum was cooler than the sweltering summer heat, so we would go in and sit down (there was a seating area, and drinking fountain) to cool-off. My little sister used to take some of the fake flowers from a full vase, and put some in the empty ones, "so they wouldn't be alone"). This is a travesty AND a tragedy.
Thanks for bringing this to the forefront. It is tragic that the city, county, and state entities do not put the bureaucracy aside and handle the 400 plus reinterments. As a funeral service provider and embalmer for over 42 years I can share that I have coordinated well over 100 disinterments and reburials over the decades. The $6K per body is ridiculous! it is a paperwork and labor issue that need not exceed $400 to $500 hundred per individual transit and burial. A cemetery donates to the community space to inter the estimated 400 individuals, in multi-depth graves it is approximately 130 spaces. it is only as hard as one makes it. I can only share that we are here but once, and what we do to correct or mend what needs to be mended is the legacy we leave. Not everything we do in life requires a profit to be made; sometimes it is simply the right thing to do.
I appreciate your compassion in what is usually a money driven industry! It's a disgrace and also a public health threat for the city to leave this unresolved! Thank you for your service to those in need❤️
@@monav4062 I appreciate the sentiments shared. I believe that if the community took action, with the assistance of a number of funeral homes, and adjacent cemeteries in the area the task could be accomplished. The city, county and or state would need to step in as the financiers of the project to permit the professionals and the "community" to rectify the problem. I mean in 1969 we went to the moon........... it is not impossible to put egos, pride and greed aside for the few months it would take to move them, and show compassion to the founders of the community for which they lived, worked and were eventually put to rest. To the moon and back, this too can be done. Hell............. I will fly out there and get you all started with the solution, and, ........... I will pay for my own flight and hotel.
Tom Halloran...wish there was more like you.
Too many over inflated egos.
Seeing the graffiti on the walls inside the mausoleum, the crypt's opened, caskets exposed and no longer sealed, that one that was on the floor, some caskets appearing to be missing from some crypts, etc.... is horrifying. Obviously, there have been people that go there for the "fun" of it and have opened those crypts and caskets to mess with and steal the bones and/or steal anything that was buried with the deceased. Just absolutely disgusting this has been allowed to happen to this place! Shameful!
what kind of toy would tag in a masoleum
They will pay in the next life. Believe me, they will.
@@dravidianalchemist My thoughts exactly
@@chriscee546 that’s literally an unwritten rule, you don’t tag on shit like that 😭 i mean whos even gonna recognise what you put up in there, the dead?
There are other possibilities as to why there are empty crypts. One, they were never used. Two, if they were used, someone removed the casket to another location.
This is so humbling and sad. No one left to care for this? It's beyond my comprehension this situation exists.
I've been a cemetery enthusiast somewhat in my life. When you walk through cemeteries you notice the like those who are dead in the 50's barely have flowers left. As one by one those who mourned them also die. It is quite sad.
Pamela ullery you're magnificent attractive woman
@@bretth4988 it’s just life. We are all forgotten eventually. Best to just accept it.
@@alleycat616Indeed. Hell even I don't know who my great grandparents are and despite myself already documenting my own grandparents lives to pass down to my future children, I don't think my great great grandchildren will really care about my existence anymore but yk, I'm perfectly fine with that.
You got more balls than me!!
The horrific sight is one thing, but the building is a massive biohazard!!
It's absolutely terrible that the city and state health departments would let this go for so long.
So much for " Prpetual Care"
There is such an epidemic, Lamont, of disrespect for EVERYTHING any more...we are not even safe from violation after we die. I've asked my son, when I pass, to have my remains cremated, then take my ashes to the mountains by the beautiful small town I grew up in, and scatter them there. I feel, after seeing many cases of the sort of horrors depicted here, that what I've asked him to do is the only way for me to truly rest in peace, without having concerns about this sort of thing happening. It's so revolting how so much is breaking down...no respect, no trust, no anything....truly, nothing is sacred, anywhere, any more.
This is unforgivable in today's world 🌍. This should never be okay.
It isn't but we also have other issues....if you wanna go do it and figure out how to keep it from happening then bring it up to local government officials
I agree
Unforgivable*
Today's world is much like yesterday's world. It's sad.

This video was very disheartening to see how the dead doesn't seemed to be treated with any kind of respect. Thanks Lamont for bringing this story to us. Much appreciated, but very sad.
Lamont, you are a brave man to open up a casket. I don't think I could ever bring myself to doing so.
That's some morbid curiosity taking over lol. I would do the same. Human remains/bones are no danger, it's the living that can be a danger to others.
While generally Lamont is respectful to those who have passed on, to bang on a coffin with your fist and opening it is going too far. Come on Lamont, that was pretty morbid. What if there would've been a body in there? Fortunately there wasn't. Take care Lamont. Pls don't open anymore coffins, you're better than that.
@@kevinmalone3210 Give us a break. Groundskeepers and maintenance personnel have to trample over graves everyday. How do you think all those cemetery lawns get mowed? Somebody has to drive heavy machinery over them.
When he opened it, I was like 😳😲
I think when he touched it his intuition knew it felt and sounded empty.
And this is why I want a natural burial.
Just wrap me in linen, bury me in the ground and plant a nice beautiful tree over me, that I might become the tree and provide air to the environment and a home to lil birds and critters 😊
Yes, this is the way to go.
That is the best way
That’s the best way to go!
That's what I want. Going back to nature 😊
I would have literally fainted😭😭😭😭😭😭. It's horrible seeing Sacred Grounds being forgotten and trashed. The original owners should have sold this property many, many years ago during their viable years. Perhaps to organizations with multiple outlets. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!
That is a very interesting fact, I never knew that about the marbles. Thank you for the videos. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. I hope someone can do something about this. This is so disrespectful to everyone in that cemetery and their loved ones. Be safe out there guys.
Lamont after seeing this video I shared it with my friend that lives in Rhode Island. She was livid! Here is her response "This is outrageous. I’m calling the Mayor of Cranston, Alan Fung. I helped his campaign and he needs to pull his head out and raise funds for this. Thanks for sharing!" So maybe through you and Mobile Instinct and sharing this video things can start to happen there. Thanks again for the work you do. God bless and stay safe. (aka Becka)
Thank you David. You and your friend, just like Lamont are doing your part in humanity. We all need to take care of one another, dead or alive. Stay save, stay blessed Sir.
Outstanding. Really hope this gets squared away. Very sad
I know it’s only been a month but have you heard any news back from your friend?
Well I wonder if she does call if something will be done I very much doubt it though politicians love for passing the buck
It's like a war zone .. that's sad Amen
I live pretty close to this, it’s a total disgrace! The state won’t do anything about this! People have tried, but they don’t get anywhere! So sad! Thank you for visiting here and making it public! You’re a good person!
This is why LOCAL elections matter.
Would this be covered under Biden’s infrastructure?
Can a couple of church groups get together & trade months with caring for the cemetery? Each could do a bit at a time till it's just normal maintenance ?
@@judyroberds9622 bidens not allocating money for THE GOOD- he's giving it to evil foreign countries that are our enemy such as Afghanistan where we left AMERICANS but few out Afghani criminals
People aren't getting anything done to restore that cemetery, because they are giving up or afraid to rattle some cages.
This one stressed me out. How can this happen? Absolutely heartbreaking.
That's messed up that the court system decided to destroy the cemetery records! Instead, archive it! other than that, it's pretty depressing to see a mausoleum and a cemetery just falling apart 😔
That's why I would never want my body interred in a mausoleum. You're basically stored on a shelf for the life of the building, which will eventually fail. What happens after the structure fails? Doesn't seem like a permanent way up putting someone's body to rest.
I’ve seen some really nice mausoleums and how long will they stay that way? At some point, they fall apart. Just look at some that are 100 years old…or less…..cremation for me!
That’s why I want to be cremated and interred in a catholic cemetery. The church is required to maintain it perpetuity - and even then, if that fails, I just hope to be left in the ground. I don’t want to be rattling around on someone’s shelf somewhere! Let me be!
@@IrishAnnie Or you could just go six feet under like most people. Buried caskets are almost never excavated.
@@tommyanomaly6193 Eventually they will be. Like here in the Netherlands. If the grave isn't paid for they remove it. There's also not enough space to have graves stay forever, which is why embalming is illegal here, or at least it was for a very long time. I believe there are exceptions where it is allowed. Graves don't stay forever. Eventually the casket is gone and the bones will accidentally removed when digging.
@@plumdutchess Well Europe has less land. Here in the USA that's not a problem yet.
Sadly we will all be forgotten to time.
Time goes quick mate..Australia
So true....as if we never existed....and life goes in a flash...time waits for no man is so true...
You're an angel, sir. May you always stay blessed. Keep up the great work. 🙏🏻
The state of this cemetery has deeply pissed me off. Especially the childrens graves and the return servicemens. In Australia our city councils are responsible for the maintenance of our cemeteries with very few being privately owned. If our cemeteries were kept in this condition, there would be hell to pay. The owners or people that have inherited it should have their ass kicked.
Yes America needs to overhaul its cemetery and mausoleum ownership laws and create a suitable responsible government department to oversee the maintenance of the burial or disposal of human bodies after death. Mausoleums should be done away with because bricks and mortar buildings don't last long enough and are too costly to maintain, especially in the hands of private owners. Cremation, or Eco burials, both with some sort of online memorial web page for visitors to access and share memories on. The way it is now there is no dignity, respect, or care being shown to the deceased, money is being taken from the deceased family and only neglect is being provided in return. Australian cemeteries seem to be better maintained. Local governments take care of the daily maintenance and up keep of the grounds.
Same here in the area I live, Northeast England, and as far as I would imagine all of the UK, all of our cemeteries are fairly well kept by the local authority. There would be hell to pay if they weren’t. This is shameful.
Well the owner died and he left it to his daughter, then she died, there was no one else to leave it to. The city/state should be responsible for this.
They're dead.
@@leesanurse6474 No kidding.
I have to say that my jaw literally dropped when you began showing the extent of the degradation of this mausoleum. I am absolutely horrified that this cemetery is in such horrid condition.
Buildings don’t last forever. And this is why burying society is a terrible idea.
I feel like an easy solution would be to seal off the building so no one can access it, which would allow the graves to remain safe and undisturbed. Then, a memorial wall with all the information of the people in there could be put up so future descendants could still have easy access to the information.
@Christian Benitez I mean, if you have a better idea… 🤷🏻♂️
You really think those who already stole some bodies wouldn't find a way into it.
Keep up the GOOD WORK brother !!!

@@yzrider3326 Not for the ancient Egyptians ;). If you recite ones name they live in that moment. Lamont is bringing many to life again.
Couldn't this be considered "DESECRATING OF A GRAVE SITES?" So those playing games with the mausoleum should all be held accountable.
Yes !!!!
Yes!!!!
That being said, who owns the property?! The whole city and county government should be held accountable!
My God!! Seeing this was so depressing. I know what you mean Lamont. I too have never seen anything like this. Never thought that as dead we would ever be forgotten like this. But that is reality.
Thank you for what you do!! This is heartbreaking and people need to know what is happening.
Honestly I always thought the state performs yearly inspections at funeral homes, cemeteries and mausoleums!! I believe the state should be held accountable.
I think it depends on the state, and might just apply to funeral homes.

You can tell by so many of the nice plants that some time ago it was probably very pretty.

@@mysteriousjz English pls
Thanks for covering this story, Lamont. There are mausoleums all over the US falling into disrepair and abandonment.. Yet new and ever larger mausoleums continue to be built...What happens when the money that's meant to be set aside for the perpetual care of those is also embezzled or their owners pass on? I really don't think that privately-owned mausoleums and cemeteries are a good idea at all. We don't have mausoleums in my country - and all cemeteries are government-owned. That's SOME peace of mind, at least!
Thank you Lamont... I love your videos...your voice calms my anxiety ❤
I hope these souls get taken care of and can peacefully rest ❤
When I was a kid, my dad would cut the grass on the family plot with an old fashioned grass cutter. I purchased “perpetual care” for the same plots. Mom & dad are buried there. Their souls are in Heaven with the Lord. 🙏🏼 Amen! ❤️
Such a horrible disgrace that no one is caring for these people's final resting place. My their souls RIP.🌹

Thank you for sharing this with us. It's such a shame. God Rest There Soles . This is such an awful thing to happen to these people. Definitely sharing the county sould be responsible for the care of theses graves.
What happens here is that everyone wants to earn money and they do not realize that little by little everything is finished each day and it is not only the cemeteries but in everything we use daily. It's sad that humans are so ambitious and in the end we will all end up that way.
And this why I want to be cremated
Is so sad to learn that one day everybody will forget about us.
On Earth maybe, but not in Heaven.
We won’t care once we’re with God. None of that earthly stuff will matter anymore. This world is too wicked anyway.
I'm still alive and I have already been forgotten, but only to God and that's all that matters, that my Lord and savior still know who I am.
It's about your contribution while you are alive, and the difference you can make. Your actions will live on long after you are gone. 💜

This video was one of the best videos!
Thanks!
It's scary to think that someone you love in that mess.
Wish that cemetery was close to my area....I'd get my crew and get started on cleaning it up, mowing it and fixing it up nice again...it's such a shame to see how these folks are having to be and the mausoleum was horrible...my heart breaks for all in this cemetery...
My mother was fine with cremation. Her mother was buried in a nice perpetual care cemetery, but we never visited. My mother just said "she's not really there".
This why most cemeteries have board of directors to maintain perpetual care. The cemetery or mausoleum doesn't die because the owners die. The city needs to step in, secure, repair and sell. The surrounding neighborhoods should demand action to control the vandalism, and age related disrepair, and restore it's dignity.🙏💕
Absolutely Right!
Money is the issue. Taxes are probably already high: schools, cops, libraries. The politicians don't want to raise taxes for an "abandoned" mausoleum.
@Live from the boot You're right: See my previous post: up-keep and yes, de-mo-li-tion require money. Probably the reason the mausoleum is neither kept up nor demolished.
Great video; very reverently and respectively done; but a much needed video for sure !! Thanks !!
Love your videos! Stay safe, and keep doing what you’re doing ❤️
This is a painful lesson for all of us, what we've been doing with our dead is simply not feasible in the long run. Cremation, aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis), & green burials are the better options for now.
I just told my husband this. I live in a Caribbean island 🇹🇹 but I would love to do a "green burial" - the cheapest, cleanest option. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust and done!
👏🏻 growing up I never planned my wedding I planned my funeral. If I was to leave this realm tomorrow (I hope not being in my early 30’s, but you just never know when your cards are up) my mum and brothers know I want to be cremated and to put my in my dads urn and my little boy. In a family cremation plot I plan of purchasing and we can all rest together one day. I don’t want a lonely grave where I’m forgotten.
Yes we can rethink things. I say bury us 12 feet deep and keep layering us up
No not for me🤢
Cremation

You can still have your cremains buried, but just make sure your family knows your wishes. If it was legal in my state I’d be composted.

Hi friend! 👍
This was insane to watch I can't believe what it would be like to actually go. I really had no idea stuff like this was actually going on and for that long?! There's an old, small cemetery by where I live and some people buried there were born in late 1600s. Pretty small but still kept up and nice. I don't believe anyone new has been buried there in decades. My mom and I used to go there since her parents are buried far away. It even still has this old oil lamp at the entrance. No longer in use obviously but it has a fresh coat of paint. Drive by it all the time.
Buy it Lamont. It seems like a good business venture.
This is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen no cemetery should be left in such a state. Why can't people who do crimes and get sentence to unpaid work in the community not be sent to keep these places immaculate no family should be made visit loved ones and be faced with a state like this. Once again sensitively done
No family made to visit their loved ones in this state? And you want others and prisoners to take care of their so called loved ones? Family themselves are disgrace

@@mysteriousjz Did you see how old the dates of death were on some of those vaults? Do you know where all your ancestors are buried who died 90 years ago? I don't. I live 1500 miles away from their resting places. Even if I didn't live 1500 miles away, I still wouldn't know family members from 4 generations ago are buried unless someone else who has traced the genealogy put them on find a grave.
Most communities have codes about how properties need to be maintained. They have an obligation to enforce them in this cemetery and mausoleum. People sentenced to community service having to work their time off in cleaning things up would be an excellent way to get things going in the right direction.
I live in Denver. We have a park called Cheeseman Park, it was once a cemetery. There are still Graves in it. It was a cemetery for prisoners and homeless people, murderers. It's an interesting story.
Lamont should do a vlog there, that would be interesting
@Emerald Woodlands some bodies were moved. The man was paid per body to move but he got greedy and instead of moving a whole body he would only move parts of the body. One arm in a casket or a leg...eventually he was caught.
@Emerald Woodlands but they didn't move the rest of the bodies. They were covered up by the new park.

Sound strange to me
Even in the Cemetry Families don't go and visit them.
Nono.
It's sad to think that nobody's around anymore to take care of this graveyard and to think that somebody's final resting place is desecrated like that
Keep up the good work shedding light on issues like this first of all being buried or in a mausoleum it will end up like this every time sooner or later in the future it's far better if everyone got cremated it doesn't use up resources and doesn't have problems in the future so anybody watching this would probably really give some thought about being cremated instead
This mausoleum that you went to has been all over the news here in RI. On Halloween, people broke into it and they’re rumors that homeless people were staying there. I blame this on the city of Cranston for not taking any action

@@mausumidas2400 I'm surprised the government or the city didn't get fed up and demolish the place. The families of the ones who passed away there are probably gone. Nobody visits, so why even leave the place standing?
I used to work as a Sexton in the late 70's. Back then we would dig the graves by hand. After a burial, all the dirt that had been taken out, would actually be placed all back in. We never had left over dirt from a burial. I can still remember standing on the lid of a Coffin and tamping down the dirt on either side as my co-worker shoveled it in. If it was tamped down too much you would be left with a "dip" and not enough would be left with a "mound". So there was actually some skill involved to get it just right. The most graves I ever dug in one day was 7.
Thank you for the hard work you did. That is a thankless job.
That's so interesting...let me ask you something, my grandaddy bought close to 20 plots for our family and when someone in our family passes, grass doesn't grow back until the next family member passes, we've seen 7 yrs in between, 3 yrs, different numbers of years....like the last two recent passings was my cousin in 2011 and his grass didn't grow back until last year when my moma passed, and now, her grass hasn't grown back...this has gone on since the mid 60s when grandaddy bought the plots and the first family member passes, this is inside a VERY old cemetery where many are buried so I don't know if this is happening to anyone else's family, but it's a very real situation for my family...so now my momas grass won't grow back until the next person passes...have you ever heard of such? just curious because you are definitely the person to ask...
@@donnar9864 I’m guessing that the dirt they used to refill the grave came from deep in the grave. Dirt that comes from deep in the grave has very few nutrients needed by plants. If you want grass immediately I would scrape off the top 4” or so and pour down several bags of potting soil and then put grass on top of that.
@@swimbait1 No it doesn't bother me or my family, we just find it strange, it's eerie that the grass doesn't grow back on the last grave till the next person passes....but thank you so much for responding 😊
@@swimbait1 lol not the "spooky" answer she was looking for. Lol
Wow Lamont that is unbelievable. You have the perfect voice for this!!
That is very sad I think it's great that Lamont is willing to go and make these conditions know maybe something can be done
This is heart breaking. It goes to show that spending a lot of money on a funeral is not worth it in the end. The fact that people made off with the remains is disgusting! This is why I'm opting for cremation or aquamation when I pass. Even human composting is a better idea than this. I am in mortuary school and we talk a lot about how everyone should go green when it comes down to body disposal. It really make sense now because you don't know what is going to happen 100 or so years down the line. Its especially disgusting to know that the coffins of some of those descendants had been robbed after only 20 years of burial. I hate to think what they did with the remains but I'm sure a lot of them were sold on the dark web. Thank you Lamont for shedding light on this case.
Just plant an apple tree where I’m buried the roots will form a casket
My mom tells us she wants to be cremated. She doesn’t want something like this to happen or a flood where she might float away. And it’s more cost effective also to be cremated.
That's why u shouldn't be buried with expensive jewelry
I made it aware to go cremation but for awhile I wanted to be in a mausoleum and now that is all changed either Cremation or green burial
Oh Lamont this just makes me physically sick. The conditions, the graffiti, the exposed coffins theft, etc... Thank you for calling out the city for allowing this to happen!
Julie Loch,I agree, I'm literally crying and upset at the same time watching this,this is beyond horrible, if the city doesn't do nothing,the families of these people should call on the government, but even then,may not get nothing done,they should be ashamed of theyself,what if this was one of they loved ones,how would they feel🤬😥
Tweekers were chilling in there you can tell.
I appreciate you helping to bring this to light for those of us who had no idea this happens. I struggle to understand, in a country where we have so many requirements on us, that these operators do not have some sort of state guarantee corporation that takes over if it cannot be maintained. This is not a difficult problem to prevent. These should not be treated the same as an old barn, left to fall down if the farmer can’t afford to keep it up. We owe our dead better than this.
I usually skip around to the highlights on exploration videos like this, but I really appreciate your commentary on the history of this place.
You would think that the state of something like that would take over until" because they have bodies in this building just at of the respect for them and their loved ones.. Wow! Money talks and bull sh* walks. Sad but true 😔 May they all rest in peace❤️🙏🏼❤️
This was one of the saddest videos I've seen on his channel to date. There was so much sadness in that mausoleum I could almost feel it, and the bones, just wow! I saw a teddy bear in the background as he was panning the camera, and the site of the little boy was haunting. It's a disgrace what's been allowed to happen here.
Lamont , I'v been binge watching your videos today . You've covered alot of interesting cemeteries, , moselums etc . It's nice you have some history of the individuals you highlight . I'm glad your bringing to light . . ☀️. . shameful conditions our loved ones are resting in . We seem to think that the plot or space where they're laid will be safe and cared for . Not even close is it ! . 😲 . .
Thanks Lamont for some great investigate reporting . . . 🏚️ . . 🧐 . . 🪦
I honestly think some of it is beautiful where nature is taking back over. It also shows the actual reality of time and it’s affects. Much as many would like to think they will be remembered and in a beautiful resting place forever it just isn’t the case. Time and Nature will always win in the end even if it takes a few thousand or million years and we are pretty narcissistic to think otherwise. Keep this in mind when you plan your own funerals.
I just happened to be online looking at the states local news WPRI 12, and there is a story about the crumbling Masoleum...I have never even heard of it until your video and now its on the news. Your videos do make a difference, keep up the good work.
Lamont, this is so sad to see this. People have no respect for the dead. I guess they don’t think they will be there one day. May they all Rest In Peace
How horribly sad!! It’s always about money tragically and who’s going to pay it. I have grandparents in a mausoleum in the panhandle of Texas. I go visit every month I’d not more to ensure their marker is cleaned and taken care of. Bless those poor souls that can’t Rest In Peace because no one wants to take responsibility. Thank you Lamont for giving the deceased a voice!! 🤍
Thanks for video lamont
This is an utter disgrace. I saw a news clip on this awhile ago. I realize $2.4 million is a s*** load of money, but come on. The state needs to jump and and fix immediately! It also sickens me that coffins were pulled out. As always, you did a great tour! I did subscribe to your new channel! Take care Lamont!
Yet it’s easy for a government to spent that money on refurbishments to a presidential palace or parliament building…..
Why is it always the state to take care of these problems? What about private organizations?
@@albertramos7937 I really don't know, but since the owner and his daughter are both deceased, the state or county should probably take care of this!
Gm morning Lamont and hello everyone 👋
Happy Friday!
Hello from Ohio ✌🏻
Hi 👋🏾
Sad to think how many people have been forgotten .
We had a cemetery like this in my city and inmates on work detail & landscapers with equipment went and cleaned up the cemetery. Something for that community to think about.
That’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen! Should totally be against the law and if nothing else the state of Rhode Island should pay for the removal and proper burial of these people. Total disgrace!
The Mayor of that town said that someone offered to respectfully move the bodies and bury them elsewhere for $500k, but that he cant get the financial support from the city. It's so very sad.
This situation is beyond belief. Nobody should be treated like this even though they are dead. My feeling is that a regulated fire should be set on such mausoleums and the bodies inside interred for ever. It would be a far more decent way to treat human remains than leaving them open to rot like this. Disgusting. My feeling is that while we will all be forgotten and possibly our remains neglected in time, I would far prefer to be under the ground or burned into ashes than for my human remains left out in such a place as this mausoleum for all the world to see. A case of human greed gone very wrong once again in my opinion. Also appealing to human arrogance to some extent. Nobody can be remembered for ever - nobody. Being kept intact in a mausoleum is arrogant I think. To believe that one's body/skeleton can remain for ever intact is somewhat arrogant and useless. Why would anyone wish for that?
This breaks my heart somebody needs to be done about this my heart goes out to these people who are deceased they need to do the right thing and now
This absolutely breaks my heart this is so sad
I live in the uk and have seen multiple articles about this cemetery and mausoleum over the years, this is incredibly sad they are our ancestors in there. The state the place has been allowed to get into just because people can’t agree on responsibility is shocking, makes me ashamed to be alive if this sort of thing is allowed to happen in this day and age. I wish I had the money to move them all to a nicer well kept place. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to bring more coverage to these tragic circumstances, you are a true passionate man with his heart on his sleeve, which can be seen in the videos you put out.
This is why I cremated my father ! He is here with me no one can mess with him and once I’m gone my son will keep us till he is gone !
Places like this are not for the dead, they are for those of us that grieve them.
Can you imagine spending a night alone in there?! It must be so sad to have a loved one even buried in the cemetery! Most of the crypts in the mausoleum seem to be so old there probably isn't anyone left to care.
God that is so sad and painful.
No, it wouldn't scare me to spend the night there.
It would depress me
Some seemed to have newer candles and such, a few
Imagine what a hidden camera would catch. It seems like it would be overrun by the thrill seeking and "double dog dare you" crowd. How about a public funding page for at least minimal security until it settled?
I'd do it for dirt cheap, even free if this was anywhere near me.
SMH..... THE RUINS OF THIS PLACE HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAD BEEN A LOVED ONE'S FINAL RESTING PLACE...... SO SAD. THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR LAMONT.
