Exploring an Abandoned Funeral Home with power, found rare '65 Cadillac Hearse!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- in today's exploration, we are brought to a home that a family not only once lived inside of, but worked inside of as well. The family started their funeral work in the 1940s and the business was handed down the family. The city that was once booming and thriving did not have the population it used to, forcing the building to shut down. We believe they shut their operations down in the middle 2010's.
inside we will find a fully operational embalming room, as well as multiple cars left behind, including a vintage Cadillac Hearse still inside the home. Locations like this are slightly different from other abandoned places, and with that we enter with respect as we are just documenting this portion of old America.
if you enjoy the video, please let me know by leaving a thumbs up on the video, and commenting your favorite part ! thanks for tuning in and hopefully I'll see you in the next explore! have a good day !

It reminds us that mortality is unavoidable.
Nice kitty pic!
Awesome Aesthetic from kg fam and backo
Not for me
I have so much respect for funeral directors. I do my best to have the body cleaned and well presented before they are picked up. During the worst of covid, I had the honour of doing just a fraction of the work involved because the directors were so busy and the family's wish was to have their mother well presented as soon as she passed. It really humbles me to know there are people out there doing such a wonderful job and choosing a career that gives just a sliver of peace to those going through such a difficult time. Thank you for this explore.
I have been a Funeral Director for over thirty years. I always hear people say terrible things about morticians. It is hurtful because I don't think most people understand what we actually do. You are such a thoughtful, giving the deceased patients their dignity in death. I hope your employer knows how lucky they are, to have an employee with so much integrity. Thanks for your hard work. Your comment really made my day.

Agree with you ❤
Did anyone else hear 2 other people talking? In the office
thought my mom looked like shit in the funeral home nearby me that was used for service. but she was suffering a long time from alzheimer's and had several falls. they could of at least painted her nails but they didnt they were discolored and blue. i guess it takes an artist if u want perfection..?
Cool.
As a nurse and loving all things macabre, this was one of my favorite explorations to date! Yet I never understand how these buildings, having been abandoned for years, have lights that work??
It's super weird. Even the giant hospitals that have power in some areas. Makes you wonder.
Who's paying the electric bill?
Who is paying the bill?
That embalming room tho!!!!!!!!
I am always intrigued by abandoned places that still have power.
The owner of the building tends to keep the power on so scrapers cannot steal the copper. Also depending on the geographical location so they can keep ventilation systems going to avoid damp.
@@jessicad83 Ok, but typically abandoned places are, um, abandoned, and no one has any vested interest in the dilapidated structures. That’s where I was going with my comment, the places that stand empty for years with no one coming or going besides urbex.
Another great explore! I think this is like the 2nd one I was lucky enough to catch at premier.
Great that you were able to document it before they demolish. Thank you and safe travels my friend!
Glad to see you in the live ! Thanks brad
@@DarkExploration hi
Wow, what a generous gift to people who really deserve it.
Love when a place like this still has power. Seeing it with the lights on adds so much to the atmosphere.
A weird in-between realm of abandoned and operational. Real apocalypse vibes
Seeing those 1990's trophies means the kid(s) are in their 40's now. The parents would have been in their 70's by now. Time goes way too fast.
Interesting and sad at the same time. I grew up like this in the 70's and 80's with both my parents as funeral directors. I am now a funeral director and my family and I lived upstairs in what amounts to a southern mansion with the funeral home located downstairs and the living quarters upstairs. We now own our own home, but could move back upstairs if need be. Most small family owned funeral homes are this way and I never thought of it as strange, although many of my friends did. This place was probably spectacular in its day. I would love to own the hearse and the old porcelain embalming table. Both could be easily put back into good use with little effort. I wonder what happened to the family. There are several abandoned funeral homes around the country that are similar and each is a pretty neat explore. Thanks for bringing back some good memories, even if they are a bit macabre.
I always have the strangest thoughts when I watch your videos. First, I get the glimpse into the lives of people who once lived in these places daily often long ago in a time pretty much forgotten. Then I always wonder what happens to all this stuff left behind. All the things we own are one day going to be wanted by no one as there are new shinier things available. Such as shame all the resources and materials once wanted just discarded into a landfill.
Loved that old hearse but I have to say, that embalming room was so creepy. Just watching it on video it was difficult, so I can totally understand why you would be so creeped out by it. The upstairs suite was quite nice but there is no way I could ever live up there, knowing what is downstairs. The cabinet was so beautiful. I am really surprised that there is still electricity throughout. Great explore, thanks so much for sharing. I can certainly understand why this one would have been difficult. Stay safe
Me 2 I'd love to have a hearse like that restored 😮
Man, I would love to have those old hanging art deco light fixtures. They don't make anything like that anymore. Even that lounge couch was a real piece of artistic history.
Art deco is the best
I'm intrigued as to the back story behind this. It looks like the occupants got out in a hurry, and were starting some renovations a little earlier. Plans must have fell through on some deal or something but that hearse HAS to be pretty valuable. I can't imagine leaving that beautiful gem behind. Good video!
Excellent video. It went from sombre and eerie, to pretty and cosy. Seeing the children's toys and the upstairs living quarters lightened the scene. There are so many antique items in that place ; that beautiful wooden and glass cabinet alone would be very expensive. Thank goodness, as you mentioned that the glass panels have not been vandalised. When I saw another set of stairs going up, it's then that I understood how magnificent this house is. I hope that the living quarters can be restored. The embalming room below could be converted into a great entertainment area with snooker table, bar, Xbox computer games, wide screen TV. I'm not saying this in a disrespectful way, but it could be utilised really well.
I like anything 1930s 1940s 1950s abandoned. :D
The crane in the embalming lab is used to lift bodies off the embalming table to dressing tables then caskets. I interned for a funeral home for three years and have two associates in funeral service.
Do the bodies just hang down from the bar or are they stiff?
@@lnelson5704 staps go underneath them and it hoist them up. They are stiff due to the embalming process.
Thanks for a fascinating exploration journey, I like how respectful you are when looking around and taking time to try and find out any history of the site. Love to know what happened to the original people and what will eventually become of the property. Such a large building and so many rooms plus the power is still connected! Hopefully noone will trash the place.
This was probably one of your most creepiest explorations yet, I can only imagine what it must have felt like in there not even to think about the other senses that also will be kicking in. This was amazing. Blessings and be safe man 😎
It definitely is very creepy but didn't have the feelings you'd think, this business didn't close to malpractice or anything so maybe that makes it less spooky idk lol
I could live there because I'm not a scared of the dead or afterlife
It looks like at one time this business/home was gorgeous. I would think that trying to sell this place would be hard. To much money to redo. It always makes me very angry that medical records and papers were left behind. The attic was very interesting. This is a very sad story from what's left. Thanks so much for showing this creepy place.
I agree, this was one of the best. It’s so strange to see a place like this semi operational. Devin, it certainly adds a very different feeling and I’m lovin it. I can only imagine how it felt being there. Thanks for the content!
THE WIGS TOTALLY WIGGED ME OUT😳
The hanging matching hall lamps are wonderful and look to be 1920's.
This is very sad the energy just watching it is extremely sad. No words only tears.
Same..I quit watching around 15 min.
I love the attic! House looks like a 1920's house...prior to the Great Depression of 1929.
Thank you Devin !🤗 🙏
It's very interesting place ! 👍💯😇
I just love funeral homes and what a beautiful looking hears in the garage there I myself can't wait to be inside one thanks for sharing this video my friend 😁👍
The Ninja turtle by the way was Raphael (at least the bandana look red).
Funeral homes can be wonderful places with history. There's a local funeral home down the street from need that was converted into a brewery. It is super cool to see all the rooms and know which ones were for viewings
Excellent find as always ! Thank you 😊
i'd be so hesitant to touch things in the embalming room lol kudos to you
I always wore my gloves when I picked up things in that room lol
4:15 The chuck e cheese doll is haunting. Makes me think it was for a deceased child.
Was expecting more comments about that. Really creepy
Always love your videos!
Well done again, Devin!
Devin another great video as ALWAYS ❤️
That was a nice find. Thank you.
Yuck!!! Drained blood!! Super creepy place!! Great explore!!! You were so calm thank goodness 🙏🥰🥰🥰
Great video as always! The location was definitely something else. I just hope you washed your hands very very well after that ❤
Beautiful and beautiful hearse ❤
That is one clean hearse.Super cool.
This was a great find, so interesting. Thanks for sharing 😊
As always another terrific video 👍
YAY ANOTHER EXPLORING VIDEO, can you some to Virginia please? There are quite a few abandoned places here all around my state, you are my inspiration to explore abandoned buildings and houses
You found my dream car!
Love the madballz in the toy box!
when our local funeral home moved to a new building, a family bought the old one and remodeled it into a house.like you said, that would creep me out! sad part is a few years later it burned to the ground and one of the daughters died in the fire
I love the old Cadillac I believe it's a 1966, I also love the old cabinet and bathroom lights.
Enjoyed ❤
It definitely seems like the family business ended with grandad. Looks like he married, had kids and raised them here in the 80's/90's. Seems like when the kids became adults themselves they left granddad to continue on without them while they lived their own lives & raised their own family. I say granddad bc it seems like a single man had been on his own here, possibly working until the very end from the way the morgue still had items out like they'd just been used "yesterday." It's sad to think that perhaps the kids came by to say hi to him and instead found him collapsed somewhere in the home, perhaps in the process of one final job. Looks like they tried to restore the place, realized it was a money sink or that perhaps there were too many memories here and just left it to rot.
I would have goose bumps the whole time I was in there 😱😱😨😨
Wow, very interesting! Thanks so much for sharing. You do an amazing job! 🤍🖤🤍☮️
Keeeeeeeeep going dude. I love watching. ❤
Wow. Well done.
Wow that hearse would be perfect for
My Band REAL GONE CADDY !!!

Satisfying video it must be fun exploring a little bit of the darkside
I liked this as you said “ was a bit different “
Thanks for the video
Notification are on bro
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
I don’t usually enjoy abandoned stuff from the USA 🇺🇸 but somehow you have peaked my interest.
Happy Easter 🐣

Kindest regards

A very nice explore thnx.
loved it thanks..:)
My daughter works at a funeral home. She has worked every aspect of the industry, and is now a crematorium operator. She said that embalming was the toughest job, and prefers not to do it. Some day in the near future, we hope to purchase a funeral home so we can demo parts of the inside and turn it into a home for us to live in. I know it sounds morbid, but I don’t fear death at all.
I set this on a loop 5 times to give you watch time. Good weekend
Nice video, looking great man
Pretty cool
First things first
Checking out this hearse
I might be thinking of a different funeral home, but this one looks familiar to one that was involved in a murder...another video story, maybe the "Forensic Files"? But a cool house - imagine playing with those toys with the embalming stuff going on downstairs. And that beautiful Cadillac!
I wouldn't mind riding in the hearse just as long as it's in the front seat.
Very creepy place. I actually had that dual cassette stereo system. LOL One could probably still make a few hundred off just the toys, alone. Thanks for sharing.
Royal Copenhagen cologne! Nice
Beautiful China cabinet and nice light fixtures.
Wooowwwww!! 😮
I desperately needed a place to live in 2007. Someone told me about an upstairs apartment but added it had been a funeral home. Not today Satan.
A funeral home is not where the person died. Why wouldn’t you want to live there? The only thing to be vaguely concerned about would be embalming chemical residue.
@@jena.alexia I know right? It’s a little silly. I would live above a funeral home if it was a nice apartment and I could afford the rent.
@@Spilledperfume1 You have to do what feels right for you. I guess I'm just not that phased by funeral homes. The dead body is only there for a short time. I find hospitals far more creepy. My mum was a nurse and saw many ghosts. She hated taking the bodies down to the morgue though. She said the guy in charge was like Lurch. 😂
I guess you never heard of a Haunting in Connecticut? True story of the Snedeker family! It’s on RUclips!
Vintage toys 👍
super 👍😀
Urbex and chill did a video here like 6 mo ths ago. They missed alot of what you showed. Neat
Excellent video b about this funeral home I'm embalming I used to prepare buddies for funeral I am also I am it's excellent room
Sure you did! Uh-huh!
I don't know if you guys ever get out to the Oregon coast but there are a couple cool places to explore out there: 1) Battery Russell at Ft. Stevens State Park (Hammond, Ore.), which is what is left of a military base built in the early 1900s; 2) A whole network of tunnels running underneath Astoria, Ore., which can be accessed by places like the Voodoo Lounge; 3) Fort Columbia State Park (Chinook, Wash.), which is right across the Columbia River from Astoria, that has another structure very similar to Battery Russell and a bunch of early 1900s military structures too.
It would probably be helpful to visit a funeral home that’s in business to learn more about what they do. While I realize that it’s not for everyone once you’ve met someone that owns a funeral home and how respectful they are of the deceased and their families it’s not that creepy. When they built a funeral home on the corner of where I lived my sister and I met the owners sons and their friends and they were all very nice. They all worked for the funeral home in some capacity and none of it was creepy.
I casually dated one of the sons who owned the funeral home by that point and his apt was above the old funeral home that had been turned into a dance studio. The funeral home was beautiful and so was the apt above the dance studio.
It’s all about perspective.
Man, I'd love to own that old hearse.
❤❤❤❤❤
Those wigs!! 😁
Brill!
SOMEONE ISN’T DEAD UNTIL EVERYONE FORGETS THEM !
Surprised that there are dangerous chemicals just sitting around. Someone needs to call the EPA before some kids get a hold of them.
I’ve been waiting for this one everyone else has posted there’s even Dan bell has posted his
whoa
I’ve been a licensed funeral director and embalmer forty years. If you have questions, let me know.
Both the funeral homes in my hometown had the families living upstairs. My sister babysat for one but I don’t remember her getting creeps out when there was a body downstairs. I sure would have.
💙
That 1965 caddy left to rot is a shame . I love to have that thing
I have that same Dyson vacuum cleaner lol
No doubt at some point in time people were just dying to get in there !
I hope the cadillac goes to a good home
The miniature VW bug car was cool. You should've investigated that one more.
This was a great hidden gem you found
Strange how much stuff got left behind!
We all visit one dayl
I'm surprised a funeral home has been abandoned, it's not like people quit dying.
Oooh where is this place. I'd love to buy that hearse!
There's so many people that are just dieng to get in this place.😮
