Wow! Very interesting, as usual! Thanks Kari 💜
Most cemeteries require embalming before placing the deceased in a mausoleum wall crypt, with an emphasis on *most*. One of my FB friends is a licensed FD, and embalmer. She commented on a video of mine about one time she directed a mausoleum interment for someone whose body was not embalmed, so, yes, there are exceptions.
Side note: She recalls the stench, and a swarm of flies following them into the mausoleum.
Yes not embalming leads to oozing and smell
Nope. No embalming, simple shroud, directly into the earth. My choice for disposing of my earth vessel when my SOUL moves out of it.
So? Keep it to yourself!
So no "green" funeral in a mausoleum?
Ya learn something new everyday! Thanks Ms. Kari for the info.
Good morning Kari. I always learn something new on your channel! ❤👋
Mausoleum- apartments for the dead.
I'm going to donate my body to science fiction.
You and Caitlyn Doughty make the funeral process interesting.😮😅😊
Or just get cremated and avoid all that messy stuff. Lol
Yep - neat and tidy……..👍
Hi Kari, I knew about the casket bags, but not about the trays, very interesting and informative! You mentioned how you can have mausoleum for one or two people out on the cemetery lawn, what do you call the ones that are for entire families on the cemetery lawn?
Family mausoleum. One or 2 are called lawn crypts. I know in the midwest a single lawn crypt price starts above $20K. Price varies on the type of granite, lettering, etc. I don't recall if the price includes the concrete base which is usually at least 36 inches deep below the ground surface for it to sit on. A family mausoleum a monument salesman showed me a picture of locally and I don't recall the number of crypts and it was over $1 milllion done in the least expensive grey granite.
No thanks, laying in the ground inside a coffin that cost a fortune with 1000 pounds of cement, metal and plastic after being pumped full of dangerous chemicals that go leaking into the ground water of the local neighborhood is not for me. Nor is being stuck into a wall cubbyhole to turn into goo to collect in a plastic bag. I prefer you "burn me and urn me". Much cheaper compared the other two solutions. It's also less polluting and you can go home with your loved ones...albeit in a jar.
When my dad passed from covid-19 back in January 2021, many funeral homes were either full or not taking ANY covid related deaths. When we talked to a family friend in the funeral home business, I asked the funeral director about dropping off my dad’s suit and he told me, “I’m sorry but we can’t.” “We have families and employees of our own that we have to protect.” “There are also state rules and regulations that were mandated by the gov of PA and city of Philadelphia, we have to follow.” He told me, “No suit, no embalming, must be closed casket and only 10-15 people allowed in the funeral parlor.” He went on to tell me that we had to buy a specially lined and sealed casket. And if We wanted to put pictures or anything in with him , that I needed to bag the items & bring them to the funeral home. He said they would be wearing hazmat suits & PPE from head to toe. When they picked up my dad, they would put the items in with him and close the casket and lock it forever. I have so many questions. Like, how do I know that I buried my dad and not someone else? It was a closed casket! They never embalmed my dad. Did they used these same methods with covid deaths like my father? How come I didn’t see a bag over the casket the day of the viewing / burial? These are the things that a lot of families had to deal with behind the scenes from COVID many don’t know about or even hear about. The fact that I’m still not over what I saw and the everything leading up to my fathers death and now, haunts me everyday.
I can absolutely understand why you would feel that way, being able to see your loved one before the casket is closed makes in final.
My Big Brother died in 2024. He is in a wall crypt, (he was cremated. ) designed for his wifes casket. BUT she was cremated..QUESTION: How many cremated URNS can be place in this space?I am the youngest sister💙.can i pay and rest with them?
The cemetery will dictate the quantity. You could without any limitations place dozens really stacked in a crypt meant for a casket
If you have to put a casket into a bag before you place the body in the crypt, then the whole mausoleum set up is faulty. If anything, the casket is placed on a tray before it is placed into the crypt in order to catch the liquid that might eat through the casket over time.
Very good video Miss.
I thought the crypts were slightly angled for fluids to run backwards into something?
Some might and others may have a center drain. Depends on who/how it was built.
I have a lifesize wax figure of myself ( head and above the chest are hollow, forearms with hands made of bees / Carnauba wax . The rest of the body is fiberglass mannequin body. Is there any law against this being in the metal casket in an indoor wall crypt ? Plan to just have my ashes in a container in the casket. I want my wax figure to stay forever .
That is interesting
@@KaritheMortician I figured in the far future when people open the wall crypts or if they get damaged overtime that my wax figure will be in tack and not melted. It will be a mystery to future humans to find.
It appears that there is just no great way to get rid of the body. Coming into the world is messy too, but I mean...
Moat mausoleums are very smelly inside
:)
Hi, ms. Kari! I would like to know what kind of bonebag material are using of american undertaker for bone exhumation? Thanks for your response.
So basically a bed liner and a big zip lock. Wrap me up in a sheet and bury me deep enough the critters don't dig me up. Or not, I don't care I'm dead.
Thanks KARI as always you give us many interesting information about things that could happen when caskets are put in mausoleums and how to avoid them happening! Love watching you ❤❤❤from AKRON, OHIO
This is so interesting ive heard about them but not so in depth thank you Kari
Oooooo shake and bake bag for grandma edna ......🙀👍🥰🤣😊
If you are cremating do you have to embalm
Can you tell about Natural burials. Thanks
Oh, and, don’t forget to cover Mausoleum Beads!
I don't have to worry cause I'm gonna be roasted and toasted .
Good faith question: why would anyone do this?
To keep the integrity of the casket and the mausoleum
@@drewwise5966 Yeah not to mention the odor contained somewhat. There wouldn't be enough electrical plugins for those scented plugins.
And I learned more from you

Bodies leak, turn into soup in mausoleum
That’s what many people want you to think, not really the truth. Just where the body has purged or pressure in the casket has built up causing the lid to pop “casket explosion”. This is can what causes leakage, the ooze one may see on a mausoleum wall at times. Most cemeteries are very good about cleaning this up and tending to the crypt that is leaking.
@@drewwise5966once one is embalmed, I should think casket exploding and such would be extremely rare.
I won’t mention the company name, as they are a major casket company. What I like about this company is the fact that they include a tray in the bottom of their caskets, which help in collecting bodily fluids.
Is it Batesville?
@@drewwise5966 Yes, but you mentioned their name…LOL!!!
Thanks for the info
Kari, great job as usual. I have a couple questions just out of curiosity. I live across from a Funeral Home. They keep the bodies in a cooler in a garage, I assume they do all the preparation in the garage as well. One day, I watched a lady just over 5 feet tall with an average build bringing in a body removing the gurney from the van. The deceased was very large. As the Funeral Director was pulling the gurney from the the van, the gurney started to tip and she struggled to keep the gurney upright. After about a minute of struggle to get the gurney back in the van for her to try again. On the second try, she stood on the bumper of the the van and pulled fast and hard, I thought she was going to end up under the gurney that time, but succeeded without dropping the body. I thought about going over and asking if I could assist her, would I have been allowed to assist her? Also, I was wondering, if she would have dropped the body on the ground, could she have called 9-1-1 to assist her to pick up the body and do you think that the authorities would have helped her pick up the body? Or would she have to get help from another Funeral Director?
Good info.
✨Thank you for that interesting two minutes of information, Ms Beautiful Kari,❤ you have a wonderful day 🌹🌿
My father's Walnut Wood Casket was placed on a plastic tray before it was slid into his manicipal mausoleum crypt.
More valuable info thanks Kari,regards to you and Josh from ballarat in Oz,🙏🙏👋👋👍🇦🇺
Good stuff kari....wrapped my sister in laws casket in clear wrap with tray underneath
So very cool❤
FYI Illiana Headstone Care on YT has been doing some great video's on cemetery vaults. Interesting how that is set up and closed as well as some of the situations that arise in a cemetery. He also on the side does monument cleaning.
I remember seeing this done to both my Father and Mother’s caskets. I assumed that’s what it was for.
For all that gooey body slime and juice.
👍
It's all in the bag The bag Man is at it again
Keep up the good work. Love you hon.
That was interesting!
I am horrified of death…wish you could;d help me
I was too, don’t think about the very end as you take your last breath and when you think about being dead just think there is either something cool after death like heaven or it’s going to feel like it did before you were born which is nothing, you won’t feel at all. Don’t worry 😊
Do the bags come in Gain scent or Chanel #5? OMG think of the marketing potential there.
I am going into the wall at Spring Grove. I had to good funeral planner who went step by step and you. The only question is he had to hand me a price list before we went to see the caskets
All this plastic cant be good for the enviroment
OH MY GOD ! I've got contact retardation now just from reading that ! It's in a sealed crypt full of bodily fluids which makes the bag the safest thing in there ! You must be a biden supporter, please stay home this November biden has enough dead people votes the retarded can refrain this time around
