    On today's episode, I'm taking you inside one of the first African-American-owned funeral homes in the South.
    This establishment not only claims the title of one of the county's most timeworn funeral parlors but also holds the distinction of being the trailblazer in offering burial service to African Americans.
    During an era when segregation loomed large across the South, this Funeral Home emerged as a beacon of hope for African Americans. In the 1920s and 1930s, the owners of this funeral home, both college-educated, ventured into the mortuary business. Their journey was more than a career choice; it was a rare opportunity for African American men to rise above the limited professional options imposed by segregation. They not only mastered the art of mortuary services but also advocated for education and dignity within their community.
    In a society where segregation dictated one's profession, this funeral home stands as a symbol of achievement. It honors the courage of those who, armed with education and determination, carved out spaces of respect and success within a segregated society. This historic funeral home not only serves as the final resting place for many but also as a testament to the strides taken by African American entrepreneurs in shaping their destiny amidst adversity. Unfortunately, changes in the town's community and economic shifts lead to the closing of the funeral home. Now everything remains frozen time. So, let's step inside and see what we can dig up from a bygone era.

      The plastic looking circular object was most likely for flowers for the funerals, the "stone like" object is for the flowers to be stuck in. Love your videos

    One thing you should consider in your walk-throughs is wearing latex gloves at a minimum and an N-95 mask, because you never know what you're inhaling, especially in some of the older and more advanced decayed locations.

    I agree with Kim that you ought to contact someone so families can get their remains! I wasn’t going to watch this one because funeral homes make me very sad, but I decided to because I’m trying to become a stronger person❤

    Former funeral director here... the lift we never used to transfer to the embalming table but to transfer into the casket since the decedent has to go over and down. In reference to the cremains you'd be surprised how many families don't want them, are contacted numerous times and don't pick them up. It's sad but very likely in a lot of these cases. Being so much later there may be other family members that want them now but legally after the next of kin is the only one that can claim them so other family members probably assume they did. I'm not sure what if any legalities would have to be considered now.

    The spear thing on the table is a trocar. It’s hooked up to the tubing of the embalming machine. It pierces organs and removes waste by suctioning, and can distributes fluids also.

    You totally missed the white bassinet up on the shelf that they would use to transport babies instead of using a large gurney or to put them in for a wake instead of a casket. A special touch most funeral home will do.
    Also, sometimes the decedent was a awful person (like a pedo)and the family doesn't want their ashes so they don't pick them up.

    As I've said on other funeral videos why in the world would anyone subject their lived ones to being pumped full of chemicals and all the things embalmers do to preserve a body....the funeral industry is such a rip off its not funny.
    People are apparently convinced that this is the way to treat their loved ones. It truly is a tragedy

    The families probably couldn’t afford to pay for it. That’s why they’re still left there. If they could ever afford it, they would’ve already picked up the remains.

      Even if you want to be buried you do not have to be embalmed. It's a money making exercise for them. In Holland it is banned for burials as they do not want the fluid leaking out from corpses going into the ground.

    SIR YOU NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT THESE PLACES THEY DID NOT SUCK YOUR GUTS OUT. YOUR ORGANS ARE TAKEN OUT BY CUTTING . PUT INTO A PLASTIC BAG AND PUT INTO YOUR CHEST CAVITY BEFORE THEY EVEN GET TO THE FUNERAL HOME. SO YOU REALLY NEED TO DO YOUR HOME WORK BEFORE YOU START LEADING PEOPLE ON WITH THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT. THE BLOOD IS DRAINED OUT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE FUNERAL HOME USUALLY. THE MACHINE IS TO PUMP THE EMBALMING FLUID INTO THE BODY. IF YOU TALK TO A REAL FUNERAL HOME THAT IS RUNNING YOU WILL DISCOVER THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY REMAINS THAT THE FAMILY NEVER PICK
    UP. PEOPLE JUST DON'T BOTHER PICKING THEM UP WHEN THEY WHERE TOLD THEY WOULD BE READY ON A CERTAIN DATE.

    • @denisebuchalski9104
      @denisebuchalski9104 9 дней назад +3

      The organs are only removed if an autopsy is done at the morgue prior to being transferred to the funeral home. They are placed in the abdominal cavity. The blood is not drained during autopsy and therefore needs to be done as part of the embalming process.

    I enjoyed your video. My only suggestion is when you come to funeral homes. A lot of the information you are giving pertaining to equipment in the preparation room is incorrect. A lot of the things you are saying are incorrect and I would suggest that. You know you get information from an actual funeral service professional? So when you narrate your videos, you're giving the right information because a lot of the things you're saying, regarding equipment and what have you and what it's used for and how it's used is absolutely incorrect.
