Seeing these neglected graves of ppl who were once moverse and shakers show that with time we are ALL FORGOTTEN😢😢
Don't be disceived no matter who you hear or see make big speech at one's funeral after awhile you are worth nothing to them worse if your immediate love ones are passed too. Anchor your life in God that tho your flesh be destroyed you have hope in Him.
Now you know everything in this life is vanity. You were born with nothing and will die with nothing... All the fancy things and expensive things will all mean nothing. The only thing that matters in this life is if you lived a life pleasing to your maker
Alot of these people seem to be long forgotten.
May they continue to R.I.P.
You're not doing any harm to anyone.
A Cemetery is a open place & a place for everyone to be able to go & walk around & read the headstones.
If family wanted the graves private from the public, then they wouldn't be buried in a Cemetery for all to see.
Keep up the good work.
In USA cemeteries are closed at a certain time because you have people desecrate the dead and destroy the Graves those people are heartless and you will be arrested if caught the cemetery is clean in May Pen if I was living out there I would love to see it may their soul rest in peace I give you thumbs up good job ❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank for remembering those who gone on before by keeping their memories alive. They will always be a part of history.❤

Bro, you are one in a million
That was a huge respect to cover that dead
You are greatly blessed.
So true
The living is more dangerous than the dead.
Continue the superb work. We appreciate it. Just be careful. Carry a protective glove and a tool to clear graves or walking path. Be safe in all you do.
Great advice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
You are bringing enlightenment to us sir
We can not depent on Public works or gov to clean up the cemeteries in JA. We have to do it out self and archive our historical past. They gave the land, luckily, they did not take it back. Gov have no loyalties to anyone/things. We are the only one who love to go to funerals but, don’t preserve and respect our ancestors memories. Go to Bottom road in Mobay in the smack of the tourist center; between 2 major and popular hotels; there is a Jewish cemetery this space is sacred, respected and maintained to preserved their ancestor’s memories and their records that, they will never forget.
MayPen cemetery, is the only place that, we can associate with, to educate us, to our truth, and of our loved ones and of our past.
My God mother is buried there, Daizy Scott. She is buried at the front of the cemetery
Thanks for doing this video. The last time I was there was in 1983 for my great grandmother funeral.
Place of my mother’s burial ground may 1976 RIP Mom you were a Beautiful loving mother . Brother it’s not the dead that can hurt it’s the living walking around with evil hearts
Thank you bro for covering the u that casket it's disgraceful that people don't have any respect for the dead or the living Although seeing maypen cemetery bring back sad memories for me l thank you for the video you see my mom was buried there whenl was a child l was hoping that l could build her tomb when l became an adult never get to and never even remember the sight l still remembered how sad and helpless l was 1:03:29
Thank you for covering that man up in his grave.
Such a sad state for him to be left in.
I hit the like thumb. You have a gut to be walking in the cemetery, brushing n reading the dead people business 😢 they must be smiling. Somebody remember them
Good job.
The dead know nothing only the living
Read those names that u can see
@@boyyobppkeep deceiving yourself
@@HauteChick enlighten me please... Do you believe the dead continues to know what's happening among the living?
Thank you for the respect shown to that cadaver in the open grave.🙏🏼blessings my son . Amazing video, great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✝️
Some family spent thousands of dollar to buried their love one but never returned or paid anyone for the upkeep of the graves
As a child my friends and I used to go there and pickup plums. Also sometime even takes a nap. It was always so cool in that cemetery.
Those were called duppy plums. A lot of lignum vitae trees used to be there as well.
Yes I use to hang out there in the 70s. Those were the good old days. Those days are over
My brother thank you for this channel am learning history from your great work ❤❤
Thank you my dear bro for showing me around this May Pan Cemetery
Maypen*
I think they should and keep the cemeteries in Jamaican 🇯🇲 more tidy they have got no respect for the dead 💀 not even the living SIR highlighting these Jamaican 🇯🇲 cemeteries very well BLESS you Sir.
You should wear a gloves
I am watching can we all put up a little go fund asking all the people of Jamaica to put up a $500 and we could cleaned up all the cemetery they are our love one o my god
I was thinking the same thing
I think the government needs to address this problem, how can you have Graves exposing like this, and humans remains exposed!
I’ve been binge watching your videos. While I am not from Jamaica, I have learned so much lately about the country and your videos have lead me to do some more research on the music, people and places there. Keep up the good work, and do be careful out there 🙂! Such a shame that May Pen cemetery has gotten into such a state of disrepair. Hopefully one day work can be done to clean it up and that the records can be organized for families who might be interested in looking up records of their relatives and might want to visit the graves of family members. Anyway, I look forward to your next video.
Edit: Wow, “disrepair” is an understatement! That poor man was left uncovered to the elements. That is horrible!
I had to recant my comment it's not every where is well kept I saw a lot of weeds yes the dead cannot do anything only the living yes may God keep you safe and don't use your bare hands to touch those Graves ok just be careful this is gruesome to see this man like that someone grave robbers did that maybe the family scared to visit 😢May Pen not quiet at all that's what I heard but this young man have a brave heart ♥ take care and may God protect u all the way 🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
If you want to learn about Jamaica come to Jamaica, learn about our country
)ssss😊
You are one brave black man respect to you my boss
That me seh to cause a dangerous place him deh
Nobody will trouble you people are in the cemetery right through the day people even live in there
Have to try n loud up the government to maintain the cemetery for its their responsibility. Splendid work friend n remember if we bring this issue publicly the government will act. From the over grow bushes to the destroyed grave,what a shame.
That was nice that you covered the open casket.
Oh my Lord, you are doing a great job. Please be careful.
Hi you are doing a great job by taking us with you to the cemeteries.. I would be afraid you are very brave. Keep up the good work. God bless you.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Sometimes it's subsidence that makes the ground drop down .I have seen it where my mother is buried .
Don't be afraid of the dead they cannot hurt you. The had did their time here on earth regardless of how some may die. They are resting peacefully. Only living things has power.❤
May Pen cemetery was an official cemetery but it needs to be kept more tidy a lot of work need to be done down there.
Back in the day. Some high officials are buried there. But the gunman them take it over.
The Jamaican Government is responsible to maintain that cemetery. All them do is take money and get rich
@@anthonycgardner7774Dam wukliss
So sad. Look how no one is there to clean up and respect the loss one. Community should clean up and honor. 😢😢😢😢
I totally agree with you. The cemetery badly needs some work. Seems like the CEO of the cemetery needs to have the Ja Gov't repair & maintain the grounds of all public cemeterys.
Finally a Jamaican grave channel...🎉🎉 I only knew of the american cemetry vloggers
My Great Grandmother is buried there. When we went to locate her grave we couldn’t find it as someone had stole the masonry (cross & Bible) from on top of it.
Great video….it’s a shame such an iconic piece of Jamaica history is neglected like this.
Many times I’ve driven past and seen people “living” in there. Government should do something or implement community service to help maintain it.
All my relatives are berried there after 33years thanks for the visit and keep up the good work it brings back memories to me.
Those are the lest fortunate graves😢
Just be very careful some of those grave were just dirt no concrete
THIS MAN IS A LEGEND - I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE SO COMFORTABLE IN A CEMETRY. THIS MAN HAS NO FEAR OF DUPPY .
I am nervous watching you walking in the cemetery with all those broken tombs , even if I had company I don't think I would be walking there .
Honestly I was worried about his safety for other reasons. He is one brave person because that place is historically notorious for things other than it being the infamous May Pen Cemetery.
Hey, I am not scared of the dead. I'm afraid of the living
Me worst, nay na go
I've been in a car driving past it but will never go in there
Keep up your great work my friend
Thanks for showing the May Pen cemetery my father was buried there when I was a child l don't know where exactly I attended the funeral but did not know what year he was born his name was John Ivory it was around January 1971 that's all I can remember. Him and my mother were not living together at the time.
Thanks..I think the Jamaican Government should be doing something to maintain the graves.
It's really bad for Jamaican history
You are a brave man I could not do that keep up the great work Mr brave
You are one brave man. I am from Trench Town and grew up there, frequent Tivoli Gardens. My uncle was buried at that cemetary in the 1970s, however base on what you said I will not find him. I enjoyed your video as I am fascinated with the dead. You would never catch me in that cemetary however, you could not pay me to go in there. That is a criminal hide out spot and all those open graves. It is too spookie.
You did a fantastic job considering the conditions of the graves .🙏🏼thank you for taking us on the journey my friend ✝️✝️✝️
This is so sad how that corpse was left exposed to the element.
Jamaica chapter you cover your self with the blood of Jesus in that place.
Came across the channel an hour ago. Lovely raw footage. Just some additional information about the May Pen Cemetery. It actually was named after the Chinese family called May. They had given the land up for the cemetery to be erected there. So just gave this info, for those who might be wondering if it had any relations to the May Pen, in Clarendon.
Thank you for this information
Thanks for info, is the May family still going strong in JA? First time hearing about them.
@@dantez2430 I'm not too sure.
Not true! May pen cemetery is centuries old and no Chinese have land! 🔥
All i know you are a very brave youngman ...love what you doing but i couldn't do this
My grandfather is there 🙏🏼R.I.P. ❤papa 🤲
Buried my dad there October 1987 the following year was hurricane Gilbert so i didntt get to put the head stone on by the time things had cleared up and got back to normal my dad grave disappeared. So the head stone is now in my back yard in Jamaica.
Thanks my friend for your great bravery.
Very glad to have seen this. Saved me a trip. Eye opening!
Thank you for what you are doing.
Much props to you bro for taking the time out to do this video. This was definitely an eye opening experience. You did a amazing job.
Good God Mr salmon after leaving that cemetery please go to the local government office and let them known of the condition of some the cemeteries u visits the state that they r in its ashame for people in foreign to see how horrible the resting place of those dearly departed r living in ,we know they have no lives anymore but the place must be highly maintain people need space to walk when they're visiting love ones and when doing funerals please post those pictures that the prime minister can see it and start to do something it's not looking good Kingston is the nation capitol and their cemetery has become a woodland shame shame shame 😔
Yes Indeed someone needs to let the government sort this issue out, I’m watching from England in disbelief 😮
Absolutrly deplorable😢
Your channel is a national and international treasure. Tuning in from 🇺🇸 ❤
Love the work general go to calvary cemetery next plz
The government need to get the cemetery clean up
BLESS-UP 'MI 'BREDDAH👍
I AM A BORN AND RAISED BLACK AMERICAN THAT GREW UP AROUND ALOT OF JAMAICANS.
I VISITED J.A. RECENTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND STAYED IN "THE GHETTO" FOR MY WHOLE STAY OF ALMOST ONE MONTH.
LOVED IT, AND IT WAS ALL MANNERS AND RESPECT. ❤
I STAYED IN "WALTHAM-PARK" RIGHT OFF THE MAIN ROAD (W.P. ROAD).
I USED TO PASS MAY PEN CEMETERY DAILY WHEN HEADED INTO TOWN, AND TO CORONATION MARKET.
IT'S CRAZY HOW YOU DID THIS VIDEO AND I SAW IT, BECAUSE I WANTED TO VISIT "JIM BROWN'S" GRAVE, AND PAY RESPECT TO THE "DON OF DONS". 🙏
I NEVER GOT TO THOUGH BECAUSE I WAS WARNED ABOUT THE TIVOLI GUYS HIDING GUNS IN THERE, AND NERVOUS ABOUT STRANGE FACES.
I WAS ADVISED TO HIRE A GUIDE FROM TIVOLI, BUT THEN WARNED THAT THE GUIDE MAY STILL ROB YOU ONCE INSIDE AND OUT OF VIEW !! 😃
ANYWAY...I JUST FORGOT ABOUT THE IDEA. 🤔
ANYWAY...FOR THE RECORD, I USED TO WALK THROUGH SPANISH TOWN ROAD PASS THE CEMETERY ON THAT SIDE OF TIVOLI ALL THE TIME, AND AT NIGHT AS WELL.
I WOULD WALK FROM CORONATION ALL THE WAY TO DENHAM-TOWN POLICE STATION...AND NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE, NOR DID I SEE ANYONE ELSE BECOME A VICTIM OF "CRIME".
IF SOMEONE GOT CAUGHT UP IN SOMETHING, THERE WAS USUALLY A STORY BEHIND IT.
IN OTHER WORDS...THEY WERE DOING DIRT TOO !! 🤔
BUT OTHERWISE...IT WAS ALWAYS MANNERS AND RESPECT.👍
COMING FROM AMERICA...MAY PEN CEMETERY IS AMAZING, BECAUSE OF THE STATUES AND MOTORBIKES ON THE GRAVES !! 😮
THE PAINTINGS ON THE GRAVES ARE ALSO AMAZING.
NOTHING LIKE THAT COULD BE SEEN IN AMERICAN CEMETERIES. 🙏
JAMAICANS REALLY SEND OFF THEIR LOVED ONES IN STYLE.
I WAS TRULY IMPRESSED.👍
MUCH RESPECT TO YOU 'BREDDAH...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU, AND STAY SAFE. 🙏
I HIT THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON FOR YOU TOO. 😃👍
Finally. Thank You for doing it
Some work was done on that cemetery but its obvious it needs the army wìth some inmates and some volunteers even the churches and schools
ALL public cemeteries in Jamaica need that action. The Municipality for each parish has fallen down on the job. Only Meadowrest and Dovecot and some of the church cemeteries look decent
Jah know if I die and they bury me in that cemetery I will find some way to run away
To rahtid. Me see u a run already😂😂😂
I’m not entirely sure but most countries have a level of care for grounds you would think apply to the most important grounds such as local parks and cemeteries to keep them looking respectable for visitation. Jamaica needs to create Jobs on the island to help the situation, people are in need of work and I can’t understand why the government over looks simple issues like this
I’m absolutely appalled by watching this it’s truly shocking, I had no idea that there is no up keep I also have family laid at rest in may pen cemetery I’d hate to think…. God almighty! 🙏🏾 Keep doing your work my brother I’m learning so much from your uploads 🙏🏾
Enjoy your life when you still can you take nothing with you when you go
Hello I like the trip that you are taking us through the cemetery,
Thanks big brother for that video
Wow! So interesting! I’ve heard of May Pen Cemetery but never been and don’t want to either. You’re a really brave man! No fear! 😨
Good day I'm enjoying watching these video's, I watch Lamont in America he does this. I do this in London when I'm visiting family and friend's. I would be scared doing it in Jamaica, to many bad men bury over there. They really don't look after the cemetery at all.not a good look people. You are brave by yourself there, enjoying watching you from London England.👀🇬🇧🇯🇲❤️
Love it bro
Not even the dead can rest in peace or even safe in Jamaica 🇯🇲 sad sad indeed
Bless up love this video
Hello My Friend good evening My grandfather is buried there. I’ve been trying to find his record for so many years with no luck. He died before I was born. I always try to find something jus to hold on to I never met him yet I miss him If you have any information that you can share on way that I can find his grave or at least his death certificate. He died at the Kingston Public Hospital would appreciate 100% one love
Keep on doing the good work my friend
Contact KSAC, they record the graves.
I enjoyed this episode on May Pen Cemetery. KSAC should do a better job in taking care of the cemetery.
@@Junjo11 thank you so much
Visit the RGD and give them the info you have of your grand father maybe they can give you a copy of his death certificate.
Thank you 🙏
Loving it,keep up the good work.
That's wonderful work and keeping us well informed. They should have the same prisoner's next door go over and did the bushings out so that they can see more of the same. Sitting and eating taxpayers money for nothing.
Sometimes the dead buried with values liked jewellery money and other values so that's why they disturb the dead 😢😢😢
The Chinese Cemetery is the nicest Cemetery in Jamaica. Some people soak the bones of the unalive in enbalming fluid, crush it & put it in their weed to get an extra high. The next reason is to work, obeah, witchcraft & last, they rob the graves for the valuables placed in them.
Remember, the Schloss were a military people. Up to late 1900 were still active in Jamaica.
Mr you are VERY Brave ❤❤
There is a prison next door with prisoner's that can maintain the maypen cemetery don't you think
Warders would be selling freedoms like the police are doing at the police stations.
Where is the prison?
@@D.N.E_music2374 The prison is right beside the cemetery and the Mother White gully.
@@thetruth3775 ohh i see never been there only visited once
A great idea
Excellent channel
Wow! What a story thanks for sharing, great job.
Looking forward to the tour
Looks to me like you'll have to start walking with a broom bro😊

Love your work but be careful over may pen cemetery. Mine dem bouy think you looking for dem guns

You are funny lol 😂😂
You brave eeh man

Bwoy yuh brave
Very Brave 😂
How could this be possible expose bodies in a well known cemetery its a disgrace and shameful 😢😢😮
Just finding your content man...very interesting..subscribed
When I was a kid hearing of this cemetery I thought it was actually in Clarendon.
Me too
Historically it was, but then was moved to Spanish Town Road. You can look it up in the Jamaica Archives
Thanks for your good deed, i appreciate seing inside this cemetary which hold relatives I have never met, Blesings on you❤❤❤

If this was Uk 🇬🇧 and someone did a blog about a cemetery and they discovered dead body exposed like this ...this would have been a big investigation and a serious issue ...but I guess the government of Jamaica 🇯🇲 don’t give a shit about their citizens and respect their dead ...how does the loved ones /families feel about this ...anyway big respect to the man whose doing this blog ..he’s really exposing a lot of things in this blog
It’s a shame ..You should send this video to Andrew holiness /the authorities should see this
This is so disgraceful
I totally agree you if it was in the UK all hell would let lose.
I’m watching this video. My father was buried there when I was a baby. Don’t even know him. Was at the she of my seat hoping by chance to see my father’s grave. Jamaican government is a fucking joke. This would be all over the news here in Florida
How is the cemetery in such ruins with all these bodies in there. U can just go I. There. Is y so many bodies are missing. Can just imagine the things that are done with these bodies. Smh
Love the video
I really enjoyed this 👍
Love this channel. Instant subscribe..glad to see someone doing something different and not the usual stuff from Jamaican RUclipsrs.
Boy dis ya man ya good as gold , him know weh fe find the real legend dem ,, maypen was the first place I went to a funeral,, a cousin a mine followed friends go pon robbery in a 1976 and that’s where he was buried,as a little boy I still remember, maypen is a very lonely 😞 place boy, anyway enjoy your journey back to st Elizabeth me father born place , thanks 🙏🏾 fe the video, big up 👌🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧
You teaching me a lot,was looking for one of my friend grave but you walk pass it
Thank you for your videos
My brother good job the most important thing about a cemetary is biography into the lives of past individuals. So glad u are doing one for jamaica just like the americans. Ivan o rigen was one of intrest is story led to the movie the harder they come jamaicas first gunman.
Loved this episode very informative and fascinating. First time viewer
maybe be some relatives would recognise him and sometimes the relatives do t put there head stones thank you very much you have done a excellent job i hope you protect your self even when they are dead you dont know who is following you
