I grew up in a row house next to this cemetery. Everyday i walked past it on the way to school. Went sledding there in winter with my dad and closer to cobbs creek we too lots of family photos on special occasions. Its a shame how overgrown and awful it became starting in the 1970s. As a child i was forbidden to go in there alone for obvious reasons. thankfully there are people restoring it. The neighborhood in south west is horrible, dangerous and a lot of the houses are rundown or missing due to abandonment.
I believe the caretaker passed in 2011 , and it was in really bad shape back in 1988 , I used to walk my daughter in her stroller! The disrespect of "kids" pushing over stones was unfathomable to me ! There's a group called "friends of Mount Moriah" that cleans up !
I could not be in more agreement, for instance, what are we looking at at 8:34?? Top of headstone ,trees, branches, some dirt and some leaves is all I see. I want my 17.12 minutes of my life back.

How did it get in such a state? Someone mentioned the south side being rundown.
Wow, creepy but very interesting at the same time, why and how did this once beautiful cemetery fall into such despair and neglect like that?

Someone should go in and save this cemetery.
There is a group that has been working on it for the past few years but because of its size its been taking a while.
Would have been nice to slow down and read some of the stones...dates, names and not gloss over everything.

My niece is buried in the Muslim section there that place is horrible.
My sister is laid to rest here to and it is nasty
There is something seriously wrong with the sound same on your other video of this cemetery.
