@@DansManCaveUK Luckily, my son will accompany me to the crematorium and will wait for my remains. My Dad donated his body, but they didn't want him when they learned he had an mrsa infection in his big toe!
@@dm607 my local university has actually stopped accepting cadaver donations as they're switching to other ways of teaching.

A beautiful old cemetery. The visuals inside the vaults fascinates me (and I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it so:) Some in fantastic condition, others sadly not, which only reiterates how glad I am that I buried my parents! Thank you GV, God bless ❤Teresa 🇦🇺♥
Dear goodness GV, the state of some of those vaults, so sad. I continue to find the adventures you take us on absolutely BRILLIANT! Keep doing what you're doing, you're killing it, no pun intended 😉. xx
When you're buried in a vault, crypt or mausoleum your body goes on an adventure lasting potentially thousands of years. Every day, a little bit at a time, something new happens to it, and hopefully people will see your remains, pay some respects or learn something about life. To me cremation is dark and cold. You get turned to dust and bits of bone and stuck in a box or scattered in the wind, cutting off nearly all chance for anyone to ever see you again, and nothing changes.
Unlikely, unless you are mummified like an ancient pharaoh. Some of those vaults weren't even 150 years old yet, and there was nothing left of the bodies or coffins, the vaults themselves will likely collapse within another 20 years or so. Cremation isn't dark or cold, it's actually kind of hot.
That graveyard is very old but still I find them beautiful the little robin was so sweet I always see them when I visit my parents grave. Thank you so much for always getting great views from the tiniest holes!!. love to you and Sue 👍👍😍😍💐💐
Thanks for sharing life is fleeting we are here on earth but a short time. You bring this to a realization sharing with your videos we often take life for granted but you bring it to a reality. Keep up the good work. 💯👍🏼 We all appreciate you sharing.
So sad to see the cemetery is so neglected, and it could be so beautiful if cleaned up. I feel sorry for the remains of those people whose bones have been exposed. I know it would be a lot of money and time to make things right and there's probably no family left around the area, or they just don't go there to visit. The modern way of thinking about cemeteries is much different than those times. Like you said, cremation is much cheaper and most people won't go to visit anyway so they don't care if the stones crumble. But I think channels like yours and Sue's and others are making people more aware of the history and beautiful monuments that are residing in cemeteries and graveyards. Maybe it's even spurring people on to look into their own family history. Thank you, GV, for making people realize that these places are worth looking at.
Hey GV heart breaking that these graves have fallen to nature's way. This is why I'm being cremated. Love the videos thank you for bringing these graves to light. Take care sweetheart. 🌹🌹🌹
Yes you are right. When people buried their loved ones they are looking at a stone structure and think this will last forever. But unfortunately mother nature has taken its toll on the mausoleums and the remains inside. As the Bible says from dust ye cometh so shall ye return. Thanks GV and Sue for another great adventure, God bless you both, OT.
Just wanted to say a little thank you for everything you do, GV, and for the respect you give to those who have passed. I totally get how seeing some of the vaults and their occupants in rough shape might make people lean towards cremation instead of burial. But like you often remind us, in the end, it’s all the same: "We come into the world with nothing and we leave the world with nothing." Take care and God bless! 🙏🙏
A thought just occurred to me that we are all "children" when the span of our lives is compared to eternity; so each of us deserves a teddy bear on our grave.
Cathal, it is very sad that these cemeteries received money for upkeep, and didn't keep up their end. In the U.S., we have in some areas the prisoners mow the lawn if a prison is close by. Thank you for sharing have a great week.
I have loved your content for a few years now seeing that Robin and the bunnies just added to your tour and trying to read names that cant be seen thanks for your channel.😮
It is always sad that our ancestors thought there would always be family that would take care of these burials that cost a small fortune at the time. Some families just die out and some are still around,but can't afford repairs. Very sad to be sure 😔 Best going forward to just bury in the earth or cremation. Thank you for bringing us on your adventures, so interesting, as always ❤
When you think of the price of coffins and they end up like these one's, it definitely makes me want to be cremated. Ending up a bundle of bones scattered around isn't a nice thought. Could someone not be hired to look after the graveyards and keep the grass down and do repairs, i don't honestly know. Interesting explore GV .😊 xx
@@GraveVisitations my grandparents were not placed in a grave with a concrete vault, so their grave site sinks in as the coffins deteriorate. So every so often we go out and bring dirt to place on their grave to keep it from sinking in. Now brother is buried next to them he has a concrete vault so his grave doesn’t have that problem.
They pile them up like cord wood, the coffins. The place is falling apart, to be sure. What a sorry sight! So much in disrepair. Care Less. 😢 Thanks, GV
These people paid good money to build their vaults. Surely the town could appoint a board to maintain the graveyard. Do fund raisers, like a pub crawl, garage sales etc to go to the maintenance?
Just an idea an optic fiber camera would be great for awkward places Love all your presentations you have a unique and professional way in presenting your videos , keep up the good work they are fascinating
I'm thinking these vaults gave a feeling of permanence and respect to those who had them constructed. Time has taken a tremendous toll. I don't know what the answer is: It's dangerous for the public to be near these deteriorating structures. There seems to be no funds to preserve or restore, let alone mow and edge. Once gone, that history is lost.😢😢
Thank you for a very interesting video! The disrepair of the vaults was sad to see😢! Unfortunately, family forgets those who have passed, after 1 generation goes by! The robin was so sweet! Stay safe out there! ❤
Lovely video! That little robin seemed really friendly. I, too like birds and always feed them in the wintertime. Graveyards provide an excellent habitat for wild birds.
I think that the wind could have blown the stuffed animals from where they were originally placed. I know that it can get really windy in Ireland sometimes.
Looks like out of a horror movie with those skeletons. It’s awful the condition they’ve been left in. Yet they were once just like we are now. That’s so crazy.
Thank you once again for taking us along. Very sad this one with the remains just out like that. 😢 this is really made my mind made up to be cremated. Those soft toys tugged at my heart so sad. Guy's keep safe and thank you GV once again. ❤
Gosh! That one crypt with the collapsed roof and grass growing on the remains now resembles that type of grave which has an elevated slab over an empty space of ground,and which I always think of as a "faux" crypt.
Some of these vaults are in very sad condition. 😔 I have noticed for a while now, that most of them do not have stone floors. Is there a reason for that? Thank you very much GV and Sue, for another great video. Have a great week ahead. 😊
And if a good portion of those buried in these now-ruined crypts were immaculate housekeepers in life, they would be shocked to see the current state of their "long-term houses."
Love your videos both of you do a brilliant job😊 Can you read sometimes the epitaphs on some of the old graves if you can 😊 I love reading them myself I quite often with my partner stop and find some really old graves and try to read the beautiful epitaphs some bring tears 😭 Great work as normal watch all the videos on both channels 😊 All the best phil take care over those dangerous graves Phil
So true gv.. We come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing.. Like they say there is no u-haul behind the hearse.... But im sure there at peace...🙏🙏🙏
Great video. It's true though. No matter how much money you throw at it, we all end up the same way. These people no doubt thought their monuments would last forever. But there's no arguing with nature.
After my mother died , she came to me in a dream , and i asked her if being dead hurt her , and she said the worst part was that she felt her own cremation.
So heartbreaking 💔 😢 to see what happens, it is what time and weather does. Cremation is what i have chose, i could never afford anything else and that is with a life insurance plan. Green natural burials are few here, hope more begins. Sue did a video on 1 there in Ireland. Just so sad the remains and coffins ⚰️ deteriorate 😢 thanx for the walk and video, loved it as always❤😊❤😊
Nothing is forever. Apart from wild animals, especially rodents, plants are the number one destroyers of manmade structures, the roots of trees and vines are quite powerful and can work their way in between the smallest of cracks and cause irreparable damage to stone, bricks and slate. Then there is water, which expands when frozen and can also destroy headstones and brick and stonework. that is why it is essential for a vault or mausoleum to be built in a well-chosen location where they can be properly maintained with preventative maintenance, to stop things from decaying prematurely. I've seen far too many burial vaults and mausoleums vandalized and desecrated by those who are of ill intent. and then there are those who simply want a human skull, which I too think a very cool item, but the fact that they were once a human, prevents me from ever actually wanting one as a personal possession. I thought of getting my body scanned and having the file turned into an STL file so I can print my own skull on my 3D printer, but that is far too creepy for me to actually do it, plus the scan is quite expensive. So as a result of the terrible things I have seen happening to burial structures in general, has convinced me to be buried deep in the ground, in a vault meant for one casket in an actual grave, So the people will pass over my grave and look for easier pickings from a mausoleum or vault. I'm not really into the whole buried in something that can easily be opened by anyone with a will to get inside. like the catacombs you took us to in Belgium, there were so many of them that the stone face of the vault was either in the process of separating or was completely free from the mortar that was supposed to be holding it in place. And there are still grave robbers, people who do not care about the damage they do to the resting places of those who have passed on before us. and then there is the massive debacle in Italy where entire grave sites, of vaults upon vaults that have collapsed and spilled out the remains of the people buried in them, open vaults where the caskets/coffins have broken up and spilled out the bodies in such disarray, that the remains are not all mixed up and who can tell them apart now? thousands of corpses exposed to the open air. it makes me sick to think about how much of a mess and desecration it is because of the government's poorly execute plans, lack of proper construction and poor to no enforcement of codes meant to prevent such tragedies from happening, and for some odd reason, the vaults were constructed upon each other going higher and higher, instead of the direction they should have been going. and all because of shameful pride, in trying to build the most beautiful of vaults it was like a constant one-upmanship between vault building and the safety and structure of them all being heaped upon each other was simply begging for a minor earthquake to happen, which Italy is infamous for, because of volcanic activity. it finally happened, and the whole place there is in a huge mess, or WAS but who knows just how much proper work was done, since the construction there is famously poor to begin with. so I am quite happy being tossed into a hole in the ground, or more accurately in a small vault, in a hole in the ground but I guess I am spoiled for choice, living in North America, there is no lack of land to be used for burial. unlike Europe, so I can see why cremation is the most chosen route, since space is at such a premium there.
That plastic makes no sense. The coffins and the bodies themselves will decompose and return to the ground but that plastic will be there forever. Thanks GV. Interesting as always.
I really enjoyed your video today my late mother was born and bred in Kilrush its so very sad to see the coughing in the bolts so decade through age God love them and bless him🙏
Interesting how the analogy of 'the snakes being driven out' by Saint Patrick was another way of describing the various non-Christian groups that were gone from Ireland over the centuries. Fascinating how history is explained.
I enjoy seeing these videos as it gives a glimpse into the past but it also confirms my desire to be cremated. The one vault showed some lovely carved coffins then the next one showed the destroyed coffins and bones. Why pay all that money for a supposed eternal resting place to have it falling apart, destroyed or covered over with new buildings or whatever? There is a historical cemetery near where I grew up that has several notable people in it and many paid for so called perpetual car yet their graves and mausoleums are unkept and some of the mausoleums are falling apart with one of them having all the coffins removed as the roof fell in. A lot of them aren't that old, from the 1900s. I think I'd rather be ash blowing on the winds and forever free.
@@GraveVisitations They do need to answer but sadly way too many don't, they get away with it. That particular cemetery I mentioned has still done nothing although a local tree service went in and for free took down several storm damaged or dead trees. Nothing else has been done. We have numerous large mausoleums with hundreds of bodies here in the States that are abandoned and falling apart with body fluids leaking, coffins smashed and mold everywhere. Rarely are the owners held accountable.
GV, àrè using a little clickbait? You don’t need to. All of your videos are bangers! Besides, you hear voices and unexplained noises that ďon’t phase you and I haven’t seen you look in a mausoleum that’s made you want țo quit.😊😊
It’s okay to decay . As time passes we will all return to the earth ;Tombs and monuments will crumble coffins will fall apart . We are here for a brief period until we face judgment in our death ☠️
Very sad the state of this graveyard….😳😢 people have forgotten their families from way back when. If it wasn’t for you visiting these places, they would not be seen. They would not be remembered however briefly. What is the saying…..”I’ll not be forgotten as long as someone says my name.”

I think the people thought that there would always be family to care for them. Unfortunately family lines die out, people move, etc. so sad.😢

I'm not really into the whole buried in something that can easily be opened by anyone with a will to get inside. like the catacombs you took us to in Belgium, there were so many of them that the stone face of the vault was either in the process of separating or was completely free from the mortar that was supposed to be holding it in place. And there are still grave robbers, people who do not care about the damage they do to the resting places of those who have passed on before us. and then there is the massive debacle in Italy where entire grave sites, of vaults upon vaults that have collapsed and spilled out the remains of the people buried in them, open vaults where the caskets/coffins have broken up and spilled out the bodies in such disarray, that the remains are not all mixed up and who can tell them apart now? thousands of corpses exposed to the open air. it makes me sick to think about how much of a mess and desecration it is because of the government's poorly execute plans, lack of proper construction and poor to no enforcement of codes meant to prevent such tragedies from happening, and for some odd reason, the vaults were constructed upon each other going higher and higher, instead of the direction they should have been going. and all because of shameful pride, in trying to build the most beautiful of vaults it was like a constant one-upmanship between vault building and the safety and structure of them all being heaped upon each other was simply begging for a minor earthquake to happen, which Italy is infamous for, because of volcanic activity. it finally happened, and the whole place there is in a huge mess, or WAS but who knows just how much proper work was done, since the construction there is famously poor to begin with. so I am quite happy being tossed into a hole in the ground, or more accurately in a small vault, in a hole in the ground but I guess I am spoiled for choice, living in North America, there is no lack of land to be used for burial. unlike Europe, so I can see why cremation is the most chosen route, since space is at such a premium there.
Whoa! Pretty frightening
Great 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
I've heard of guard dogs, but a guard robin? 👍
That plastic makes no sense. The coffins and the bodies themselves will decompose and return to the ground but that plastic will be there forever. Thanks GV. Interesting as always.
The Crypts at the beginning of the Video are looking very interesting, the kind of buildings 😊
I think so too!
Gotta love a channel warning us that human remains are inside graves....
Can’t help but notice the little Robin Redbreast. They are meant to represent that spirits are with you.
I really enjoyed your video today my late mother was born and bred in Kilrush its so very sad to see the coughing in the bolts so decade through age God love them and bless him🙏
Thanks for watching
Interesting how the analogy of 'the snakes being driven out' by Saint Patrick was another way of describing the various non-Christian groups that were gone from Ireland over the centuries. Fascinating how history is explained.
I enjoy seeing these videos as it gives a glimpse into the past but it also confirms my desire to be cremated. The one vault showed some lovely carved coffins then the next one showed the destroyed coffins and bones. Why pay all that money for a supposed eternal resting place to have it falling apart, destroyed or covered over with new buildings or whatever? There is a historical cemetery near where I grew up that has several notable people in it and many paid for so called perpetual car yet their graves and mausoleums are unkept and some of the mausoleums are falling apart with one of them having all the coffins removed as the roof fell in. A lot of them aren't that old, from the 1900s. I think I'd rather be ash blowing on the winds and forever free.
These funeral homes and cemetery staff have alot to answer too
@@GraveVisitations They do need to answer but sadly way too many don't, they get away with it. That particular cemetery I mentioned has still done nothing although a local tree service went in and for free took down several storm damaged or dead trees. Nothing else has been done. We have numerous large mausoleums with hundreds of bodies here in the States that are abandoned and falling apart with body fluids leaking, coffins smashed and mold everywhere. Rarely are the owners held accountable.
GV, àrè using a little clickbait? You don’t need to. All of your videos are bangers! Besides, you hear voices and unexplained noises that ďon’t phase you and I haven’t seen you look in a mausoleum that’s made you want țo quit.😊😊
Nothing click bait on my channel it is exactly what you see
@@GraveVisitationsOk GV I apologize for the erroneous presumption.
It’s okay to decay . As time passes we will all return to the earth ;Tombs and monuments will crumble coffins will fall apart . We are here for a brief period until we face judgment in our death ☠️
Yeah I don't think I would get too close. Some of them are off kilter. Stay safe. 💪🏽🕊🦋💙🙏🏽
Dodgy for sure
This was terribly sad, so sad. I don't know what to say. I am so sorry. ♥️☘️
It's sad to see it left like that
Very sad the state of this graveyard….😳😢 people have forgotten their families from way back when. If it wasn’t for you visiting these places, they would not be seen. They would not be remembered however briefly. What is the saying…..”I’ll not be forgotten as long as someone says my name.”
I love doing what I do and remembering the forgotten
