Ron you were talking about wooden caskets and deteriorating quickly. My ex-wife is a Greek citizen and she told me about funerals in Greece and how different they are from here. She said that when you die the bury you in a casket but there is no bottom in it just slats so you don’t fall out. They also do not use makeup or embalming. If you are killed say in an auto accident and your body is damaged they don’t fix it up. They fill the casket with flowers to the point that only your face is visible. I know this to be true because she would get Greek newspapers and there would be pictures in the paper of deceased’s people. Just thought you might like to hear some info on other funeral rights practiced in other country’s.

@@estellegabriel505 I’ve seen the flower thing in the Greek newspapers my ex read . Keep in mind that my ex is 75 years old and maybe they did that at some point in her life. My ex was extremely religious so I don’t think she would ever lie. It was me who ruined the marriage, biggest mistake of my life. I also saw a special that some years ago in Greece after a period of time they would dig the person up and drink wine out of there loved ones skull. That’s sickening to me but I remember it, one of those discovery type shows. My ex was from Agrinion.

This is so sad. There is a cemetery right the road from me and my daughter and I have been trying to clean it up. Our loved ones need to be remembered more and better

A very interesting cemetery Ron. I love to see the homemade stones and the work that the family members put in to them. RIP to all who are buried there and the Veterans thank you for your sacrifice and service 🇺🇲✝️. Seeing that inscenerator in the middle of the cemetery and out in the open I never seen that before. Thanks Ron taking us along.

Considering that I have had chickens for most of my short-lived life I, like you, would never turn my back on an unfamiliar (or even familiar) rooster but he seemed sweet enough- probably thought you had food or was seeking protection from the crow. Loved the tour, though it is such a shame to see graves, if not the whole cemetery falling in such a state of disrepair.

Some of those graves are so sad and others are well-loved. This place seems to be in better shape though than the other one you visited. And I love your new buddy! He's a friendly little guy -- a little guardian rooster. 🥰

Such a sad cemetery, but there are some graves that have not been forgotten. And you had your customary "Wildlife" moment. He was keeping his eye on you. Making sure you weren't doing any mischief. lol. Thanks for the tour, Ron. I love seeing these places.

That is so sad. Just because someone is poor doesn’t mean they should be treated in such disrespect!!!!

Ron I do believe you’ve made a new friend. 😂 This cemetery is in better shape than the one you were in about a week or two ago. That oak tree is beautiful, nice to see that some family members come and maintain their relatives or friends graves. The art work and decorating is nice. I just love the shirt you have on.👑🎸

I really like the old cemeteries the best. All great history. RIP friends of Holt cemetery, veterans thank you for your service. May you always be remembered 🙏 🙏❤

We have a way here in Iceland to prevent that much collapse, when the filling of the grave has started and all funeral guests have gone they push the showel of the machine used to dig and fill down into the grave until the coffin breaks then it will not create as big hole when it collapse more. I yhink its clever as we are not going to use that body anymore

I used to take my daughters broom with me to my car. She had a vicious rooster. Interesting old cemetery. Love the painted graves

So sad. But a reminder that no matter how simple or how nice our grave may be, we’ll all have one thing in common…we’ll be dead.

I think the rooster was following you because you were stirring up bugs as you moved through the grass. He's a beauty. Great video as always! 🐓

Hello Ron I'm watching you from Tucson Arizona just missed your live stream. God bless you and stay safe out there. Thank you for taking me and everyone else out to see these gravesites I'm cemeteries.. I especially feel it when you say " and WE ARE IN!". So cool of you.. love you

Oh, my goodness, Ron!! I loved this so much!! Thank you!! I am such an animal lover but am terrified of birds and feathers. There’s a name for it.

What a melancholic graveyard! This area is simply falling apart! Lonely spirits must wander here. The rooster watches over the decaying remains. Thank you Ron, stay safe and keep well.

So sad that the cemetery is in poor shape people should be respected there even tho times are tight for us Bless those who Rip there🙏🙏🙏🙏

That was a very sweet rooster. I knew immediately when he first approached you that he was friendly. I wonder if he has a home that he got away from.. I hope he doesn't just live there alone.

The Rooster was too cute following you lol. He is definitely the Guardian of the Cemetery. 😊

That oak tree is beautiful

I think the little guy wanted to be your "Therapy Rooster"! You could take him on your cemetery trips and he'll keep you company and be your guard. 😃 Amazing little crematorium. Hard to believe it could get the heat to cremate considering the cremation process usually occurs between 1400 and 1600 degrees F. It must have worked one way or another.

I noticed the last 2 grave close-ups of names and dates had the same years: 1958-2016. They were both 58 yrs old. Interesting coincidence. And I loved the feathered company! 😄 I think he liked your t-shirt. 😊

Interesting cemetery. The thought of possibly stepping and basically sinking into a deceased person is scary!

Where i use to life the old graveyard had a peacock roaming around, a true graveyard friend. The person who owned the peacock had tried many ways to keep him off the graveyard but the people visiting kinda grew fond of him so when he couldnt get him to not go there when he was out he was allowed to go around there. Gentle soul that peacock when he passed the town made a special plack for him that is still at this graveyard till this day. This rooster probable just as much of a graveyard guide as any other creatures that leave on or near graveyards haha.

I live in Germany and we have a completely different cemetery system here than in the US. The cemetery in your video shows a problem when graves are really created for eternity. After a few decades there is no one to take care of a grave. Often it certainly does not last decades. And then a city must permanently take over the costs for the maintenance of the graves.

We lived in the neighborhood nearly 40 years ago. We walked our dog on one of the bordering streets and truly believe that he saw ghosts meandering about in the cemetery. It was very eerie.

I can't get Mick Jagger out of my head singing 🎶 "I'm a Rooster baby" lol

Maybe the rooster wants you to leave, but has decided to resort to more subtle measures. Instead of an overt attack, the rooster instead wants to follow you around until you feel bad about remaining in the cemetery. 😄

really nice walk, at Holt cemetery with mr Rooster🐓 interesting love from Holland

Love that there's a mailbox among the graves. When the rooster showed up, I figured he was checking his mail and lo, there's a stranger walking around. So he was startled a bit, but wasn't being an ass about it. Also love the colors on some of the graves. Cheerful.

I think that rooster just wanted to make sure you weren’t trying to steal his ladies 😂. But I love how you made fiends with him. I was just waiting for you to say, “ I shall call you Cogburn” 😂😂

That rooster loved you! He was ver handsome, beautiful colors. Such a sad place where these souls are buried. Definitely needs a lot of love and care. Thank you so much for another great lesson in history. 😊🐓🐣Have a Happy and Blessed Easter!!! ✝️💐

Looks like Mr. Foghorn Leghorn is looking for a handout from ya RC! you should have bought some chicken scratch with you... I think the crows are intimidating to Mr. Foghorn a little as well, RC to the rescue. I bet that Mr. rooster feels more at ease with people around then with a bunch of unruly crows. Very interesting old cemetery, run down, but in its own way, beautiful, in a sad way. A job well done RC , like always big guy! thank you.

Lol Ron, keep your distance from those things, they’re pretty fast to attack. You’re showing us very different yards with very different circumstances. Guess we all end up somewhere at the end (I agree!) Raised Catholic like you, I believe, just a cement marker works well when I’m gone. You have a strange but admirable hobby, love it!

Very cool cemetery, Ron! I think that rooster was looking for some free food. Bet people feed him on occasion.

The Rooster is the guard chicken for the cemetery.

That incinerator doesn't look like it's being used. Not with all those weeds around it. Love what you do Ron

Aww,, loved Mr. Beaureguard Rooster, one that looked just like him lived next door to me, he'd come over and eat the birdseed on the ground, he was beautiful, I named him Beaureguard.

Marion Lawrence-looked like a Fleur de Lys. French. That was beautiful. The crows did not like the rooster hahahahaha. He has food in the cemetery (insects etc) he's fine! He's like a cemetery mascot, right? That was an interesting cemetery for the variety of gravestones (or not) Too bad we didn't know more about the names that we saw...thank-you for the visit, Ron and the sidekick, Rooster. Have a great day! 🙂

Many cemeteries these days require that, no matter what a casket is made of, they be buried in a vault. This prevents the ground from sinking and they can run heavy equipment across the graves without fear of collapsing. That side door on the crematorium is for removing what is left of the media burned to cremate the bodies. You can see the firebrick lining. Many fireplaces have external doors to clean out the ashes.

I enjoted this, loved that big old tree. Really different there but ashes to ashes and dust to dust. That rooster liked you or he would of flocked you with his spurs. Thats what their called and he had baby ones he was a young rooster. The older ones get attitudes some of them do depends on the hens. But their spurs get real big and long and can do some damage. Then after awhile they loose them and grow new ones. Dew claws ate what cats and dogs have. I used to have chickens and roosters, I miss them they were so entertaining. Now I have 12 cats and two horses, I love animals. Thanks Ron

I wonder why every cemetery in New Orland's seems to bury their dead on top of each, meaning super close to each other. other. It's strange to see some pretty nice stones among all the damaged ones. I feel like cemeteries should give family members peace and tranquility in the surroundings that their loved ones are buried in, but I don't see any of that in New Orleans that make me feel that way. It's still really great to see cemeteries in other areas like this. It sure gives me a greater appreciation for the beautiful cemeteries around Chicagoland. What a difference..... Ps - the rooster just wanted his 5 minutes of fame. They're proud like that 😅

Ron did mention they have money invested in repairs and I am sure the work is tedious but it is still sad. Not as bad as SWEET OLIVE which was an UTTER DISGRACE

Funny how the rooster kept up with you. The crows were loud. That old tree was really beautiful.

I was sitting in the parking lot one day, waiting for my daughter to get out of school (Delgado). I thought I’d go and take a look inside the cemetery because I have relatives there. A few feet in and I turned around because I was the only one in there and I noticed some of the graves were open. My grandfather used to go and clean it. There was a newspaper article about him.

Hay Ron. luv the T shirt. It's a really dam shame that cemetery's get like this. It break's my heart. from 🇬🇧👍😄 an old cockney gal. at least something is being done.

Hi Ron. Can you imagine operating a crematorium in these days ?? Wow. Talk about unwanted pollution !!! Seems the rooster was making sure you left " his " area. One attacked me when i was about nine. I ended having to defend myself. I had a 2x4. It didn't. I won😊 take care and God bless to all.

I really enjoyed this cemetery walk, Ron ! The conditions in this cemetery were variable but by and large, it was an uplifting experience to follow you around. People are doing what they can to keep it manageable and the hand made and decorated graves were Ok by me. It represents people doing what they can with what they have and that is touching in my eyes at least. Loved that gorgeous old tree with the Spanish moss hanging on it. Think of all the human activity it has seen over the years, it would be great if it could talk! As for the rooster, what a handsome specimen he is and I suspect he was relatively friendly. Maybe some visitors feed him on occasion. I suspect that the crows can give him a hard time , maybe territory squabbles?? Thanks again for taking us through this cemetery!

Thank you Ron ❤️ You're the best ❤️

This was a fascinating and amusing video. Chickens roam around many areas in New Orleans, so I'm not surprised you encountered Mr Rooster. I guess it's a bit like Key West in that regard. They seem to be very adept at taking care of themselves. As for Holt Cemetery, I had no idea it existed until you posted this video. I've driven past that area many times, so this was a real eye opener. I guessed it was near City Park because the moss draped live oaks thrive in that area. Loved the seriocomic aspect of this one! 👻😆🐓
