I would never want to be buried in the ground; what if you were alive when they buried you. Also just the thought of being put in the ground is creepy. Worms insects & whoever else. Reminds me of that movie, the premature burial. In the oven you go up in flames 🔥 right away. Probably goes so fast you wouldn't feel it. Hopefully you get embalmed before going in oven.

That Cemetary is clearly tended to with loving care , credit to that community and their respect for their relatives .

George Washington was either 6'2" or 6'4" depending on the source. But he had a very narrow frame. I'm barely 6'4" and standing beside Washington's full uniform I feel like a huge blob at 215 lbs. I'd estimate his waist was 28" and his shoulders were not very wide, we're talking bean pole.! But I think George could've squeezed out through that oval opening.

Thank you and I just love it! When I taught Indiana history many many years ago we would always do a unit on cemeteries and graveyards so the kids could understand more when they went to visit. We found one story in Indiana that a wealthy man died? And was placed in a mausoleum. He was so afraid of being buried alive that in his Mausoleum he installed a telephone and had a small table a rocking chair a bottle of brandy or scotch and a cigar. So if he was buried alive he could get out of his casket call up the people and sit and enjoy a drink and a smoke rocking until they came and got him. My students loved it and a few of them even brought up the idea that they were going to be buried with cell phone so they could call somebody and then still play games. I believe about 30 or 40 years ago they finally disconnected the telephone at the mausoleum. Again, thank you I love when you take us along on your Journeys!

Whenever you see the little tiny stones a distance from the big headstone it is the foot stone. It usually has the initials of the person buried there. They don’t use them any more but they were popular way back especially in the south to mark the full grave and the orientation of the coffin

FYI the unmarked stone, or sometimes just a big rock, in older cemeteries are often the grave of a slave. They will mostly be positioned at the bottom of family plots. Sometimes you will find them buried beside family. This signified the family considered them family.

Learn something new eachday..so intriguing. I found this in a write up about slave grave markers. ( “Some of them are in the shape of a human eye, kind of like an oval with points on the end.” According to local African-American families, growing up they were told that the purpose of this rock shape was to symbolize that the eyes of the dead watch over the living.)

You’re very generous to direct us to other people’s channel. ❤️ I cannot imagine the fear of being in the ground and in a coffin too boot.

Another terrifying thought - imagine reviving while you're being cremated, you're inside the furnace, the furnace is full blast, and you're being incinerated alive. With the furnace full blast, who is going to hear you scream? And if they managed to pull you out, you will have suffered serious life-threatening burns. People who choose to be cremated upon death need to seriously re-think their funeral plans.

For a rural cemetery, it’s fairly large. When I was in mortuary school, it was said the mirror was a way to determine death as well as placing a hot scalpel on skin to see if a blister appears or injection of ammonia under skin to see if redness would appear. Much different then today. Also undertaker would go to residence to embalm body and deceased would lie in state in their home.

You would love my local cemetery. It was original part of the local church which was built and is documented from the 13th c. The first actual stones that can currently be found dates to 1546 and there are numerous from the 17th, 17th and 18th centuries. When I was younger I used to go up regularly and do grave rubbings.

I spent several hours reading all the tombstones in the small cemetery in Texas where most of my dads relatives were buried and found so many interesting things out about my family. I live in Texarkana which is a twin city and mobsters came here often after visiting the hot springs in Arkansas and there are two main old cemeteries in the heart of town with the most beautiful headstones and beautiful angels. I hate that the older cemeteries often are not taken care of like they should since there are no new burials in them. My moms family is also buried in small country cemeteries linked to a church on site. I believe you came through town last year. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

On his death, his unsealed coffin was buried in a tabletop tomb, a flask of wine and loaf of bread left inside. Rather than stone, the end of the tombstone was an iron door. A key was left inside the tomb and the door locked from outside. He never did reappear and the keyhole was was sealed!

I really enjoy driving through with my binoculars and just looking around. I've seen lots of birds and marked off sightings in my bird book driving through cemeteries. Plus I've seen my share of rare foxes. And some cemeteries have very unique and interesting graves. That make you stop get out and pay your respects.

The problem was afther seeing so many similar graves and head tones, I became confused. Suddently on my right side I noticed a grave stone with a beautiful the Image of the Infant baby Jesus, asked the Infant for help and has he has see my granny's gravestone? Afther in a matter of a 15 seconds bending over I sudently looked towards my left , and there straigt ahead was my granny's gravestone. So many emotions came over me. Till today now when ever I visit my grandmother I always give thanks to the Infant Jesus and pay my respects at that grave also.

The bible tells us the dead knows nothing. That’s the devil. If the dead could contact us think of all the murdered people whose murders have never been found? Don’t you think they’d give you a heads up? Read your bible and not the one you got from the Catholic Church.

I ask SA nearly daily to help me find something.

I'll go with you! Everybody thinks I'm nuts but I absolutely love what you're doing. I always have to explore alone and that's what keeps me from driving too far from home. If you're ever in the NY/NJ area and you want some company let me know. You can do the video and I'll take the photographs!

Heal well Ron. You're walking great for someone that just went through knee surgery! Just wanted to say how appreciative we are of what you do! You're like everybody's best friend Father brother uncle......we like ya!!!!!😃✌💜
