@@GraveVisitations Incase this is any comfort to you, I'm an archaeologist from across the pond. When I was a young boy it was a bit of a luxury and very dangerous for me to run rampant in the massive and unique grave yards in New Orleans. I had experiences similar to this myself. These old mausoleums just fall out of maintenance and this is what happens as I'm sure you two know all too well. I think what you've said here about reading the names on the graves and keeping them remembered and respected is the best anybody can do and the best advice to give. To this day no matter how demanding my professional work may be, I always give every person's resting place and remains a moment of silence, recognition and thanks along with apologies. Anyone who isn't doing this shouldn't be around such things regardless of faiths and creeds. For me I think the most disturbing part of old graves is that I fully understand my remains have at best 100 years to be what I expected or paid for, but the fact most people never think about this really gets me going. Love your work! Edit: WOW the coffin with the Jesus was epic! This grave yard is so cool and exotic for me. Love the Celtic crosses and Victorian elements.

I think I would have to report the bad smelling crypt to the authorities. Bodies interred that long ago should be mostly skeletonized and shouldn't smell that bad. I think someone's crypt would be a great place to hide a body, no one would notice some extra remains in a long deserted mausoleum.

I am older now, when i was around 10, my Grandparents owned a quiet piece of property in the country. The plot had a forgotten cemetery in the back that we would visit. Most of the people interred there died before 1800. To this day I remember reading an inscription on a weathered headstone that read, "here lies a sailor that traveled the seven seas." i will never forget that tombstone, the graveyard, the visits. I have often thought about that sailor.

I live in the USA. I'm old now, but when I was a young child my mother took us to her family plot in the countryside of Illinois each year to take care of the grave stones and put beautiful flowers on the graves along with having a picnic lunch. I found an iron door in the side of a hill and opened it before my mother came to pull me away. Wrapped in what looked like white gauze was a body on a shelf. Mom did the right thing and explained what we were seeing and made sure that I wasn't afraid. This was just the way of life in a cemetery!

Yea I don’t want to still be stinkin so many years later. For those afraid of being incinerated there is now a process whereby they use a very high degree of water pressure. I think I’d like that. Zoroastrian’s use an open pit allowing critters to take care of the remains. I don’t want to take up space. Don’t want to be a burden to anyone or anything in life or death.

I’m new to your channel. I am honored to have walked along with you as you explored. The Paupers Statue is beautiful and it’s good to remember those who weren’t so fortunate to have a stone. We think those in mausoleums are very fortunate, but in truth after seeing the flooding and damage, I believe those interred there are less fortunate than in ground burials. I’m to be cremated by my preference. May God bless the souls of those who are resting in this place. ❤ Thank you so much for sharing your journey with me.

Everyday people die in the UK who have no family or no friends or no money. Some die unidentified. Hundreds/thousands every year. What is society meant to do, leave them on the street? Take money from people who work and save to erect headstones for people who they don't know? Far as I understand, they bury them quite respectfully, the undertakers do the best they can, and they sometimes have somebody to do a blessing. And records are kept as best as can be discovered.

WOW, just found your channel by accident - I'm so glad I did. A strange subject, but fascinating too. I can just imagine the peace and quiet there, and all those past souls just resting there for ever. I've been to Highgate Cemetery - what a beautiful place that is - right there in North London, but so quiet and peaceful. Thank you for sharing with us - we will all end up there, or somewhere similar. Take care 🙂

Why should it be sad … decay is a natural process … at some stage memorials decay as well … as those that build them passed as well … over here graves are removed after some time … you rent them for 15 years and can extend … if nobody is there to pay or max rental period is reached eg 30 years … nothing is left … the bodies being long gone as here it is forbidden to stop the natural process of decay eg by preservation … graveyards in the end are not for the dead … they are only for the living to process grief …

What a magnificent graveyard! Thank you so much for taking us around. I am now subscribed to your channel. I am an archaeologist in Mexico , so even though I visit graveyards sometimes, at work I am dealing with just the remains of ancient people. A colleague of mine who is from Italy came to work with us for about a year. Before that he had worked in Peru and of course they have all those mummified people. He said that when you find them they have all their clothes on and things but the smell is just terrible and we are talking about people who are have been dead for 1,000 years at least. Luckily we usually don't have to deal with that here in Mexico, and he said he was really glad about that. I know the smell of death well, so I know you were absolutely not exaggerating about how bad it smelled in that one that you explored, there were so many people dead in there. I will be watching everything you guys make , you do such a great and respectful job.

Be very glad that you did not go into archaeology. As fun and wonderful as it is, it’s the quickest way to starve to death, especially if you marry another archaeologist. We only have two kids who are now in their mid-30s, and I can’t remember a time when we didn’t struggle. But we have had an extremely interesting life!

Decomposing bodies. I found it interesting to find out about decomposition. I’ve watched both decomp cleaners (what a job that is!!) and also people who do the work in funeral homes. It’s all about being human. Now I’ve learned about funerals, green burials, water cremation and regular cremation, & recently heard about the composting use of bodies…haven’t researched that yet, just heard mention of it. Decomposition videos of companies that do the clean-ups of unattended deaths or suicides or murders, etc. are quite interesting & might help people to understand what they’re seeing & what will happen to our bodies after our souls have departed. This was most interesting video & thanks to you both for it! It never gets old. Good Health to you two!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

But that has nothing to do with an old tomb. That decomposition should have been long done … seen bodies with hardly anything left after 6-12 months. But we also had bodies mummified after 5 years sitting undiscovered in flat. Of course different when body was preserved or environment causes problems with natural decomposition process. That here is no regular decomposition of a body.

Thanks for the tour; appreciated!

Wow this is the best one I’ve seen so far, amazing and yet also sad. Thank you for your videos. Watching from Adelaide, Australia 🦘 🐨

The thing with all the old cemeteries like this is that plots were sold "in perpetuity" to a family meaning forever and that family could legally bury as many of it's dead in that one plot to avoid further costs - sometimes coffin on top of coffin which is why headstones hold so many names. The grieving who placed their loved ones here (and in every old cemetery) were promised care and upkeep of the graves and monuments. Pretty short sighted business plan when you come to think if it because as the cemetery owners sell the plots there is profit to be made.....but once the cemetery was full....no more income! Soon those who owned the cemeteries abandoned them as the upkeep was too expensive to continue. So that's why there are so many of these derelict and unmaintained graveyards - there's no one to maintain them and there's a legal reason why graves can't be reused. There are deeds to each and every plot. So effectively it's "dead" land. Modern cemeteries only sell the plots for X amount of years....or even lease the plot. Once the time is up or if the lease isn't paid the landlords have the right to exhume and dispose of the remains so the grave can be reused.

Yes or the caretakers eventually ended up here as well and sometimes people are squeamish and want nothing to do with cemeteries... sometimes families are small and when they are gone.. I wouldn't care if my grave was never groomed as I love nature and the Bible says the living know they will die, but the dead know not anything.. so it's what we do with our lives while living knowing that our time is coming where we will be left to rest in peace, not chaos!!

@GanymedeXD

That was a quite nonsense scheme to sell the graves … after 1-2 generations nobody cares for unknown family member’s graves. Those that had to maintain the graves died as well. Here graves are leased … 15 years … you can … depending on county … extend once or twice. Then they are removed. Cases of unpaid graves cannot happen. You lease for 15 years … if you do not extend … they are gone. As no preservatives are allowed remains are gone … maybe some bones … that the cemetery disposes.

This old graveyard is fascinating, especially the family mausoleums. I suppose the areas that have little attention have very few visitors, which may explain why the mausoleums are overgrown with ivy and thorns. Unfortunate about the water damage to the coffins. Whoever built those mausoleums may not have taken into consideration the amount of rain water that could come down that hill. Great walking tour, thank you very much GV and Sue, for another great video. Have a great weekend. 😊

It’s amazing that the mausoleum houses three bodies that have disintegrated in such a sad way …normally they dry out but these are still partly clothed in places. I’ve never heard of “shelf” graves before guys…are they particularly Irish? They do need something done out of respect as you say, but thank goodness the souls have moved on to heaven so won’t be worried…it’s just the shells they lived in while here.🙏. Who on earth would you report this to though? 🤔🤔💐

I’ve never heard of shelf graves before guys! Are they particular to Ireland? That seemed sad, just remains rotting on a shelf like like…when more usually they are in a coffin and have more privacy so to speak…but their clothes had survived to an extent too.! I think we have mentioned the Edwardian/Victorian era of porcelain flowers, with maybe a dove under a glass dome (red flowers at the back) which are called “Immortelles”…. I used to see them on outside graves in England in my village when I was a girl, and thought them the most beautiful things I’d ever seen! But then not content with sheep keeping the grass down, they brought petrol mowers, and I was heartbroken when the immortelle with white flowers,and dove under a glass dome was smashed….I still remember how upset I was. Who would you report the Awful smell too? I’m guessing it’s the families task to bring order back in that mausoleum, but if the family has died out, what happens?…brrhhhh it’s a horrible job for someone,that’s for sure! Glad your cameras are working so well showing us things we would never have imagined seeing a few years back! Well done guys, your both Amazing folk! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋‍♀️💕😘😘

Over Memorial Day weekend I went and cleaned, edged, and decorated my beautiful Grandma Carol's & Grandpa George's grave. My daughter has a soft spot for those who died too soon. She decorated a memorial site for babies and placed fresh cut flowers & she also picked out 2 soldiers who had no decorations to place flowers also. I often feel that she is an old soul; I hope she lives a very long time. My Grandma Carol was a nurse for 41 years. One of her young patients was a burn victim who died after 3 weeks 😢 every year until my she passed away at 75 she decorated that little girl's grave. So... maybe my daughter takes after her which is a blessing ❤☦️
