A Conversation in America's Most Metal Cemetery

[@bowlingbbabe]

Brought here by Ask a Mortician!!!

[@POtterAAngERagon]

Avengers Infinity War is the best crossover. Atlas Obscura + Ask a Mortician: Hold our beers

[@atlasobscura]

Ha! We are humbled to be held in such high esteem!

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

How on Earth does this channel only have 55k subscribers?! I'm so glad 'Ask A Mortictian' steered me here! 👍❤️🤗

[@atlasobscura]

[@MeAuntieNora]

There's so many great videos for you to watch!

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

@@MeAuntieNora I plan to start binge watching later tonight!😉

[@mrs.elitenugz8491]

mom2wyatt. Me too. Thank you Caitlin 💀 😊💜💪

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

And it's _still_ steering people over here, too! I just finished the 1st half of this story over on Ask a Mortician, and here I am... about to subscribe. 😁

[@atlasobscura]

Spend some time with us and Caitlin from Ask a Mortician in a METAL cemetery! It was a treat getting to wander the paths and explore the history... and we couldn't have asked for a better friend to do it with.

[@annakeye]

*+Atlas Obscura* Thanks *+Caitlin* for sending me here and thanks to *+Ella Morton* for this video as well. I agree with the _beauty in decay_ motif (so to speak) to which you both refer. Beauty is not always in the new, the young or the fresh. The green patina of aged copper, the patterns of crazing and chipped ceramic, moss and lichen on granite or stone.., all these things are beautiful. Subbed.

[@Kimmaline]

Out of the HUNDREDS of channels that I follow, I have notifications on for less than a half dozen of them. So I woke up today with a notification from Atlas Obscura, Ask a Mortician, and a history channel that uploads about 4 times a year. I hit the KZbin jackpot.

[@atlasobscura]

Quick!!! Time to fulfil your wildest dreams!

[@mar2d258]

what history channel do you follow?

[@traci3868]

Came here from Caitlin's channel! Incidentally, that bit about the gravedigger and the family at the grave sounds interesting. I'd like to know more about that.

[@belizeguy]

I am subscribed to both channels, and this was one of my favorite collaborations that I have seen . A small part of me was disappointed that Metal Musicians were not the subject, but actual metal does work for me! Thanks Ella and Caitlin!

[@atlasobscura]

We'll jot it down on lists of things to cover ;) Thanks for watching!

[@johndifrancisco3642]

That's what I was thinking! I came here just because of the Metal reference. I LOVE Hard Rock! It was a nice surprise to see Caitlin here, being a Deathling myself. I'll definitely be checking out this channel's content. FINALLY a suggested video that fits! :)

[@belizeguy]

@@johndifrancisco3642 Agreed ! Awesome content .

[@nina-dx8hb]

So odd seeing caitlin in a video without her quirky, iconic ask a mortician video editing.

[@RavynGuiliani]

Both of you have glorious hair!

[@WaffeHo]

I was thinking the same thing. Love both of their retro looks

[@WaffeHo]

BENTHAM'S HEAD !!!!!!

[@WaffeHo]

For the Atlas Obscura subscribers that have no idea the awesomeness of Bentham's Head, here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3fZipmrrL-pr7s

[@Kimmaline]

@@WaffeHo I've only seen it like a half dozen times, so thanks for letting me easily enjoy it again today. Ben-Tham's heeeeeeaaaad.

[@lindsayarmstrong845]

Bentham’s head infiltrates Atlas Obscura, next stop The World!

[@DVincentW]

Ask a Mortician / Caitlin brought me here and BOOM another perspective! Great to see you again! I love Metal. erm music. Do any of them have bells on them?

[@DVincentW]

and subbed..

[@DaHaiZhu]

Have you seen the Woodmen headstones in Omaha NE? They're size and shape reflect the age and standing of the person buried there.

[@nicoleschumacher6886]

Love this crossover! I hope to see more like it! Been an Ask a Mortician subscriber for a long time! I love how much that channel has grown and I hope yours will flourish as well!

[@franceslambert8070]

I came to this site because of Ms Caitlin Doughty, of The Order of the Good Death, and am hooked on the "Obscure". From what I have seen so far, I will be visiting for a long time.

[@atlasobscura]

Excellent! Welcome to our channel, and thank you for such a lovely note :)

[@some1won]

AO is one of the most awesome things on the internet. I like where you guys are taking this channel

[@atlasobscura]

[@d4mdcykey]

Being a fan of Metal music, I totally misinterpreted the title of this video, haha. Nonetheless, it was highly interesting and something I was unaware of. Thanks for the upload.

[@evangeline77x]

I know! When I started Catlin's video and she said she was in Brooklyn, for a second I thought she might be going to Peter Steele's grave and doing like a tour of "metal" graves. Though when I realised she meant actual metal "headstones" I wasn't disappointed, still a very fascinating subject

[@MegaCatlady66]

Ask a Mortician!!!brought me here and i stayed for the content you have on here u got yourself a new sub

[@atlasobscura]

Aw, thanks for letting us know, Angela! Good to have you here with us. Thank you for subscribing!

[@A3Kr0n]

My niece really liked Caitlin's book I gave her a few years ago and my dad really likes the Atlas Obscura book I got him last year. It's a double win!

[@atlasobscura]

🙌 for double wins! Caitlin's book is incredible.

[@maggers2580]

I love that Atlas Obscura has a youtube channel. I found their website a while ago while i was looking up Houston buildings/attractions and now im hoping they can have videos of them. I live in Houston some of these building are not as accessible so it would be nice to have a view of them. Like i heard the Magic Island was opening up again but for as long as I can remember, the sphinx building has sat there and it would be interesting to have a video about it cause its so strange to me.

[@atlasobscura]

Hey Margarita! They sound lovely. We don't seem to have any of these buildings on our website, but we'd definitely love to hear more about them. We'll take a look :)

[@maggers2580]

@@atlasobscura I noticed. It's a weird, kind of iconic, building in our city. It used to be a magic show restaurant that was Egyptian themed but was abandoned and so It just sat their looking so out of place and outdated but as a kid I would see it every time we passed by it on the freeway. Everyone knows it but it's an enigma. There is a lot of weird little places around Houston too. And people. I would recommend the Wilde collection. It's a store/museum that just has a lot of strange curiouous and it's fun to go look at all the cool stuff they have.

[@atlasobscura]

@@maggers2580 Oh, this sounds like an excellent tip! We'll take a look as soon as we can.

[@ERYN__]

I like that this video shows how tall Caitlin is. Meeting her in person was lovely but she is taller than I expected.

[@foxybrown1g]

I found this video because of Caitlyn at Ask a Mortician. I’m a new subbie,! I just love learning about the world in new & exciting ways!

[@akumthonglongkumer9365]

Coming after Caitlin's chanel ...🙌🙌 so happy

[@wolfman75]

I am a new subbed, I came from Caitlin's Channel. I would like to say Thank You Ellen & Caitlin for the Wonderful Tour!!! Also Thank You for the explanation on the Headstones!!! I am Just So Fascinated with Old & New Cemeteries!!! I just wish ppl had more respect these days!!! It is just so unnerving to hear that ppl steal the metal/copper Headstones!!

[@FairyFrequency]

Wow! Very interesting location. Fascinating. Thank you for sharing with us. Wishing you a lovely weekend x)

[@atlasobscura]

Have a great weekend too! :)

[@arrowzfly21]

Love Caitlyn’s outtro.

[@atlasobscura]

It was pretty excellent!

[@carolinedu4013]

Yay a Ask a Mortician collaboration!

[@vincenthawke3146]

Arrived here via Ask a Mortician, left after subbing! Now to settle down a binge watch!

[@Ammo08]

One of our local cemeteries has a number of metal gravestones similar to the one at 5.07. they all have a similar icon on the top of the cross that I think may be some sort of fraternal organization, maybe Elks, or something like that. They are all so corroded you can't read them.

[@nahzahrashid4192]

Here because of Caitlin and really enjoyed your work.....

[@gothicmom5232]

Visiting your site per Catlin D's channel!!👍👍🤘🤘METAL!!

[@atlasobscura]

Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay here!

[@arnieslab]

Ask a Mortician sent me here. Great channel!

[@TinaDavisblackrose]

Lovely walk through the cemetery....

[@candycolriv]

S/o to AskAMortician for bringing me here! Definitely gained a new sub 🙂 I read a comment that mentioned you having a book? What?! I need it! I LOVED Caitlin’s

[@atlasobscura]

Hi! Hello, welcome! We do have books, thank you for asking :) Here is our original book (trib.al/CK3PnPm) and here's our recently released Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid (trib.al/vzGVymn)!

[@lauraschlueter287]

I subscribed to Caitlin quite some time ago after finding her through the AO necropants video so it was cool to see her here again.

[@ndnaf3705]

Here from Ask a mortician! I didn't know there was a Atlas Obscura channel! Subbed!

[@jaysmok2893]

And there's poetry in despair....

[@sonial.3332]

Here from Ask a Mortician :)

[@Tina06019]

This is very interesting. I admit, it certainly convinced me that any gravestone I commission & buy will be granite. Smallish & flat, but granite.

[@williamdixon8961]

Atlas has a giant book out now. I got me one, it is cool.

[@williamdixon8961]

Two classic beauties.

[@jdthornt]

Caitlin is my spirit animal

[@tylercordell577]

Love this so much lol 😂😂😂

while i can't buy the book yet, i'll be hanging around here in the meantime...

Love 💘💘💘 Catholic cemeteries. 😊😊

[@shortcakey]

Yaaass

[@wyomingadventures]

Great video! Crazy that the head stones looked 👁 like stone Germans do some different things I know my stepfather is a German there's a lot of German graves in the midwest

[@teachergirl41]

307 Wyoming 4E there are thin, punched metal cross headstones attached to cement bases in cemeteries in mid-Missouri.

[@AnnAmbler]

Here's a direct link to the companion video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opLTaZ-iebejq7c

[@cynthiaejiogu8442]

If you would like a good companion video go to Hollywood Graveyard channel! They just did a 2 part video on the grave yards in Bronx Brooklyn! KZbin unite! Love Caitlyn too! Go to ask a Mortician! My fave! See her Pearl Harbor video today 12/7!

[@ritabellealkara346]

Loveeee 😀😁

[@dirtyronboy]

Love this collaboration!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@LordSStorm]

Decay... Decay... Decay!

[@MsCruisein]

I think America's most metal cemetery is Moore Memorial Gardens cemetery in Arlington, Texas. Getcha pull. C'mon.

[@eve6875]

You sat on someone's grave with Caitlin...LUCKY GRAVE!

[@mattnobrega6621]

You two foxes should do some pin up photos for a rad calendar in that cemetary. \m/

[@Yeahpuh]

Ask a mortician brought me here.

[@eve36368]

So basically metal headstones decompose like the people they represent

[@elzb1593]

but what about the depravity

[@Indy.]

It worked - I smashed the like and subscribe button :)

[@pingpaul]

I found it!

[@allenschmitz9644]

You would love a rusty car grave yard.

[@peilingpey697]

wow, miss Morton looks like she could be one of the Heathers

[@buddyvincent9205]

That's the "LL" train.

[@nekograce7914]

If I were a billionaire, I’d have all these gravestones redone I’m stone and a museum created to house the old metal 🎸 ones for they are works of art at this point. My family are...oddballs and go to old cemeteries to take pictures and read gravestones to honor ppl who have long since been forgotten. So to think these gravestones are disappearing to the elements. Well it makes me wish I was a billionaire.

[@rtj7836]

That looks like a German soldiers jacket

[@gracerabey3719]

The middle ages were magic

[@kayla7249]

It may just be me but it looks like yall are falling in love

“ anaesthetic failure “ But they the most interesting Graveyards Who wants a boring,mundane eye pleasing cemetery?

Are you Australian? 🙂

Hello fellow Deathlings! I subbed. Lets help her out :)

unless you are visiting a family member or friend, you have no fuckin business being in someone elses cemetary
