I used to work as a caretaker for a group of old cemeteries around my city. On my first day the older caretaker took me to see inside of one of the large mausoleums. As soon as we opened the door I was hit with a weird smell. The upper floor looked like a pretty standard, clean, mausoleum, but when we went down the stairs to the lower level we noticed that it was flooded with a few feet of dark water and you could see a water line above the first row of coffins, a few feet higher where the flood receded from. It was pretty gross.

I count 3 burials and based on the age of the crypt, the coffins have dissolved and the lead inner coffin has melted and exposed the bones. Bones are harder than the lead so they remain intact. The heat that those tombs can hold in summers and warm days melt the soft lead. So that is why most wooden coffins are gone in 100 years and the lead starts to sag and deform.

We get hot here... and in Houston it's hot and humid...summer days 105F or hotter in July thru August. 41C with humidity 95% that makes it very sauna like...We have mausoleums but I can't imagine going to a cemetery and it smelling like dead bodies. The doors on them are solid and wouldn't the gases have to get out? I know that hurricanes and the flooding will cause coffins to pop up and float and sometimes the lids open. So, many don't want to be buried in the ground but It's all gross in the aftermath.

The blue sky, white clouds, and lush green grass make a beautiful scene. Those empty crypts make me wonder what happened and why they weren’t used. My great-grandfather bought family burial plots, but he and his wife are the only ones in it. For various reasons, his children weren’t buried there. Even though I have a legal claim to a plot in it, the law says I would first have to find all of his living descendants and have them sign paperwork agreeing that I can be buried there. That means finding second and third cousins, several times removed, and our family genealogy records are not very thorough, so the plots will just go unused. I have no doubt that there are family members who are entitled to be buried there, and have no idea the place exists. People move away. Family history isn’t passed down. Maybe that’s what happened with the mausoleum in this video.

About 20 years ago The City Of Boston was sending inspectors to check the safety of the brick, underground mausoleum vaults "ceilings" that were built in the late 1600s and up to the late 1700s. I happened to be a witness to these inspections. One needs to be very careful when walking in these old cemeteries especially on high grassy mounds because there is usually a vault underneath, If the ceiling ever gave in you'd be down there for a long time if not forever unless you were with someone. I got to witness and photograph the opening of one of these vaults. The doors had been bricked over years ago to prevent break-ins etc. Upon them prying back all the bricks there was a rock set of stairs going down to about a 15 square foot area. Apparently when a family was running out of room they started stacking the coffins on top of each other and over time the coffins just caved in on each other, It was a mess down there. dark bones scattered etc.

Some families ran a weird routine in mausoleums. Some did in fact lay the body out on a platform or in an open or unsealed casket to hurry the process and moved the bones on to a niche or mini casket in order to lay out the next decedent. So it's possible those three caskets held more than one body, the loose bones may have been dragged out on the floor by rodents in search of calcium or grave robbers. Sometimes "residents" are disinterred for reburial elsewhere and it may be the family line died out suddenly and only four were ever in there and no one left to tend the site. I have so many questions when I see bodies in such a disrespectful state.

@ravendixon1099Ай бұрын
@@lynnkiser7728 Somewhat true. Ppl spend massive dollars for a casket when they should be spending it on the vault. The body doesn't turn into a "blob" because of water but instead from the bacteria inside the body. Decomposition can be delayed if the embalmer does an exceptional job. About 60% of the population is opting for cremation. Lavish funerals are what our elders wanted..not so much now. As for opening a grave, most operators are in a union which cemeteries in larger cities must employ hence the cost is higher.

The barrel vault mausoleum contents look like natural decomposition of wooden coffins has taken place spilling the ontents. Lead coffins are a bit later coming, so reflect in the other mosoleim. As in many of the other ones you looked at . it looks like someone was opening the sardine cans looking for valuables. The newer one looks like a later victorian model. I know the internal vaults are concrete. These vaults probably haven't had maintenance for a hundred years. However they give you a picture of how burial practices changed over time.

Here, in the U.S.A, we would NOT call that "barrel-shaped," but "Quonset Hut-shaped." A Quonset hut is basically a corrugated steel cylinder that is placed on its side and partially buried in the earth. This was invented for the military, who needed portable buildings that could be assembled by unskilled labor. We still use the design a lot at military facilities, distribution centers and airports. And, if you want to see a TRULY H U G E mausoleum, come to my town, Des Plaines, Illinois, U.S.A, just outside of Chicago. ALL SAINTS CEMETERY here, has the largest community mausoleum that I have seen in my entire life! The exterior is completely white. Inside the THREE FLOORS are filled with countless crypts that go from floor to ceiling, carpeted floors, sofas, restrooms, stained glass, statues and chapels. I have witnessed the disturbing aftermath of one strange phenomenon. Modern caskets are often fitted with perimeter seals, much like the seal on a refrigerator door. This creates an environment inside, that is conducive to "anerobic bacteria." As the bacteria digest the bodily tissues, they excrete methane and carbon dioxide gas. This gas pressurizes the interior of the casket, until the seal blows out. Often, along with the gases, the liquified remains of the corpse inside are expelled. More than once, I have seen this reddish/brown "goo" dripping down the front of a crypt! 🤮 My parents are buried outside in the cemetery here. When I am visiting their graves, if it begins to rain, I always take shelter in this magnificent mausoleum. 😊

The the courage and terrible sadness of all you Love behind never to be seen again? Wow, that’s very tough! My GGGGrandparents landed in Philadelphia in 1815. Alexander was born in Northern Ireland in 1772 so he was 43 when he left all he knew and his wife Rachel. He died in 1860 and I have both their photographs taken late 1850s.

They say that when you see wood on the place where the stained glass windows are..means either vandalism or a blowout. A woman from a Southern State..went to visit her Father's grave..and got the shock of her life seeing the coffin..and remains out on the pavement. Her Father was recently deceased..and the poor woman has to think of that for the rest of her life..poor thing. Anyway..it happens..and I was told that if a blowout occurs from a Mausoleum..the Undertaker is called..and has to take care of "things." Creepy stuff..but true.

2:38 I guess you can see where the coffins disintigrated, you can make out the skeleton and rib cages are more or less in position on the right, with the one in the center above the skull on the screen looking like the outline is there. I can't believe they haven't been disturbed at some point in the last 180 years. That iron door isn't much of a barrier for vandals. 12:16 That 2nd mausoleum was surely broken into at some point... you can see where they bricked up a hole in the back of one of the upper vaults. If there's more vaults behind it, that makes sense. The rubble pile is just were the workers put all the broken masonry and scattered bones before re-sealing the building. You can see a coffin handle on the left, beside the stone masonry pile. Looking at the back, the height of that bricked up hole may correspond with the height of the hill, and the stone pile could be the broken stones from the stone facade before getting to the red brick... and they tossed it all in there and re bricked up the hole. Probelm is I don't see any obvious stone replacement on the back side when he walks around... but it's pretty quick. and the stone weathers over time. A place like that would be a magnet for teenagers in the states.

I used to work at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood and my grandparents buried there. I went to see their graves and walked thru the cemetery. I saw one mausoleum where the door had been freshly opened. A worker there asked me if I wanted to look in. Inside were two closed crypts and one that was being prepared for a third coffin. On the left side of the mausoleum was the coffin of Marian Davies, an actress during the Golden Days of Hollywood. In the middle was the coffin of William Randolph Hearst, Marian Davies’ sugar daddy who invested heavily and blatantly in her “stardom.” The cemetery was preparing to inter Hearst’s cuckolded wife on his right side. If I were her, I’d rather been buried in a pauper’s grave than be disrespected by my cheating husband for eternity.

It looks like a Quonset hut. It would make sense to have some kind of modular mausoleums.

Interesting that in the second mausoleum just above the two coffins on their ceilings, you can see "deposits" I surmise this is from the offgassing of the bodies as they decomposed. IMHO, it's worth reflecting on cemeteries just to remind us, the living, how short life is and how much we need to do as much as we can for others while we are here, because in 100 years there won't be anyone left who will remember us anyway.

There were two places I loved as a boy. The dump and the cemetery. I promised myself when I was an adult I'd live in one or the other.

Thank you GV. Glad we’re not wealthy and wouldn’t have a family mausoleum! Your remains usually end up all over the place. 🤦♀️ Either 6 feet under or just get cremated for me and don’t take up any space. 😂

The first one the barrel shape I'm always amazed at the reasonable condition my cottage was built in 1840 in Whitby but it's had much maintenance since then I'm sure !.... The second one how elaborate with the balcony effect but they always seem so achingly desolate inside and forgotten but still very appealing to watch these memories and symbols of past people's lives. Very intersting film

Remember folks. When you pop your clogs. Dont get put into a one of these vaults. Cuz the first thing you’ll turn into is mushrooms on the ceiling.
