Cathal, you are in Northern Ireland! I know that masoleum well! I saw it via a video by a gentleman who lives in the Castlereage Hills, County Down, Northern Ireland. He showed it in great detail a little over three years ago. I loved it then and I love it now! It looks exactly the same. It never had any overgrowth or ivy on it at all. The urn and veil, the whole building is so unique. But I never saw inside. All very different caskets and urns in very good condition. It is such a beauty, thank you for venturing into Northern Ireland, maybe now you will visit my family members there also. ♥️🙏☘️

@janetslicer3637 dumb question: is N Ireland dangerous?
@janetslicer36376 күн бұрын
@demcadman That is a complicated question. Yes and no depending on where you go. If you don't know the history of "the troubles" you should read up on it. My father was born and raised there. His whole family goes back to the 1600's there but are originally from Scotland. Why do you ask? My son and I are going back to bury my parents there. I have heard some very troubling stories recently so I have been hesitating for two years.

Hi. I found a small bit of info for you. The Murland family were wealthy local mill owners, they lived at Ardnabannon and it is thought that the architect who designed their house also designed the family mausoleum. This was Thomas Turner, a Dublin-born architect who began his career as an assistant to Charles Lanyon in Belfast and who had a long and productive career designing buildings all over Ireland including Stormont Castle and Coleraine Town Hall. Not much, but it will help. x

Wow. Those coffins are perfectly preserved for over 150 years. And those Urns, just wow. GV, you are so respectful to the dearly departed families and I admire and respect you tremendously for that. And the way the mausoleum is built, just blows my mind. To have that many family members in there, is just a testament to their admiration for their parents. For a mill owning family, back then milling was the biggest paying job someone could work for. It just astounds me. Rest In Peace to the Murland family. Another great video GV.

Any memorial in a cemetery is a testimony of the living rather than the dead. I want to be cremated and my ashes spread in the bush near my home without any memorial. Cost =$0. My wife's ashes were spread in the bay close to home as she wished. Occasionally I spread some rosemary (remembrance) in the water near where her ashes were spread. She had MS for her last 26 years. She couldn't ambulate for the last 15 years. I was her carer.

That is a very fine design for a Mausoleum! The person who designed it had the right idea to use strong iron, stone, and mortar, and didn't make it totally underground and air tight, so it held water which will rot the coffins and the building faster than vandalism and storms. Although, it also looks to be renovated inside and out, which is why the coffins were numbered, so they could go back where they originally were placed. Hopefully, they are able to keep the graveyard and Mausoleums intact, and not turn it into a 'nature preserve', which is code for letting it get overgrown and forgotten, as the graves decay and get vandalized.

Hello Cathal….what a beautifully tidy,well kept grave yard first of all, and then that amazing mausoleum!! When you see it was built for husband and wife, and three very young children, I puzzle as to why they needed to have such a huge building! It is lovely at the front, but they have taken up so much space! The structure that was partly over grown, looked like a door shape made in marble, or granite, but nothing placed in it, do you think it Might just represent the door to the “other side” maybe? Just a simple message, for people to interpret as they will? That’s all I felt, but of course with the ivy overgrowth you can’t get the full picture. Just my thoughts. Love and light to you both!

I take back what I said about the Mausoleum……I missed you looking inside, and had NO IDEA there would be so many coffins and cremains!!……wherever have all these family members come from!! NOW I realise just why they needed one so big! I was just going by the first few names you read on the outside, but my goodness! So sincere apologies,! This makes me think of a comment I made recently which just showed the lead linings of coffins in a mausoleum that you and Sue showed us recently m and I coukdnt imagine where the outside shell of the actual casket had gone. This shows that the caskets don’t just disintegrate….so that must have been vandals.
