THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

That cemetery is fully of photos on the markers. Not all cemeteries are like that so that certainly makes this one special!

[@FacesoftheForgotten]

yes, Italian and Czech cemeteries traditionally have these porcelain ovals on most stones. On the other hand, Irish, German, and other European cultures -almost never. Bot now lately, it seems to be catching on with everyone, just in the last decade or two.

[@thedirtyknobs]

I use to work in a cemetery, those chips in the glass most likely came from rock being thrown from the mowers .

[@angietunstall2555]

A shame about the cameos getting chipped, as I guess they are not cheap to produce or install. The covers seem mostly to stop them being chipped, broken or dislodged, although the cover Ron lifted in this video revealed a chip on the photo placed on the headstone. However, the photo on the inside of the cover looked fine. These cameos serve to keep the memory of the loved one fresh, when otherwise, with the passage of time, the image of the loved one would start to fade.

[@ilanamillion8942]

Italian gravestones are my absolute favourites especially with the pictures.

[@maryannevasilakopoulos2362]

Greek headstones are the same, so interesting and such a tribute to the loved one.

Thank you 🙏🏻 Yes I had vaccine & I am counting on it. Cough attacks are so wicked.

[@14tfisher]

According to the newspaper I read online the Borsellino cousins were bootleggers, and owned a speakeasy in Cleveland. They were found in a parked car in a field outside of Cleveland. Both were bound, gagged and strangled, and stuffed in the turtle back of a buick coupe. Back in the 20's & 30's the trunk of the car was called a turtle back (luggage department) because it was shapped like a turtle shell.

[@KimberlyLew]

I read they were strangled but didn’t know details. Thanks!

[@johnwilkinson1916]

This grave is my neighbors parents and brothers who died very young. Grandpa jack. Is here buried next to his wife and boys. They came from Italy moved to Morton grove Illinois. There two daughters and husbands are in the mausoleum across the street at queen of heaven. They lived on my block were I grew up on. There other son is buried a few rows down. He was in the navy he passed away in 1957. That’s great you went in so far. Thank you so much.

Beautiful cemetery. My dog heard the geese flying over, woke her from a nap! Some of the statues take your breath away, the pain is so real and intense.

Mount Carmel is a very interesting cemetery. Enjoy your walks through it.

[@caspence56]

At 14:52, the man that you said had no name: he was the one named "Carmen". Yes, that was a popular male name among Italians; I should know because my Dad had a brother and a cousin both named Carmen.

The size of this cemetery always amazes me. And also the markers which are so generous. They must have been quite expensive. Really sad how young they were. RIP to all.

[@peggykellum8659]

You are amazing with the respect you show the deceased

[@kristandagley7089]

Putting beautiful faces to who is buried there is so powerful to me. The only ones Ive come across in New England (used to do photography I'm the cemeteries years ago ) unfortunately we're in bad shape, so I had to stick with only the sculptures. This is gorgeous Ron. Thank you for bringing my fire back, and as always for doing this. This was a phenomenal watch❣️

[@Hello-ye2bi]

Thank you so much for all that you do for the viewers/subscribers. Each episode contains so many hours of research, planning, traveling, and editing. The viewers are given a priceless gift in return. I admire the images along with the Funerary sculpture.The way Ron coneys a story is completely remarkable. The viewer becomes engrossed in the video while being drawn into the life story of an individual. A show of hands on an extended episode, such as a documentary, with our favorite Curator/Docent/Researcher/Architect & Pilot. Cannot wait for FOTF to get to 100,000 subscribers!!!! 🖐️

[@Hello-ye2bi]

@@Regina0964 thank you. I really enjoy all of the episodes. Mount Carmel is an incredible location. I'm just happy wherever FOTF goes. @Faces of the Forgotten- Ron, maybe the damage to the images is possibly caused by lawnmowers kicking up rocks? Then again, nothing would shock me (the cemetery where my mother is buried was vandalized by local teens several years ago). Little Irene and the angel on her stone was gently dropping a lilly towards the ground. I need to find my notes on what the symbolism is referencing.

Thank you Ron for this, I am now getting familiar with the names of the cemeteries you visit more often and I find this one beautiful because of the pictures of the people, it makes paying respect to them more personal somehow.

Thanks for turning back the sands of time! I enjoy all the forgotten historical stories that have been forgotten. Should do one on the Polar Bear Monument, White Chapel Cemetery, Troy, Michigan.

I am so glad I found this channel my husband and I when we’re out on the motorcycle and he used to be a smoker so we would have to pull off to the side of the road so we can have a cigarette and we would always look for old cemeteries out in the middle of nowhere sometimes they only had like maybe 40 graves in it but they were so cool!!! thank you for going around the United States and showing us some really cool graves we’re going to continue to do that you just motivated me!!

I think I would blame lawn mowers putting the holes in the photos before guns. Mowers like to throw rocks. I think these walks through Mount Carmel looking at the pictures are my favorite videos.

Maybe when you do these you can mention what section you are in. My grandparents and their two sons are buried here at Mount Carmel. They lost their one son with a heart problem at the age of 17 and then nine months later lost their 14 year old son to an accidental gunshot to the head at a wedding. My Mom said it was heartbreaking (these were her parents and brothers buried there). I think they are in section 11. The last name is Taormina, They also have a family grave like you have been showing with pictures. How tragic to lose two sons so young within 9 months of each other. I have many relatives buried here. They also lost a baby son at 9 months old. Mom thinks he had leukemia. She said he just withered away to nothing. He is buried in an unmarked grave there not to far from my grandparents and uncles. This was so many years ago. They are near the road I think in section 11. Every Sunday as a kid after mass my parents would take us here to visit all of the graves. My Dads parents are buried here too but have ground level flat stones. I am hooked on your channel btw.

[@flocosta]

@@Regina0964 This was all so many years ago that I wasn't even born yet. My Mom use to talk about it sometimes. My Grandparents were born in the 1800's and the two sons died in the early 1900's. I do remember how sad my Mom would get when she talked about her brother's though.
