Yes, bodies leak when they’re decomposing, right through the caskets. In a mausoleum, under each casket, there is a trough that tilts to the back where all of the chambers are connected to a drain pipe that empties into a septic tank; there is also a small stack pipe that draws fresh air in to keep things flowing and lessens decomposition odors. If the stack pipe isn’t maintained by pulling out leaves and debris, it plugs up and the drains won’t work at all, causing fluid to build up, which is a combo of rehydrated body liquids and condensation(there’s a LOT of condensation) and will drip out and down the front.

[@bridgetbright6258]

I thought once they are embalmed that decomposition stops?

[@happymack6605]

@@bridgetbright6258 Hi there. Embalming only slows down decomposition for a little while; just enough so they don’t smell during time before burial. The embalming fluid also is tinted so the body looks more natural after the blood is drained. Placing the body in the refrigeration unit after it’s prepared(embalming, clothing, makeup and hair) does most of the work at slowing decomposition before the wake and burial 💕

You can just opt for a green burial if you want to return to nature quicker I think green burial should be standard instead of putting people in mausoleums that eventually leak We should be allowed to bury our own dead There should be a designated place where people can do just that if they have the means to move the body as soon as you can get approval from the morgue and funeral home confirming that the person is indeed dead I think there should be an option for self-service just like in Bible days people buried their own dead Like you wash your own clothes at the laundromat, there should be something similar, a self-service funeral facility that anyone can use It would be user-friendly and you can choose green burial if that's what you want It would be much cheaper to engage the family if such a place existed They buried their own dead back in Bible days, and we need to bring that back, and make it an OPTION For those who don't have family, there should be Advocate for those specific individuals, advocates who will respect that person's wishes to the fullest Special advocates would be volunteers from the community to step up to the plate in place of the family they don't have In order to gain respect ror others, we need to pull together and learn how to participate and help out our funeral workers when possible Remember, your funeral workers do eventually go through some level of burnout sooner or later, so why not help them out when possible?

Let’s just say I no longer eat barbecue ribs- or blueberry muffins for that matter.

It actually smelled really good like wood and rich earth with an underlying sweetness that could only be human decomposition.

A good, maintained crypt will have drains, vents, and fans behind the scenes to reduce the smell. However, depending how the corpse drains in a crypt the body may somewhat mummify, preserving bone and skin a little longer than a ground burial.

[@cam7105]

Those fun liquids are what’s called human soup. Putrefaction occurs as part of the decomposition process, and when a body is left in a sealed casket the lack of oxygen combined with a dozen other factors causes the soft tissue to liquify. As the body decomposes, gasses build up and eventually the expanding gas will cause the tissue to rupture and explode, and eventually the gas will fill the casket and the pressure will cause the gasket to pop and the casket will leak. You don’t notice it in a ground burial and a properly maintained mausoleum with a properly maintained drainage system won’t ever show these signs either. The real problem here with moving remaining bodies is going to be the numerous biohazards the bodies present. Don’t forget that not only are we talking about human soup in ruptured caskets but whoever does the cleanup is contending with untold gallons of formalin which is heavily carcinogenic. The bodies at this point will also probably need to be cremated unless they haven’t liquified yet, though I wouldn’t put a lot of money on that being much of a possibility. At this point it’s probably better to seal the whole thing up so the formalin doesn’t seep into the ground or present an undue hazard to the living.

Funny thing is I used to work part time in a funeral home and I picked up some neat info. Most of the time if you get embalmed youve got about 2 weeks max before decomp takes place (not including things like caskets etc.) Also in mosoleums if the pressure changes due to not being sealed, heat etc and you bloat like stated above, when you pop you can actually blow the faceplate off the wall and now youre running down on to the floor in one big puddle.

Okay here is my 2 cents! My dad was in the burial vault business for many years and growing up I learned just about everything about the death industry! I first would say that whom ever owns the property must figure out how to redeem this back to beauty and yes I believe it's doable. Modern mausoleums use a plastic liner under the casket to prevent embalming fluid from leaking out as noted in the video! I would begin by power washing the entire place with disinfectant to get ride of the mold. Many molds are black but not dangerous. Microscopic exam would be necessary to confirm the type of mold. Then each niche would be opened, cleaned and a liner placed under the casket [not coffin we do not use coffins in U.S.A.] and resealed. The core of the building seems OK and that would be mostly cosmetic while the wings or outside would need demo and rebuilding. Grounds mowed and cleaned with a landscaping plan for new ground interments based on a new map plan. This stuff is all doable and this place could be a real beautiful place of peace and re dedication to perpetual care. Various local agencies, and possible federal funding to supply the funds for the work to be done. Local churches from the area who do not have their own cemeteries could have dedicated areas as well ! A local volunteer plan for beautification, etc.This video is 3 years old and I will research it's now status? Food for thought!

Wow! First, I’d like to say Lamont at Large - you are incredibly brave. Secondly, this is so very sad. They deserve so much better than this. This is one of the reasons I wish to be cremated and sprinkled in a field of flowers. Thank you for bringing this topic to light.

God bless the deceased and shame on whoever let this place fall into disarray, so sad.

[@christyhubbard8074]

As someone who used to work in the mortuary business I have to say that people deserve way better than this, even in death, so disturbing on so many levels.

I didn’t know this until I watched an episode of Ask A Mortician but: the reason why properly kept mausoleums don’t smell as much as you’d assume is due to controlled temperature and drainage on the inside. Since this mausoleum is abandoned there’s no temp control inside and it’s been left to bake. Heat is a corpse’s worst enemy. Plus, the liquid draining out the front of the plaques occurs when there isn’t a caretaker who keeps up with the drainage side of the internal room. Mausoleum bodies still leak even though they’re embalmed. Liquid needs to be drained out of each interred casket Oh plus, have you heard of exploding caskets? 🌞

No flies

[@mullittmustang256]

Heat is not a bodies worst enemy, it’s moisture. If it’s dry and hot or dry and cold a body will naturally mummify, moisture is what will cause bodies to rot

[@mariahleblanc1]

I thought they only had ashes and earns in them , that’s creepy

[@technophant]

The will often pop a latch or prop open a sealed casket so it won’t blow open. Imagine a jet of liquid spraying the front door.

This is the one time I wish I didn’t read the comments. I am freaked out by this. Thanks for the information and for not sugar coating it- I think. 😮

That stained glass is insane, hope someone can salvage.

Very sad. I would hate the thought of my loved ones resting place to be like this. Probably family don't have the money to move them. But in my eyes it should either be the owner of the property or the utharity . Thanks for sharing this it was interesting. Love from West Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧 ❤️

I enjoy listening to your confident, powerful voice, and interesting content. Much love & respect.

Thank you so much for covering this story, Lamont. It's yet another good example of why mausoleums are not a good idea for burial. There are more and more mausoleums all over the US falling into disrepair and abandonment.. because sooner or later the money for perpetual care runs out or is embezzled. Besides, buildings don't last forever. Aquamation for me! And I've told my family I will come back and haunt them if they don't respect my wishes. I will too!

[@ZacharyRodriguezVlogs]

I can't imagine how the spirits of those people feel knowing their resting place is in such disrepair.

[@alexm7627]

If they had faith in Christ they're doing alright to say the least dont worry

[@Marlaina]

The dead no longer worry about the affairs of this life.

[@alexm7627]

@Olivia K they feel the next one, whether that will be good or bad for them depends on whether they have are born again by faith in Christ or not

[@alexm7627]

@Olivia K God bless you

This is so sad!!!! I can't imagine how their families feel having to visit their loved ones under such rundown conditions. My heart goes out to all surviving family

[@Ephemeral2023]

The property is condemned, so, the families should not go in.

[@samwright834]

This breaks my heart seeing those resting places so ruined hopefully someone will buy this and restore it to its beautiful state I can imagine it once was rip to all those poor souls and prayers to their loved ones xx
