*Untouched* Abandoned Funeral Home ⚰️💀😳

Hello everyone. This past weekend I had the opportunity to explore a very prestigious location. Sitting in Michigan lies an untouched beautiful abandoned funeral home. Shut down in 2019, the owners were forced to step down due to negligence in the mortuary fields. Join me, as we take a look at this former place of resting 🖤⚰️

[@maryannanaya7126]

The sound is nice, loud and clear. Nice funeral home to bad they were negligent.

[@urbanexplorer260]

I like how you use your ears and or earbuds. Plenty of other viewers complaining about the sound when it’s clearly audible! Thank you for clarifying

That machine was a "Portaboy"Embalming Machine. It only pumps fluids and doesn't extract blood or cavity fluids. The tank on top is filled with 2 gallons of water and 16 oz of arterial fluid. It has a pulse feature to simulate a beating heart. Blood and body fluids run down the trough of the table along the sides and into a slop sink or toilet. My brother is a Funeral Director/Embalmer. This is how I know.

[@urbanexplorer260]

That is so neat! The same model was used on Harry S. Trumans body at time of passing

[@richarddonahue3565]

The lift was/is used to lift the body and place it in the casket from the dressing or embalming table. It never leaves the funeral home. The embalming machine is a Duotronic. The "urns" you speak of are sample burial vaults. The family can see the different ones before making a choice. The casket goes in the burial vault which is in the ground before anyone gets to the cemetery. Many families never pick up the ashes and just leave them there. One f/d where I used to live went to a local cemetery, with a shovel, and buried ashes about every six months or so for those who never came to pick them up.

[@urbanexplorer260]

Thanks for the information 🪦😊

[@sherreestroud5870]

That was a lowering device to place a body in the casket,the embalming machine was a dueotronic embalming machine not a porta boy , how I know this I was professional embalmer for over 46 years.

[@urbanexplorer260]

That is very informing and interesting thank you Sherree!

[@nuttybar9]

Did you ever see any spirits and did any ever follow you home?

[@urbanexplorer260]

@@nuttybar9 That is such a good question because I do believe so! There were a lot of orbs floating around in my clips when I reviewed them, and there was even one where I think a person may have been standing looking at me from the viewing room area, I could literally see a faint white outline of a person 👻

[@jerry8126]

The embalming machine is a Edwards Equipment Co. Duotronic Injector Embalming Machine, the small concrete boxes are burial vault models to show family.

[@leehollis9297]

Very clean and tidy for an abandoned funeral home. The vandals haven't found it yet.

[@urbanexplorer260]

Yes very clean inside. And I am not a funeral or a mortuary expert either Mr. Hollis 😉

[@chuckschillingvideos]

Actually, I'd argue usually it's the owner (or beneficiaries of the estate) who generally trash funeral homes that have been shut down and abandoned.

[@connieflores7362]

I used to work at a Funeral Home.

[@joydunn2109]

Someone ought to take possession of all those Caskets, Chairs in the Chapel and all the Furniture. They could fix up those Caskets and sell at a Discounted price or Better yet donate them to poor Families, This is Really a Damn Shame. You would think there would be some Organization or something that they would suppose to go to.

[@wes4912]

This was one of the craziest places me and this KZbinr been too. Genuinely so much information, a lot of mystery’s, hope no one destroys it.

[@ms.krueger2660]

Crazy! I wonder why everything was just left and not sold!!?? Nothing creepier than an abandoned funeral home. 😱. Looks so clean ! They need to sell while the building is still in good shape.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

Might have been seized in bankruptcy or criminal fraud proceedings. If you go to the beginning there is narration that explains that the owner had failed to deposit nearly $300,000 in prepaid funeral/cremation deposits.

[@wes4912]

It was crazy going in there and seeing everything untouched, it was a great experience. Thanks for sharing this with the world Keep pursing your passion ! 😇

[@Prolixu]

what is the address I would like to explore it

[@mariamR66]

So Amazing video i love it thanks so much for video sir

[@dennytoby]

No prob hearing the audio. The "Urns" are outer burial vault samples (gold, silver etc.) to show customers and are different prices. The casket is placed in those at the cemetery. In almost every funeral home many, many times cremains are left and never picked up. It's quite sad. Those phones are the "AT&T Merlin System" and were quite good for businesses. You won't see many of those around anymore. Those were usually on lease. In all, a very nicely done video. I have subbed. Much Success to you!!

[@urbanexplorer260]

Thank you for the support Dennis 😊

[@bradjohnson4500]

I enjoyed your video. Although what you believed were earned are just displays of vaults. Also the mechanism that you said was used to lower bodies into the ground is incorrect that was to place bodies in caskets. Also the cremated remains is very common when a person has no family members or it was a state cremation many times the remains were unclaimed. It is sad but very common

[@urbanexplorer260]

Thank you for the information, Brad ☺

[@capturingspirits7416]

Wow 👀

[@grindingdeviance1864]

Awesome! That home looks straight out of a horror movie! :)

[@urbanexplorer260]

It certainly felt like it 😳, I do truly believe I heard scratching sounds and deep growling noises in the vents, potentially demonic

[@liyanam7888]

Everything looks untouched. There is not even dust...... The structure of the home is beautiful, not seem like Furneral Home. The other thing is, that we try to kee our beauty even after death...

[@wes4912]

Constructive criticism is always needed but make sure you guys are still nice about it !!!

[@janetritson5737]

Some families do not want the "cremains" (the correct term for cermation or ashes) The funeral homes keep them indefinately until they will properly buried. Sometimes local cemetaries will bury them at no charge. The funeral home cannot dispose of the cremains.

[@urbanexplorer260]

Well those cremains could be sitting for years to come!

[@sarahmariah100]

Ok that is ligit creepy. Ik stealing is against the code - buuuut - maybe you could just borrow those reserved chair things for Thanksgiving and then put rhem right back after

[@urbanexplorer260]

That would make for a spooky Thanksgiving lol

Usually the owner (or family of the owner) will trash the joint once the license is lost and the business is shut down. I don't think I've ever seen one that wasn't a shambles.

This is the Royal Funeral Home in Battle Creek, Michigan. And unfortunately the owner boarded up all entrances and locked all the doors 😞

[@SusanStrohl]

Something should be done with the remain that they left someone should call the state and let them know

[@urbanexplorer260]

The last time I heard LARA (Licensing And Regulatory Affairs), was ongoing an investigation into the funeral home. The last time I tried to get in the owner had closed off ALL entrances and locked every door, sadly.

[@colormeruby2]

Where's the rest of the house? I wanted to see more.

That was most of the house in its entirety! 🏚️ it was actually all above the funeral home itself and most everything if not all was left 😨
