You are correct. There is no "good" method of final disposition. I am a licensed funeral director and embalmer , and I will admit that. For a short time I was considering entombment for myself when the time comes. But its situations like you show here that changed my mind. After a few decades, your family will be gone. And then who is going to care for your mausoleum? No one most likely. It will eventually decay away or get damaged by falling trees or whatever. Then your casketed remains will be left exposed to the elements and people. Even the most well maintained perpetual care cemeteries now will one day become abandoned if time lasts. So I agree with you, as bad as it seems, burial is the best option. But then again, in a hundred years or maybe even less, who is to say that someone won't build a shopping center or highway on your grave or cover it w/ a manmade lake or something? Great video as always!

The Native People's and some in the Midwest offer the more natural, placing body on a high stretcher and allowing nature to recycle the Human Vessel, is more settling to my mind.

Leo you might want to check these vaults to make sure that they were not originally receiving vaults, back in the days before they had the power equipment to dig Graves year-round in the winter time they had the storage vaults where they would put the coffin at and wait for the springtime then dig the grave. When all of the modern power equipment came available some of the receiving votes were converted into actual family final resting place.

Fascinating video. I am from Colorado, and we never see the internment of steel vaults in a mausoleum. Caskets are always in niches behind a slab, or a few of the very old ones have the coffin visible on a thick slate shelf, or sometimes on a riser. The mausoleums shown looks so much older than the actual date that they were built.

I use to live in west end. We use to play up there as kids, and of course around Halloween tell ghost stories at these very same mausoleums. I have multiple family members buried there in the 'Family' site. There's a knee wall around the site and about nine members buried there. It's also were I spent two day during the '77 flood you've talked about before. 😲😎

I’m glad you have your cemetery to visit and study history. So many cemeteries in California have been turned into Pioneer parks. That’s where they remove the headstones, but leave the graves intact and turn it into a public park. Most of the headstones are destroyed no way to trace who’s buried where.

Another great video Leo😊 sadly these poor souls may be forgotten by mankind, but I assure you God knows each and every one of them 🙏, keep up the good video historical documentation. And also I might want to add those that are open with the steel doors back many years ago for used as receiving vaults, if a person passed away and the ground was frozen solid the coffin will be placed in one of these vaults waiting for the spring thaw then a proper grave would be dug n a normal burial take place, but now in the modern time using mechanical backhoe to dig Graves with they are no longer used but some of them have been converted to be a normal mausoleum, you see this quite a bit in your northern states especially when areas where the ground was freeze so hard you could not dig a grave, the Queen of heaven cemetery just south of Chicago as I recall has six of these that have been converted to normal mausoleum.

I’ve never understood with cemeteries why the people that maintain the grounds don’t pull up self seeded saplings when they are small instead of allowing them to become giant trees that destroy graves & mausoleums. I guess it’s a case of they won’t do an inch more than they are instructed to do, common sense doesn’t seem to apply. It’s just the same here in the UK. It’s very sad to see all those people in that mausoleum with no name & it will soon be destroyed by either falling trees or their roots.

Cremation is the best way to keep people from robbing a grave. Whether it is tomorrow or a thousand years from now, there isn't going to be anything for anyone to take away or damage. And if you need a monument to proclaim you were here, 50 years after it is made, it may get torn down and never replaced!

Most of these old graves are forgotten, because there may not be any living relatives left to look after them. However all these mausoleums need to be cleaned up and fixed up the best one can. I think the City should be responsible for that. For the most part this Cemetery was pretty clean, I have seen far worse ones. I is nice to remember the dead from old, as well as their ornate stones with their names. It is part of Americas history and should be appreciated. Thank you for the tour of this secret place, I have much appreciated ✝️

As a Williamson native, I really love the videos you have been shooting. It's good to see places that I haven't been in many years. I spent a good bit of time in Fairview Cemetery as a kid and I remember the overgrown mausoleum was still being maintained at least through the late '80s, so there should be someone still around who knows the family it belongs to. There was never a name or any other kind of marking on the exterior that I remember, as it baffled me why someone would spend the money to construct a mausoleum and be anonymous. The construction style is typical of private mausoleums from the 1900s through the 1920s seen in this part of the country, though the steel vaults in the open is an unusual feature. The only other places I have seen burial containers in the open like this were in Europe. Even though the interior is unfinished, the construction quality indicates it was an expensive project, so it had to have been one of the early prominent families in the area. You might want to look through the door again when the lighting is right and see if there is a plaque on any of the vaults that you could zoom in on to get a name. A side note - the Smith and Lawson mausoleums were built by members of the Zando family. They were a family of stone masons who originally hailed from Italy and built many of the stone structures in the Williamson area for decades. Some examples of their work are the retaining wall and garage on Fourth Avenue Hill and the large stone structures seen when ascending Goodman Avenue, assuming those are still there. The house I grew up in has a Zando retaining wall in the back. The rectangular stones of varying sizes and thick, projected mortar beds are found in much of their work.

Wow ! Three wives in same Mausoleum?! Wonder if #2 & 3 knew they would be here with the 1st ? Yeah , I guess it doesn't matter. But I never liked the idea of being underground . I am guessing there isn't any family left for that overgrown one , or the family would clear it . Hmm .. I wonder with what looks like two names removed from the Smith one , and being stacked like that . There was a serious family issue and those families took their loved ones out , and just put some Smiths from theirs to here . I can't think of a reason to have names removed otherwise ?!

Makes me wonder if all these peoples’ families are gone or just why they don’t tend to the graves. Maybe someone related will see your video. Sometimes the younger ones don’t even know these older ones they’re related to. Someone dropped the ball somewhere. I went to Ohio and one brother and 2 sisters went to old graveyards and looked up old family members we never knew. It was a good time but made me think sooner or later we’re all probably gonna be forgotten. Creepy!

Look on ALL the steps leading to the mausoleum and also look to see if there is very low wall (6 to 8 inches high) around it. Years ago the name of the family was placed on a step, usually the first or last step. Also the concrete vaults in the Smith mausoleum will have the name of the person on the top of the vault.

It’s probably best that that mausoleum is hidden by that brush and trees. That probably helps it from being vandalized. Did it look like that when you were a kid or do you remember? Great explore!

So much time, effort and money to inter beloved dead “forever.” Yet when all the family is gone….or moved away…or indeed forgotten “forever”…nature will absorb the tears and restore itself of the minerals and liquid of lives lost… What folly we have to believe that we will be denoted long once we’ve ceased our breathing. What human silliness to assure ourselves that others will care for the spark of our warm hearts, our very loved ones, after we too have passed on ~

I know a cheap way to clean that crept up. Buy a couple gallons of Vinegar and 2 large salt and some dish soap. Mix 1 gallon vinegar to 1 cup salt And a tablespoon of dish soap in a pump sprayer.. this mixture will kill all those weeds grass & vines

I enjoy ur videos n stories. Tonight I watched this one n here's a thought. On the side of the mausoleum that is overgrown, there looks like two headstones n seems like fresh or newly placed flowers. Do u think u could trace the names on those headstones to whomever placed the flowers? They would b currently alive n u could see if they r children or grand children of the deceased? Once u trace those two deceased n possibly the family or whomever left the flowers, do u think they may have an idea who is buried in the overgrown vault right behind their graves? Maybe they have paperwork or files of the two deceased, maybe a plate at the courthouse, of their burial plots n it might show adjacent the overgrown mausoleum? What do u think? I'd sure like to help but I'm in Colorado n have 6 memorial groups on Facebook n have done a lot of genealogy. I'm a senior, 3/4 of a century old so u kinda know I'm not just a kid seeking attention. Hope to hear back.

Have you thought about getting 1 of those little hand chainsaws so you can cut a path & open up the area, without having to do a lot of work. Luv the work you 2 do. Thank you 4 all the adventures!

People may live much longer lives in the west than they used to however places like this will still be historic rather than the depository of people with friends and family who loved them.

Some cemetery headstones that I've seen have pictures of the entombed person - many of the pictures are well over 100 years old.

What would be really neat is if you can buy a very small drone with camera that could fit threw mausoleum gates and fly it inside to see if names are on those metal vaults.

I'm just curious as to why the city doesn't cut down all of the overgrowth on the nameless mosuleum. Or people in the community don't volunteer to do it. So sad! Enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing.

There's 100s of them and most cities can barely keep the people alive afloat, it just becomes not important sadly
