I agree.... If not for GV and Sue we would never know. It's fascinating to see the coffins in various stages of decomposition as well as the skeletons. Death is a dirty business ❤❤❤❤ much respect.
It certainly looks like it was laid out a bit eccentrically, and it looks challenging to walk around in, but it's still fascinating to see. If it is still open for new burials, I wonder how in the world they would get in there to do it. Still, the very horrible thing to see are those poor skeletons just lying around like they were just tossed aside. It just makes me feel mostly sad. Thank you for all your efforts to get around and show us this old cemetery.
Some of these families spent some serious money for these vaults and mausoleum to let them get so run down. Obviously they don't come to visit anymore. Shows that nothing is permanent.
I just love how you and Sue take the time on your channels to take a peek inside. I don’t feel they mind as no one has come to remember them in a long time. So many just walk around which is ok but not as interesting.
How crazy to see open coffins and skeletons. Never seen anything like it in America. Fascinating. And I love all the bird songs in your videos. Not too many in this one though. Very remote. Birds seem to love cemeteries.
There are you tubers in the USA that have channels that show very run down cemeteries with opened coffins and the contents if there is anything left. The grounds are usually very overgrown nobody caring for them, very, very sad. Sue and her partner have the very best vids , so interesting and I am so thankful for them taking us along. So peaceful and beautiful places. 💕💕🦋 from 🇨🇦
Great work guys. The isolation is what freaks me out. And then that poem: Amongst the earth and weathered bone... there is no alter, there is no throne.
Wonderful old graveyard. I can't get over the coffin shape of it from an aerial view. As always GV, ty so much for taking us along on your adventures! xx
Once again GV another sterling presentation , yes it looks like some people had money back then to erect these Mausoleums as it would be very expensive in those days to have a headstone let alone Mausoleum, where I live in the midlands a lot of old graves are only recognised by a large rock or very basic slab such was the poverty then
Thank you for your nice commentary. Those poor lonely graves! RIP all the souls. What a pity so many of the coffins are broken. Stay safe and keep well. Zora in Australia.
I just read some of your comments……I have to add that I don’t feel like most people concerning the skeletons & remains. The vaults will surely last longer but if the body is put inside a wooden box …..it will not stand the test of time. I believe that all things must pass including your earthly body. Your videos has helped me understand how we all die & how we all eventually end up part of the earth…. I’m not a religious person just someone who believes the earth will eventually win……not us…..♥️
That’s the most unusual cemetery I’ve ever seen. I wonder what made them cram all the graves into a coffin shape? The setting has a real Wuthering Heights vibe.
GV- what a unique grouping of “crypts”- set on a hill - surrounded by nothing but fields!! I wonder what the thinking was when they built these? It is sad to see the coffins disintegrated and the bones of the dead laying out inside each family crypt-but we must remember what it says in the Bible-“ashes to ashes-dust to dust”. We are enjoying your tours of these cemeteries- greetings from Virginia, USA!
Awesome find GV! It's so quiet and desolate, open to the torments of mother nature, but what a view. Glad you had your wellies on, lol! Thank you, Deb of Oz XXX.
This is one rough looking place. When a vault starts looking like a compost pit maybe it's time to remove the lead and fill it in. Not the safest looking place in the world to walk around in. To me some aspects of this place look rather nasty. It seems a very good example of how not to look after a historic site. Just my opinion but the place looks sad.
I agree. Its not up to GV. It’s up to the families. Many families might be gone. GV’s coverage of these places, I hope will inspire families and communities to bring them up to a decent standard.
@@thomasnewton4040 exactly, there was a couple of vaults that had some updates, one with a new door and lock, and the other with a new roof. However for a county or town to do all of that to the entire cemetery would literally cost millions, well beyond the budget.

Hey G.V and Sue, I have never seen a coffin shaped cemetery. A lot of slate and rock, some Mausoleums and crypts are gorgeous!!! I Love the Celtic crosses!!! This was a cool find! God Bless You Guy's!!!
It appears like VERY few people visit this graveyard!! It could do with a good spruce up!! The area looks VERY scenic and rural too!! Thanks for sharing this gem with us, GV!! XXXX 👍🤗💞👏❤
How interesting that you have a fear of death ( which I think is very common) and yet you are very brave going into cemeteries and graveyards in many countries. Kudos to you for your bravery and thank you to you and Sue for taking us along on your adventures! ❤ How unfortunate the condition of the bodies in their vaults...very sad 😔
I'm going to be cremated, however; if I were to build a crypt, it wood be at a dry spot on level ground. I would have the walls made of granite blocks on a thick compacted dirt surface covered in 12" thick concrete. I would have my coffin on a solid concrete platform at least 24 inches thick, and off the ground. It would also include floor level drainage out all four sides. The roof would be an arch design of solid granite bricks. If you have ever seen Roman era arches, when properly done last for thousands of years. Concrete roof can't last for long at all. They inevitably always fail eventually.
thanks GV Sue I wonder if we could see the quick time decay what surprises that would bring, I say that as some of the coffins seem so far from where they started ie was it natural or was it graverobbing or something ....
This is definitely the most unusual cemetery I’ve seen. Reminds me of those “giant white horses” on hillsides which are only visible from the air. Somehow this cemetery has a strange feeling to it
I do not fear death, what I fear is dying painfully. Once you're dead, it's over. In my lifetime of 57 years, I've watched many people die in front of me. As a child, my grandmother (who raised me) worked in a nursing home. I visited there often, and the patients were delighted by me being there. However, some would just expire while I was talking to them. I kinda got used to it at a young age. In my 30s, my first wife lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer, and I held her hand as she took her final breath. That one broke me. Less than a decade later, my grandmother also died in front of me. I was remarried by this time, so at least I wasn't left completely alone. I can't even count the number of people I've seen go. But I don't fear death, because of that. I only fear dying a painful death.
Just the idea of seeing the bones under gravestones in a cemetery gives me the creeps. I recently visited a cemetery in Brussels where some tombs had collapsed but no remains could be seen. I live in Germany and here such types of burial have been banned for so long that even the few crypts that date back to the time before the ban should no longer have any visible remains. (I believe crypt burial is only permitted for urns with ashes, but im no expert for that.) I don't want to decide whether this is a good bad thing because in the neighboring countries like Belgium there are really impressive tombs but I find it strange to be able to see the remains when there is no one left to look after them.

Never would have guessed that is a fear of yours. It happens to us all, so I don't understand that. What I fear is the pain that might be associated with it.😮
I LOVE to see these old tombs looked after by living Family. Seeing new roofs put on them, new grave markers and new locks on the doors. It means that the Family has not died out and they are looking after their kindred dead, as it should be. Keeping our forefather's grave sites clean, well maintained and protected is the responsibility of the Living Family Members. Every year, I would go to my Matriarchal Grand Mother, and Grand Father's graves to keep them, clean them, as well as My Patriarchal Grandparent's graves as well, and all other grave sites of Family including my Infant Brother, who died at birth, wo we had thought lost, but was thankfully discovered, and was originally just a numbered Grave, but we had a proper Granite Grave Stone made, and we were able place it on his Grave after 57 years of thinking the records were lost of his Grave location after a fire ripped through the on-site grave keeper's building. It wasn't until we managed to finally find someone who was deep inside the city's records office that we discovered a copy of those lost records! So, our Family is active in making sure the graves of our Kindred Dead are taken care of, even after the passing of our mother on a few years ago, we still take trips out to the family's graves, remotely located nearly 6 hours away, some 550 kms from our current family location. And this still being a relatively small drive compared to the vast expanse of Canada's land mass. there are even further family graves locates an additional 500kms away in practically the center of Canada. From Calgary, my Home city, to Wymark, Saskatchewan where my Maternal Grandparents are buried, is a greater distance that Ireland at its widest point. In Alberta, my home Province between Calgary, my home city, and Edmonton, where I currently reside, the distance is so large that we can fit the entire country of Netherlands with plenty of space left over. Canada is wider across than the Continental USA, and it would take 9 days, if a person were to land in Newfoundland, and drive across the country, at highways speeds 110 km/hour without stopping, except for fuel and NOT for sleep meaning you would need to have multiple people in the vehicle and drive in Shifts, to make it across Canada in 9 days. A pretty sad way to Visit Canada. The reason why I say this is because most Europeans had little idea just how big Canada and the USA really are, a friend of mine has family in Amsterdam, and they wanted to fly to Toronto, for Lunch and then drive to Edmonton Alberta, and be there for Evening that same day, until we told them that it was physically impossible, and they were going to try and call us as a bluff, until they looked it up on the internet themselves, and decided to fly to Edmonton, which was still an hour away from their Farm, at highway speeds 110 km/hour. Their minds were blown clear out of their heads when they arrived over Canada, landed in Toronto and transferred to another plane and flew for another 8 hours over Canadian land before Reaching Alberta, which is roughly 1100 km from the west coast. Let me share with you this official math equivalency between Ireland and Canada. Ireland covers approximately 84,421 km sq.; Canada has 9,984,670 km sq. which means Canada is 118.272 x larger than Ireland. And only a miniscule amount of Canada is actually lived in and populated by Canadians, because of the short summer seasons and how cold Canada gets in the Wintertime. Even in today's level of technology, The Alaska Highway that runs from Montana up through Alberta, Northern British Columbia, Southwestern Yukon Territory, then into Alaska, has parts that are STILL gravel road, because of how harsh winters here are on paved roads. even in Canada, most roads require at least a 10 to 12 feet of engineered underpinning to keep the road from suffering from massive Frost heaves and destruction by water freezing under the pavement. and this is inside of the cities along the southern portion of Canada, Northern roads are the most difficult to maintain from one year to the next, let alone over long term. Most of Canada is Boreal Forest and untouched by civilization, that is why Canada is such a crucial contributor to Declining Carbon numbers because of just how much of Canada is untouched by Humanity, not even Russia has as much untouched land as Canada does. Native communities rely upon air transportation year-round, and river boat transportation in the summer months just to get the basics of life carried to them from the northern most cities, of Which Edmonton is the Largest. SO yeah, Canada is BIG, and although Russia is bigger, they have less Boreal Forest than Canada, because of the steppes and vast grasslands of Eastern Siberia. I digress though. I just wanted you to know just how vast a territory Canada truly is, and how important it is to our Family that we travel out to Family Gravesites that are 1100km drives both ways to take care of our Kindred dead's grave sites. I wish everyone felt as much about their family's graves, to ensure that they never degrade to the level we constantly see in your videos, where it is easy to look inside and see the sorry state of the tombs and the coffins inside. and I would go into those tombs and properly clean them up and create proper ossuaries for the bones of the departed so they can continue to lay indignity until the day of resurrection comes for all of us. I know that many families have either died off, or otherwise live so far away that they do not even have any clue these graves belong to their families, which absolves them of any blame, but for those that care not for the graves of their kindred, but let them crumble to dust because of lack of maintenance , Responsibility lies with them to do something about it. at least SOME effort could be put towards their upkeep if not financial. Just so that those who have passed along so long ago can continue to rest knowing Family is doing their level best to keep their graves from being desecrated by opportunists who think it a cool thing to own someone's skull. Without thinking that grave robbing is a mortal sin! Or even worse grave and deadly sin committed by those who invade the sanctity of a grave to rob it for evil purposes such as ceremonies to the father of lies and his servants. Such sins place their souls in a position that they could suffer from the second death, the worst thing to befall any soul to ever have lived a mortal life here on Earth. May God have Mercy upon their souls.
Terrible that these people wound up in conditions such as this especially when you consider the expense of the vaults. You know their loved ones had no idea that they would end up in these conditions. Simply AWFUL!!
@GraveVisitations I had some doubts about cremation for myself and wife but not any longer! A friend to you GV and SUE. Wishing you both a Happy New Year 2025!
how beautiful that you both deal so respectfully at a cemetery where much sorrow occurs or has occurred in the past. I have been following you for a long time and I give you a great compliment.
Often they used the materials native to an area for construction. There may have been a slate quarry around there? I am not surprised seeing deteriorated wooden coffins in crypts exposed to the air. With all the greenery around there it must rain alot. A wooden coffin doesn't stand a chance. Here in the U.S., metal burial caskets are popular and most cemeteries require vaults for ground burials. A properly embalmed body will last for decades and maybe decades more. I know of exhumations after 20-30 years are the bodies looked like they were buried yesterday.
This old cemeteries are so interesting and peaceful. I love how people would erect these mausoleums for final resting places. I wonder why the holes in the doors… (in case someone buried in error?) the first one you looked in threw me with that hissing sound and looked like a face looking at you. Of course it was the cross on top but still. Love seeing the skeletons, but always respectful of their space.
Noticing architecture....I think there was something much older built there.... and the destruction site is where they used the stones to make these vaults and grave markers....some structure was there...maybe a small fortress or castle...the wall that is there looks like it was made long before the rest. I don't know .... just thinkin'... it's got a great view.
Wow. Those tightly packed mausoleums in the middle of nowhere remind me of the new neighborhoods here in Tx. 500 tightly packed houses in the middle of a large former farm field. 6 feet of backyard max per house despite all the surrounding Land.
The first door You looked thru with round holes scared the daylights out of me because at first looked like a face, lol You sure have a beautiful country. Hopefully, someday, I can visit
Rare cemetery it looks like a field and everything was flung out off an aeroplane ,and wherever it landed so be it.I wouldn't fancy walking around there in the middle of the night. It did give me weird vibes. But nevertheless very interesting GV .😊 xx
Great adventure! Such worn down tombs/ family vaults. It must have been very difficult to make the graves with being on a slope of that hill. Wonder if they could have done it with horse and carts. Lugging those stones would have been difficult to say the least. Very interesting that the shape of this cemetery is that of a coffin, which in reality can only be seen from the air. Alright GV and Sue this was a cool video, God bless you both.
Fascinating as always! Its our nature to fear the unknown, and death is the great unknown. While we have life we live it, to see, feel and experience the world we live in with the people we love. We are, we were, we were meant to be. Love from Connecticut❤
The difference between the rich and poor is thin, dead is dead, and we all turn back to dust, some just sooner than others. In the end we all end up the same.
Couldn’t resist commenting again. The majority of the burials were in the 1800s…and planes were only invented in the early 1900s. So I wonder how they arranged the cemetery to be seen from the air
How sad that these people lie in such an undignified state. Perhaps mausoleums are more of a status symbol rather than a practical method of disposing of the dead. Clearly, they do not afford any special protection to coffins or corpses, despite the cost of building them. What a great video and what an absolutely spectacular location.
@@louisnealon6811 thank you for watching, yes I agree with you I don't think these people understood that these mausoleums would crumble and they would end up exposed to the world
That’s definitely a first….. a coffin shaped graveyard G.V yav gotta love the Irish for their sense of humour, even in death. Great video. That’s definitely a quintessential spooky graveyard on a hill.
The coffins were put in crypts the wood would rot if affordable the deceased was put in lead liner 😊inside the coffin unfortunately people break into these looking for burial jewellery and take the lead
There is no rhyme or reason for the layout of the graveyard. Very grim place, its a pity when they are left to the elements. They are truly the forgotten 😟
That's another really interesting graveyard. Thanks guys. It seems so strange that those first vaults you looked at have their entrances right out into the field, rather than within the graveyard area though.
That’s very sad how quickly one’s remains shrink down to just the bony skeleton that held it up……..I do wish the man handling the bones would wear gloves and/or a mask though!!! , as there is the possibility the person died from disease, or spores of a disease from close by may be lying there. You work hard and do a good job, with respect. But please look after your own health whilst doing this!? You don’t want to breath in disease spores or handle bones, materials from the shroud that may be harbouring them. Peace be with you, and the bereaved family of this person. 🙏🌹💫💕🌻🌻😊
@GraveVisitations very strange the layout, I would hope that it was not some kind of black magic/beetle juice idea. May those who are interned there rest in peace 🙏
I love seeing all those Irish names and you pronouncing them, lets hope the old country stays that way, my mother was Irish, her maiden name was Broaders she came from Wexford, eleven in the family, far as i know all the siblings have past on incuding my late ma.
First ever time I'm seing this type of cemetery. For me as an Asian, it weird but thank you for sharing. Rest in Peace to all souls that have been rested there. May God reward them Paradise❤ameen🌹
Incredible. If it was not for utube, things like this would never be seen. Just incredible.

@@maryleeswope3353 that was beautiful. So beautiful 🙏

Always interesting to see inside
They deceased do not care. They are dead and long gone. No suffering for them as they have left their body.
They certainly don’t mind. They aren’t around anymore anyway. Just dry bones.
Seeing these vaults confirms my decision to be cremated.
RIP all who died and Remembered Never Forgotten

So, our Family is active in making sure the graves of our Kindred Dead are taken care of, even after the passing of our mother on a few years ago, we still take trips out to the family's graves, remotely located nearly 6 hours away, some 550 kms from our current family location. And this still being a relatively small drive compared to the vast expanse of Canada's land mass. there are even further family graves locates an additional 500kms away in practically the center of Canada. From Calgary, my Home city, to Wymark, Saskatchewan where my Maternal Grandparents are buried, is a greater distance that Ireland at its widest point. In Alberta, my home Province between Calgary, my home city, and Edmonton, where I currently reside, the distance is so large that we can fit the entire country of Netherlands with plenty of space left over. Canada is wider across than the Continental USA, and it would take 9 days, if a person were to land in Newfoundland, and drive across the country, at highways speeds 110 km/hour without stopping, except for fuel and NOT for sleep meaning you would need to have multiple people in the vehicle and drive in Shifts, to make it across Canada in 9 days. A pretty sad way to Visit Canada. The reason why I say this is because most Europeans had little idea just how big Canada and the USA really are, a friend of mine has family in Amsterdam, and they wanted to fly to Toronto, for Lunch and then drive to Edmonton Alberta, and be there for Evening that same day, until we told them that it was physically impossible, and they were going to try and call us as a bluff, until they looked it up on the internet themselves, and decided to fly to Edmonton, which was still an hour away from their Farm, at highway speeds 110 km/hour. Their minds were blown clear out of their heads when they arrived over Canada, landed in Toronto and transferred to another plane and flew for another 8 hours over Canadian land before Reaching Alberta, which is roughly 1100 km from the west coast. Let me share with you this official math equivalency between Ireland and Canada. Ireland covers approximately 84,421 km sq.; Canada has 9,984,670 km sq. which means Canada is 118.272 x larger than Ireland. And only a miniscule amount of Canada is actually lived in and populated by Canadians, because of the short summer seasons and how cold Canada gets in the Wintertime. Even in today's level of technology, The Alaska Highway that runs from Montana up through Alberta, Northern British Columbia, Southwestern Yukon Territory, then into Alaska, has parts that are STILL gravel road, because of how harsh winters here are on paved roads. even in Canada, most roads require at least a 10 to 12 feet of engineered underpinning to keep the road from suffering from massive Frost heaves and destruction by water freezing under the pavement. and this is inside of the cities along the southern portion of Canada, Northern roads are the most difficult to maintain from one year to the next, let alone over long term. Most of Canada is Boreal Forest and untouched by civilization, that is why Canada is such a crucial contributor to Declining Carbon numbers because of just how much of Canada is untouched by Humanity, not even Russia has as much untouched land as Canada does. Native communities rely upon air transportation year-round, and river boat transportation in the summer months just to get the basics of life carried to them from the northern most cities, of Which Edmonton is the Largest. SO yeah, Canada is BIG, and although Russia is bigger, they have less Boreal Forest than Canada, because of the steppes and vast grasslands of Eastern Siberia. I digress though. I just wanted you to know just how vast a territory Canada truly is, and how important it is to our Family that we travel out to Family Gravesites that are 1100km drives both ways to take care of our Kindred dead's grave sites. I wish everyone felt as much about their family's graves, to ensure that they never degrade to the level we constantly see in your videos, where it is easy to look inside and see the sorry state of the tombs and the coffins inside. and I would go into those tombs and properly clean them up and create proper ossuaries for the bones of the departed so they can continue to lay indignity until the day of resurrection comes for all of us. I know that many families have either died off, or otherwise live so far away that they do not even have any clue these graves belong to their families, which absolves them of any blame, but for those that care not for the graves of their kindred, but let them crumble to dust because of lack of maintenance , Responsibility lies with them to do something about it. at least SOME effort could be put towards their upkeep if not financial. Just so that those who have passed along so long ago can continue to rest knowing Family is doing their level best to keep their graves from being desecrated by opportunists who think it a cool thing to own someone's skull. Without thinking that grave robbing is a mortal sin! Or even worse grave and deadly sin committed by those who invade the sanctity of a grave to rob it for evil purposes such as ceremonies to the father of lies and his servants. Such sins place their souls in a position that they could suffer from the second death, the worst thing to befall any soul to ever have lived a mortal life here on Earth. May God have Mercy upon their souls.
Thanks
Thank you Angie appreciate the support
Hii Gv, love your videos and Sue's as well. Thnks from Pacific NW USA.
Hello there!
I enjoyed this GV and Sue the old stone work is amazing, thank you .👏👏👏👏
Simply incredible! How do you manage to find those lost places in the middle of nowhere?
Lots of research and travels
Terrible that these people wound up in conditions such as this especially when you consider the expense of the vaults. You know their loved ones had no idea that they would end up in these conditions. Simply AWFUL!!
@@buzsalmon they go for burials or cremation nowadays it seems
@GraveVisitations that would be better don't you think?
Family lines die off , money goes, distance grew , people divorce and sons are lost in war.
@GraveVisitations I had some doubts about cremation for myself and wife but not any longer!
A friend to you GV and SUE. Wishing you both a Happy New Year 2025!
how beautiful that you both deal so respectfully at a cemetery where much sorrow occurs or has occurred in the past. I have been following you for a long time and I give you a great compliment.
Said it before County Clare NEVER disappoints..This was a brilliant find GV and I love the older cemetery's..I give this a 10 out of 10..Loved it 😘
Often they used the materials native to an area for construction. There may have been a slate quarry around there?
I am not surprised seeing deteriorated wooden coffins in crypts exposed to the air. With all the greenery around there it must rain alot. A wooden coffin doesn't stand a chance.
Here in the U.S., metal burial caskets are popular and most cemeteries require vaults for ground burials. A properly embalmed body will last for decades and maybe decades more. I know of exhumations after 20-30 years are the bodies looked like they were buried yesterday.
These bodies are here over 100 years
What a fascinating place. Thanks for sharing this.
This old cemeteries are so interesting and peaceful. I love how people would erect these mausoleums for final resting places. I wonder why the holes in the doors… (in case someone buried in error?) the first one you looked in threw me with that hissing sound and looked like a face looking at you. Of course it was the cross on top but still. Love seeing the skeletons, but always respectful of their space.
Another top number GV May all that be here,R.I.P Take care,safe travels to you and Sue,🙏🙏👋👋👍🇦🇺
Wow! What an unusual place this is. Thank you so much!
Fantastic new video, thank you for all that you do!
Glad you like them!
Noticing architecture....I think there was something much older built there.... and the destruction site is where they used the stones to make these vaults and grave markers....some structure was there...maybe a small fortress or castle...the wall that is there looks like it was made long before the rest. I don't know .... just thinkin'... it's got a great view.
So sad to see the graveyard in such bad condition.
Wow ! Interessante forma del cimitero, bellissimi mausolei !
Grazie GV ❤❤❤
Wow. Those tightly packed mausoleums in the middle of nowhere remind me of the new neighborhoods here in Tx. 500 tightly packed houses in the middle of a large former farm field. 6 feet of backyard max per house despite all the surrounding Land.
It was difficult to get around here for sure
With the age, damp, and decay it is surprising anything is left of those old wood coffins. We will all return to the earth eventually.
Just love your voice! Interesting place too. I love graveyards, thanks for sharing! 💋
Yes GV has a wonderful voice! Should narrated audio books.
Thank you so much GV
Yeah I don't like all the stone it makes it feel very cold 🥶 but it's still very cool shape and a snapshot in Irish history. Fantastic video GV
The first door You looked thru with round holes scared the daylights out of me because at first looked like a face, lol
You sure have a beautiful country. Hopefully, someday, I can visit
Rare cemetery it looks like a field and everything was flung out off an aeroplane ,and wherever it landed so be it.I wouldn't fancy walking around there in the middle of the night. It did give me weird vibes. But nevertheless very interesting GV .😊 xx
Awesome channel love your content!
Great adventure! Such worn down tombs/ family vaults. It must have been very difficult to make the graves with being on a slope of that hill. Wonder if they could have done it with horse and carts. Lugging those stones would have been difficult to say the least. Very interesting that the shape of this cemetery is that of a coffin, which in reality can only be seen from the air. Alright GV and Sue this was a cool video, God bless you both.
Fascinating as always! Its our nature to fear the unknown, and death is the great unknown. While we have life we live it, to see, feel and experience the world we live in with the people we love. We are, we were, we were meant to be.
Love from Connecticut❤
The difference between the rich and poor is thin, dead is dead, and we all turn back to dust, some just sooner than others. In the end we all end up the same.
Memento Mori
Couldn’t resist commenting again. The majority of the burials were in the 1800s…and planes were only invented in the early 1900s. So I wonder how they arranged the cemetery to be seen from the air
The photo was taken more recently
@ correct. But the coffin shape was constructed more than a century ago. Quite mind-boggling
Great tour. Love to you and Sue from Tennessee! ❤️😊
Beautiful landscape, and really interesting video
Thanks GV . And hello to Sue. Another walk through time. Love your videos.
How sad that these people lie in such an undignified state. Perhaps mausoleums are more of a status symbol rather than a practical method of disposing of the dead. Clearly, they do not afford any special protection to coffins or corpses, despite the cost of building them. What a great video and what an absolutely spectacular location.
@@louisnealon6811 thank you for watching, yes I agree with you I don't think these people understood that these mausoleums would crumble and they would end up exposed to the world
@@GraveVisitations I think you're right, GV. Nobody would want their loved ones' remains to end up in such a state.
Hi again GV hope you're well and in good form today how you find these old cemeteries it's mined boggling it's so interesting
Thanks GV! I found the shape of the cemetery very interesting. Very cool :)
This cemetary is very different. Ty GV for sharing.
That’s definitely a first….. a coffin shaped graveyard G.V yav gotta love the Irish for their sense of humour, even in death. Great video. That’s definitely a quintessential spooky graveyard on a hill.
Something extra spooky about this cemetery, but still beautiful. Thanks for another great video, you're the best! 💚🕊️💖😊
Amazing place. Sort of in the middle of nowhere. I enjoyed it very much so thank you GV!
Every thing is quite odd.
The coffins were put in crypts the wood would rot if affordable the deceased was put in lead liner 😊inside the coffin unfortunately people break into these looking for burial jewellery and take the lead
Thanks!
Thank you for your super thanks ❤
Really weirdly wonderful,just pleased to be able to come along with you both💚💚
Very lonely isolated feel to this cemetery, all the crypts clusterd together in the middle of the country side . Thanks for the look around gv 😊
There is no rhyme or reason for the layout of the graveyard. Very grim place, its a pity when they are left to the elements. They are truly the forgotten 😟
Very interesting, thank you for all your hard work. 😊🏴
That's another really interesting graveyard. Thanks guys. It seems so strange that those first vaults you looked at have their entrances right out into the field, rather than within the graveyard area though.
That’s very sad how quickly one’s remains shrink down to just the bony skeleton that held it up……..I do wish the man handling the bones would wear gloves and/or a mask though!!! , as there is the possibility the person died from disease, or spores of a disease from close by may be lying there. You work hard and do a good job, with respect. But please look after your own health whilst doing this!? You don’t want to breath in disease spores or handle bones, materials from the shroud that may be harbouring them.
Peace be with you, and the bereaved family of this person. 🙏🌹💫💕🌻🌻😊
This is a stunning location. Very beautiful landscape
Very strange ! I wouldn’t go there alone! Just something about this place. Thanks GV
Maybe you should get one of those endoscope cameras and put that through the holes in vaults etc
If I got a euro for every person that mentioned this I would be rich
@@GraveVisitations 🤣better get a gofund me then 🤣
@@DrummerSpanner have one 😁
I wonder what possessed the ppl of the village to lay out the plots in the shape of a coffin⚰️ 🤔. Very curious indeed 🧐. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Could almost be a scene from beetle juice
@GraveVisitations very strange the layout, I would hope that it was not some kind of black magic/beetle juice idea. May those who are interned there rest in peace 🙏
Thank you.
The land looks so lush and the tombs hold so much history. Truly beautiful. Great video
It really is!
I love seeing all those Irish names and you pronouncing them, lets hope the old country stays that way, my mother was Irish, her maiden name was Broaders she came from Wexford, eleven in the family, far as i know all the siblings have past on incuding my late ma.
My ancestors come from Clare, would love to visit the cemeteries and historical churches.
I just wanna go like my great grandma on my mom's side in the middle of the night with a smile on her face.
First ever time I'm seing this type of cemetery. For me as an Asian, it weird but thank you for sharing. Rest in Peace to all souls that have been rested there. May God reward them Paradise❤ameen🌹
