Thank you for doing an update. This absolutely breaks my heart. Families have paid probably alot of money to honor their loved ones wishes in that cemetery. Now due to negligence of owners they are faced with paying for services yet again. My thoughts are that the county should force the negligent owner to cover those fees for the families.
Yes, even though the Yanaitis Family who has a beautiful funeral home in Plains, PA has stepped in to help (thank God they have done so...I give them all the love in the world for doing this...stepping up to help) there would be ANOTHER FUNERAL BASICALLY THAT HAS to be held for the removal of the body, transportation to a new location (mausoleum) & purchase of it; new engraving for a name, & if the casket is cremated, (that is probably the less expensive way to go for a family it all still costs $$$$) When people purchased these mausoleums way back when, you expected that they are going to be well taken care of, perpetual care they call it.... Not like this, this is shameful, & though I only live a few miles away, I cannot bring myself to go there. My beloved Dad is in a gorgeous new mausoleum that is in Hanover Twp. PA at St. Mary's Cemetery, & we went through quite a bit because my Dad died BEFORE THE NEW MAUSOLEUM WAS BUILT. I don't want to go into all the details, but my Dad & 45 other bodies were placed in "temporary" mausoleums that we couldn't engrave (we purchased a small metal engraved plaque with my Dad's name on it, and date of birth & date of passing) & stuck it on the outside of his "temporary home"...they say (paranormal experts) that when bodies are NOT properly taken care of, that the spirit of the dead remain "unsettled". After 6 years, & 2 movings, my Dad is in his final resting spot inside the beautiful St. Mary Mother of God Mausoleum at St. Mary's cemetery. My Mom & I will also be placed in this mausoleum when our time comes. Cemeteries, burials, funeral businesses, cremation, caskets, headstones, etc. are all BIG BUSINESS!! These poor people PAID for a good final resting home, & they got mold, dampness, & desecration. How sad, how disrespectful!! MY GOD!!

@@bethshadid2087 probably because that would show they were taking part responsibility. So they probably figured if they ignore the situation they dont have to be held responsible.
The County should take care of this, but no...They'll wait till it becomes a biohazard and push it off on the State. The Sate will push it off on the Feds. 😡
It's horrible the people that bought the property wouldn't fix it up. But you should have worn a mask when you went inside you need to protect yourself
Those concrete things in the woods are called “vaults” and the bottom part is put into the grave first, then the casket is lowered into it, and then the concrete top is put on top with some sort of sealing caulk, or sometimes a black, tarry pitch. It is usually required for most cemeteries because it keeps the ground from sinking as the coffin breaks down over the years. Sunken in graves pose a hazard for riding mowers and for those of us who do not enjoy broken or twisted ankles! In some parts of the south, graves are dug just deep enough for the bottom half of the vaults, and then the casket is placed inside and the lid of the vault is sealed to the top of the bottom half of the vault, thus making the top of the vault the top of the grave. A name plate is usually affixed to the top, or a separate stone is placed at the head of the vault. Some vaults are only buried a little ways down or not at all. It’s up to the family and the rules of the cemetery, city, or county.
UA-cam is also jacking with the "likes" on many videos. Also the viewer numbers. I'm subscribed to some other channels that will show 50 likes but only 20 views. I guess they think were too stupid to notice.
What a horror for family members! Even in death, there is no exemption from the ravages of a financial mess. My thoughts and prayers for all affected by this mess.
Mike S. WHAT WE REALIZE AS HUMANS WE ALL ARE GOING TO VACATE THESE EARTHLY BODIES.AND THIS EARTH.I DONT UNDERSTAND PUTTING DEAD BODIES INSISIDE BUILDING.WE ARE DUST THE GROUND IS DUST WHY ARE WE INTERRING PEOPLE ON TOP OF THE EARTH.? THESE PEOPLE HAVE VACATED THEDE EARTHLY
Yes, a financial mess. A family paid once for their loved one to be entombed respectfully, and now they will have to pay for a second entombment for the same person. That’s just not right that someone else’s irresponsibility is making a family pay twice for something that should be needed only once.
@@loisking5116 The day will come when God will ultimately give Death his pink slip and we will all get a second chance of Life in what will soon become a new Earth where Humans will truly live forever and even co exist better with animals and vice versa.
Corrupt Government, Municipalities, and undertakers," all these individuals are part of the problem". When the loved ones paid once for burial for their deceased relatives, they all should be reburied at no cost to these people. Anything less is unjust to those people, and more continuing corruption !!! Kevin Phoenix
That funeral director is a hero. If you meet up with him ever, your viewers would probably be down to crowd fund him a little help. You are doing a great service here. Thanks for updating us!
I feel so sorry for the family's that had their loved ones put in there and now it's like this. Thanks for showing this no one sees what goes on when a place like this falls in disrepair. Keep up the good work.
In Canada the government regulates the cemeteries and this would never happen. What a shame that families have to live with the fact that no one is held accountable for the repairs and have no choice but to leave their loved ones there if they can’t afford to move them.They should never be privately owned. Thanks great video again!🇨🇦
Stacey Hildenbrand You said it. Once the place is full and the profits run dry, the owners don't care about these things anymore. At least if it's public property it's likely to be kept up. The whole ides is a turkey though. Return the dead to the soil. They aren't coming back and no structure that houses them will stand forever. A grotesque disgrace to their bodies is inevitable.
In the news today (Nov. 21, 2019) a mausoleum in the Buffalo, N.Y. area, had just about the same situation, and if the owners were unable to continue maintenance and business...then the county would assume control & ownership.
This isnt the time to be espousing socilist like views. This is just one of a few cemeteries that are in disrepair but dont let it represent the majority of privately owned ones that are kept in pristine condition and in some cases better than most government ran ones. And personally I don't know about you but I don't want my remains or those of my families to left in the care of any form of government seeing how I have zero trust in any form of it.
Another awesome video! Whoever designed the building in the first place was incompetent. If you live in an area where it snows you know flat roofs are just asking for trouble. Things everyone should learn from this video: 1) Never put a loved one in a mausoleum. 2) Avoid private cemeteries, you never know when they could go broke. At least ones associated with churches or townships have a better chance of being taken care of. 3) cremation or some biodegradable alternative is the way to go. No chance of floating away in a flood, your internal goo flowing out or your body being desecrated in some way.
You are so right!!!! I am in Portland, Oregon and we are having ongoing issues with a mausoleum here, but it's regarding the place not being kept up, i.e., dust on everything and burnt out lights, but that's how it starts, right??
Seeing mausoleums and cemeteries being left like that with nobody caring for them is sad indeed... I'd much rather my family just bury me without a casket so I can return to the earth like nature intended. Nothing wrong with having a marker to remember someone by in a nice place, but to just allow them to be forgotten seems like a terrible waste of what could have been a lovely place to honour folks. Loved the vid, despite the sorry state of the situation at the property. Cheers and thanks for sharing! :)
Many people have opted to donate their bodies to Dr William Bass' "Body Farm". It's a part of the University of Tennessee's Anthropological Research department. People donate their bodies (free) & the bodies are laid out in various scenarios that typically law enforcement finds decedents in; under trees vs open sky, in cars, under tarps, under water, in various other things...or not. They've tried to think up all the different ways that ppl have died, or worse. They study the changes germaine to the various different situations & are valuable to the legal system & offer ABSOLUTE expert witness testimony in a "yes your Honor it does go like THAT" or "no, you people are nuts, it doesn't".
I didn't get a notification for this. I happened to click on your page to check for new stuff. UA-cam is starting to tick me off. I LOVE your videos & I'm not going anywhere. I'll check a few times a day if I have to.
That's nothing I find subscriptions I haven't subscribed to and I find subscriptions deleted and not by me. People don't have the slightest clue how they're being manipulated. You think somebody's reading your comments maybe maybe not.
Wow! That was awesome, JP!! Now I know I really want to be cremated! It seems so peaceful there. Hearing the birds in the background gives a nice touch as well! Thank you for sharing! 👍😄
Me also. I'll have my remains cremated and thrown into the sea. I'm also looking into a "natural" burial which is better for the earth. I just don't know yet.
So sad see this! Yes those are the burial vaults that go in the ground and the casket is placed inside. I pray that all the remains there are eventually relocated. Thanks for sharing.
This is so sad. I pray the ones are still there are taken care of really soon. Thank you to the funeral director who is trying to help the families. So sad. Thank for sharing this with us.
I love your videos, mainly because you show such respect for the places and most of all the privacy of people pictured in photos and letters. You seem to be a a very caring person and as a grandmother would be proud to have you as a grandson. Best wishes from NC
So sad that the cemetery has deteriorated to this point. Thanks for all the time and research that you put into the 1st and 2nd videos. I enjoyed watching. Keep 'em coming!!!
Great video as always JP. That was super sad . I feel really bad for these families . Knowing their loved one is still inside a building that’s crumbling has got to be absolutely gutt wrenching
Thanks for the update, though so sad. As others have noted, I’m sure their are cases where there are no loved ones left, and cases where the family cannot afford to pay the burial expenses twice - even at a reduced rate (though I sincerely applaud that funeral director for offering that). Canada seems to have it right (based on your Canadian viewer’s comment). We have many things wrong in this country, and this strikes me as VERY wrong. I did not realize that in burying our dead we were essentially selling them to people who may lose interest in caring for them.
Your town should pay for supplies and everyone should pitch in its the right thing to do .what’s wrong with your town geeze … I’d sue … bc. Their is no way I paid for burial and got so mis handled and vandalized like this is a crime in so many different ways by mostly on the officials bc their is no one living to.harass. For real I bet your officals waste more in a month then what this could of been to fix
Feel very sad for the families. The concrete boxes you saw are vaults or liners. They are put into the ground, and the casket is placed inside of it. It is supposed to protect the casket. Thank you for sharing this story with us. I did watch the original video earlier today, so the update was appreciated.
Hi JP, those are the vault's that the casket goes into in the ground. That's really sad, A lot of people are not going to be able to move their loved ones, because there's not going to be anything left to move.how awful is that.🙄
I was hoping that the roof had been repaired etc. like they talked about in the first video. ...this is too sad for words. Never thought things like this happened...It is good that Chris, the funeral director , is trying to help the situation as best he can ...Thank you for exposing this in such a sensitive way , Jay ....My heart goes out to the families.
Great idea. Can you maybe speak with someone involved with the City or County? What about someone in State gov't. ? There is an election coming up next November.......
@@goodfoottoo great idea original poster had. Caring and loving people who still have a heart would obviously be willing to help, but the b.s red tape from politicians and the government will NEVER EVER change. You know how they do?...even if they'd be lucky enough to get a "promise" to help the goof people that want to help...they will never keep their promises. Its absolutley sad, depressing, and enough to get your blood boiling! Each time I hear of these stories (too often) only shows me cremation is the only way. I truly hope those souls are R.I.P bc surely whats left of their vessels are not. Heartbreaking!!!
Hi, JP Wow! Thank you, JP. This is just terrible. I don't understand why the place was sold with the bodies still inside. You would think that the former owners would've extracted the bodies and moved them prior to selling. I also don't think it's fair that the loved one's have to pay to have their loved ones extracted when they had already paid the expense of having them buried upon their deaths. Seems to me that the responsibility of extraction should go to whomever purchased the building and let it go like this or the former owners before them. This was certainly not something you see everyday. Thank you so much for this explore, and for all the background information on it, JP. My heart goes out to the poor families that have to deal with this situation now.
I can't picture in my head going to that place and not able to see the name of my love one in the wall as everything in there is destroyed and abandon. What a disgrace. Conditions are depressing. Thank you for making this video with respect and consideration. Rip 🙏 for the souls laying there.
This video just appeared in my suggested video. I love how you have a thorough overview before you went in and set a very respectful tone for the video and remains of peoples loved ones. I like this style over people going into abandoned places and saying yooooooo a million times. Good job, I’ll be spending my Friday night watching your videos.
What I like about your adventures...you learn about the history of the building or what you are exploring. It is a shame that the owners neglected the upkeep of the whole area. Who expects where you buried a loved one that the owners would not take care of the resting place and let the building become condemned.
Pretty terrible that the city would allow a cemetery to be orphaned or abandoned. Some of those remains may have no one left or maybe those related have no clue about the condition of the property. Glad the funeral director that's helping stepped up.
Hello from Australia. Love your video. I have a strange fascination for cemeteries. Keep up the great work!! This is so sad to think that there are loved ones that still remain inside.
My family is in the monument business and this is heartbreaking. Thank you Jay for bringing this to the public’s attention. Thank goodness for the funeral director who is going to take on this task. It looked like all the records in the office were ruined also. The cement looking caskets are vaults that go underground where the caskets lays inside.
Burial is expensive the first time but to relocate again is so terrible especially for the family. They should not have to bare the cost a second time. It is sad and my heart goes out to the families.
Great video. Sad to see the owners refuse to pay the proper respect to the location and left it to rot. It is really sad to see this place if eternal rest decaying.
Great entro 👍 This is so sad. Breaks my heart seeing this. No one had the decency to respect and care for these loved ones. At least put a tarp or something on the roof so it would'nt leak. Sad These were people and their finale resting place. Great video. Thank you for the back story on what happend... 😊👍👍
That was so sad JP! I just can not imagine! You would think somebody, somewhere would be held accountable for maintaining the grounds and Buildings. Sad sad sad! Was that a real Stained Glass window? Safe travels and God Bless!!
I cannot believe this is allowed to even occur. I wouldn’t want this karma on me! Such a sad situation for the family members and the spirits of those still left there. ✨🙏🏼✨
Thank you for the update. So sad this is happening. I hope with your video this resting place gains exposure and something is done to take care of this sad situation.
Thank you for bringing this too the public notice! I can’t believe the government hasn’t shown more respect too this devastating situation!!!! A lot of the deceased probably don’t have family still alive.
My heart goes out to the families, such a waste. Thanks for the video and I did not get a notification of your new video, but I always check every day. Aloha
because Luzerne county Pa is very corrupt. And so are the courts. If there is money to put in the counties pocket(politicians), they'd sell their own family members
It looks like there are many unfilled plots, someone probably bought it thinking that they could fix up the place and start selling plots again. They bailed when they realized how much it would cost.
Thank you so much for the update! When I saw the first video, I just thought it was so sad to see what was happening to this mausoleum. It is always good to hear updates. Take care, be safe, and I can't wait to see you in the next one!!! 🙋🏽♀️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💙💙💙
There are always two sides to every story, however I cannot imagine the current owners didn't know what they are buying. The disrespect for dead is unbelievable and I'm saddened for the families who have their loved ones interred there.
JP, This is by far one of your most informative videos to date. As so many of yours are. I can relate to this one because I never realized how bad this industry has become ! It is especially relative to me because having recently finding out that my own family plots in N.J. in a perpetual care cemetery, was sold to another organization. I've a four hour trip to go and investigate what they are up to? The last time I was there several years ago, whenI inquired about some other family members not in my plot, I was told there was a fire after they purchased it and all the records were lost. Very convenient. !!! Anyway great expose' . Someone needs to held accountable here. Maybe, this will help shed light on this situation. Excellent job.Keep up the great work !
Love that fact your respectful and informative. Sad the situation that's going on. Upsetting how the family still has to dish out the $ for other people's irresponsibility to compile to take care the property. Prayers to the family. Thank you and sharing your exploration tours with us. Many success to you.
Dude got my notification. So sad, never did I ever imagine that a place like this could be abandoned, those poor families who still visit their loved ones. Thanks for the footage and the story JP.
I like when you revisit locations and give updates. I am often left wondering what happen to some of the places you have filmed, especially important locations like this that are historical or sacred. I look forward to watching any other videos of places you once filmed. I also like the more historical facts of the places you have filmed it gives the locations more meaning and depth. It makes me as a view more personal invested into a location. And thank you for the video.

Canada seems to have it right (based on your Canadian viewer’s comment). We have many things wrong in this country, and this strikes me as VERY wrong. I did not realize that in burying our dead we were essentially selling them to people who may lose interest in caring for them.
The owner should be responsible for the cost of removal & reburial.
The owners are dead
Your town should pay for supplies and everyone should pitch in its the right thing to do .what’s wrong with your town geeze … I’d sue … bc. Their is no way I paid for burial and got so mis handled and vandalized like this is a crime in so many different ways by mostly on the officials bc their is no one living to.harass. For real I bet your officals waste more in a month then what this could of been to fix
Feel very sad for the families. The concrete boxes you saw are vaults or liners. They are put into the ground, and the casket is placed inside of it. It is supposed to protect the casket. Thank you for sharing this story with us. I did watch the original video earlier today, so the update was appreciated.
This was a great video! Thank youfor bringing it to us. Such a sad situation that should never happen.
Hi JP, those are the vault's that the casket goes into in the ground. That's really sad, A lot of people are not going to be able to move their loved ones, because there's not going to be anything left to move.how awful is that.🙄
This is so sad. I feel so sorry for the families that can't afford to have their loved ones moved.
Nice job JP. Really enjoyed seeing this place. It's a shame that it has gone to such disrepair.
Thank you for the update. The respect you show is wonderful.
I was hoping that the roof had been repaired etc. like they talked about in the first video. ...this is too sad for words. Never thought things like this happened...It is good that Chris, the funeral director , is trying to help the situation as best he can ...Thank you for exposing this in such a sensitive way , Jay ....My heart goes out to the families.
Ill report back if any more changes happen
hi jp thanks for the upload. very sad to see such a place in disrepair.
I received notification, Great update JP. Thanks for all the information. Love all your videos.
Glad you went during daylight.
This would be the #1 creep out location yet.
Tasteful and respectful, as usual, JP.
Thanks!
I just may return at night
sad video but a glimmer of light with the funeral director stepping up to help the family.
What a great person to do this!
This is unbelievable that these families are having to go thru this...smh...so sad. You can tell that was once a beautiful place.
I would volunteer to help maintain this place. I wonder if someone could put something like that together, a community project.
You can't. It's private property.
You can't. It's private property.
I think people could start a community project now since the owners have officially walked away from it all.
Great idea. Can you maybe speak with someone involved with the City or County? What about someone in State gov't. ? There is an election coming up next November.......
@@goodfoottoo great idea original poster had. Caring and loving people who still have a heart would obviously be willing to help, but the b.s red tape from politicians and the government will NEVER EVER change. You know how they do?...even if they'd be lucky enough to get a "promise" to help the goof people that want to help...they will never keep their promises. Its absolutley sad, depressing, and enough to get your blood boiling! Each time I hear of these stories (too often) only shows me cremation is the only way.
I truly hope those souls are R.I.P bc surely whats left of their vessels are not. Heartbreaking!!!
What an incredibly sad video, and how tragic for the families that have loved ones there. Hard to believe the way this has come about. Heartbreaking.
Now I'm trying to watch all these vids. Not trying to say goodbye to jpvideos
Hi, JP
Wow! Thank you, JP. This is just terrible. I don't understand why the place was sold with the bodies still inside. You would think that the former owners would've extracted the bodies and moved them prior to selling. I also don't think it's fair that the loved one's have to pay to have their loved ones extracted when they had already paid the expense of having them buried upon their deaths. Seems to me that the responsibility of extraction should go to whomever purchased the building and let it go like this or the former owners before them. This was certainly not something you see everyday. Thank you so much for this explore, and for all the background information on it, JP. My heart goes out to the poor families that have to deal with this situation now.
The previous video explains more of its history too.
@@JPVideos81 Thank you. I never saw that one so I'll check it out
Very sad for the people that are interred there and their families! Thanks for the update!
I can't picture in my head going to that place and not able to see the name of my love one in the wall as everything in there is destroyed and abandon. What a disgrace. Conditions are depressing. Thank you
for making this video with respect and consideration. Rip 🙏 for the souls laying there.
This was a great video. It is so sad to see this place in such distress.
This video just appeared in my suggested video. I love how you have a thorough overview before you went in and set a very respectful tone for the video and remains of peoples loved ones. I like this style over people going into abandoned places and saying yooooooo a million times. Good job, I’ll be spending my Friday night watching your videos.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy the other content.
What I like about your adventures...you learn about the history of the building or what you are exploring. It is a shame that the owners neglected the upkeep of the whole area. Who expects where you buried a loved one that the owners would not take care of the resting place and let the building become condemned.
That's so very sad for the families who have love ones there. I just dont understand how anyone can be so disrespectful. Thanks for the update.
Pretty terrible that the city would allow a cemetery to be orphaned or abandoned. Some of those remains may have no one left or maybe those related have no clue about the condition of the property. Glad the funeral director that's helping stepped up.
Hello from Australia. Love your video. I have a strange fascination for cemeteries. Keep up the great work!! This is so sad to think that there are loved ones that still remain inside.
Witnessing a decline that is reminiscent of old cemeteries no longer used or maintained.
JPVideos is my #1 go to online and favorite UA-cam channel
Kudos to you Sir
Ty Patrick
Those vaults are thousands upon thousands of dollars (the lower the crypt the more $). Its like they want families to pay for the same funeral twice.
My family is in the monument business and this is heartbreaking. Thank you Jay for bringing this to the public’s attention. Thank goodness for the funeral director who is going to take on this task. It looked like all the records in the office were ruined also. The cement looking caskets are vaults that go underground where the caskets lays inside.
Ty
this breaks my heart Random vandalism and neglect when you trusted the owners to take care of their loved ones' resting place So sad
Burial is expensive the first time but to relocate again is so terrible especially for the family. They should not have to bare the cost a second time. It is sad and my heart goes out to the families.
Great video. Sad to see the owners refuse to pay the proper respect to the location and left it to rot. It is really sad to see this place if eternal rest decaying.
Agreed! Sad but beautiful
This infuriates me! Why can we not just properly take care of our dead!?
Thats a disgusting attitude
Money.
Thank you for the update. Such a sad thing to happen
Great entro 👍
This is so sad. Breaks my heart seeing this. No one had the decency to respect and care for these loved ones.
At least put a tarp or something on the roof so it would'nt leak. Sad
These were people and their finale resting place. Great video. Thank you for the back story on what happend...
😊👍👍
How very sad and heartbreaking this is. I would be heartsick and completely devastated if any of my loved ones were interred here. 😢
That was so sad JP! I just can not imagine! You would think somebody, somewhere would be held accountable for maintaining the grounds and Buildings. Sad sad sad! Was that a real
Stained Glass window? Safe travels and God Bless!!
I appreciate the respect you always show to the places you visit.
Ty
I cannot believe this is allowed to even occur. I wouldn’t want this karma on me! Such a sad situation for the family members and the spirits of those still left there. ✨🙏🏼✨
Thank you for the update. So sad this is happening. I hope with your video this resting place gains exposure and something is done to take care of this sad situation.
FYI, I got notification of this video.
This is downright heartbreaking 😢😢😢
I got the notification!!! Very sad for the families and should never came to this.
Thank you for bringing this too the public notice! I can’t believe the government hasn’t shown more respect too this devastating situation!!!! A lot of the deceased probably don’t have family still alive.
Well done with respect. One of the saddest situations ive ever seen.
Sad that people can't see Thier loved ones stay safe out there jp
Very sad...
Hopefully someone else gets it and does what's right..
Thanks JP.
✌😎
My heart goes out to the families, such a waste. Thanks for the video and I did not get a notification of your new video, but I always check every day. Aloha
How in the USA was the cemetery and mausoleum allowed to go to a tax sale in the first place. That's an insane regulation.
because Luzerne county Pa is very corrupt. And so are the courts. If there is money to put in the counties pocket(politicians), they'd sell their own family members
It looks like there are many unfilled plots, someone probably bought it thinking that they could fix up the place and start selling plots again. They bailed when they realized how much it would cost.
Thank you so much for the update! When I saw the first video, I just thought it was so sad to see what was happening to this mausoleum. It is always good to hear updates. Take care, be safe, and I can't wait to see you in the next one!!! 🙋🏽♀️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💙💙💙
😊
There are always two sides to every story, however I cannot imagine the current owners didn't know what they are buying. The disrespect for dead is unbelievable and I'm saddened for the families who have their loved ones interred there.
JP, This is by far one of your most informative videos to date. As so many of yours are. I can relate to this one because I never realized how bad this industry has become ! It is especially relative to me because having recently finding out that my own family plots in N.J. in a perpetual care cemetery, was sold to another organization. I've a four hour trip to go and investigate what they are up to? The last time I was there several years ago, whenI inquired about some other family members not in my plot, I was told there was a fire after they purchased it and all the records were lost. Very convenient. !!! Anyway great expose' . Someone needs to held accountable here. Maybe, this will help shed light on this situation. Excellent job.Keep up the great work !
Thank you chris
this is a shame. I would be beyond mad if one of my loved ones were buried there.
You should do more updates on previous visits. Great follow up.
I did get the notification, make sure your device is set properly...
Chicago loves you. Never stop making videos JP!
🙂
I was at work when I got the notification so I'm just getting to watch it.
Love that fact your respectful and informative. Sad the situation that's going on. Upsetting how the family still has to dish out the $ for other people's irresponsibility to compile to take care the property. Prayers to the family. Thank you and sharing your exploration tours with us. Many success to you.
Ty
I will be at work by then and won't be able to see it live. Will have to wait til it goes to regular video.
Dude got my notification. So sad, never did I ever imagine that a place like this could be abandoned, those poor families who still visit their loved ones.
Thanks for the footage and the story JP.
🙂
I did NOT get a notification for this. Just happened to check in.
I was just commenting the SAME thing.
Ditto...no notification for me either
Love the video and the reverence you showed at the site. Thanks 😊
You are right the coffins go inside the concrete vault
I like when you revisit locations and give updates. I am often left wondering what happen to some of the places you have filmed, especially important locations like this that are historical or sacred. I look forward to watching any other videos of places you once filmed. I also like the more historical facts of the places you have filmed it gives the locations more meaning and depth. It makes me as a view more personal invested into a location. And thank you for the video.
Thanks samantha
I will be cremated and my ashes spread in the mountains next to a river ... don't need a grave marker ..God will know who I am and that is good enough
Amen I agree❤😊
Wow, incredibly sad! Thanks for showing us around!
