your commentary makes this video so much more enjoyable, i love hearing your excitement and overall shock as you tour these funeral homes, i hope to one day explore some too
Two things: 1. The “second hearse” wasn’t a hearse. It was a limo for the families of the decease. In my small town, the hearse went first, followed by the limo. 2. Please come up with another word for “grimy”. Maybe “weather-worn, dirty or soiled”? I like your style, showing inside cupboards, drawers (the wayward casket or two). Very professional and respectful.
I do not understand why nobody sold the hearses--even for scrap metal. That's worth money. Those caskets are also worth a fortune. I know I have a casket in my house--I use it as a coffee table and it's beautiful. Great storage space too! Coffins are beautiful! I really love this video! Many funeral homes went out of business because most people are cremating now--cremation is a lot cheaper to dispose of a body.
Breaks my heart to see things in the Bldgs just rotting away. Granted what he has found is not in good shape. Many in have seen could be donated to families who can't afford a decent funeral for loved ones.💔😪💔😪
Suck's the limo is such poor shape. It's very rare to have the funeral limo and hearse together. There's a good amount people who collect funeral vehicles. The trifecta is having the hearse, limo and flower car, which is pretty much a fancy el Camino for carrying you guessed it, flowers
The "casket" in the chapel (with the viewing window) is actually a coffin from the looks of it. Wide at the shoulders and narrows at the head and feet. Still used in the UK, Australia and such. The viewing window was common in the old days.
The $11,000 was a burial vault. It is the most expensive one they make. The fabric on the casket is a cloth unit. The fabric makes it look better and underneath is frequently fiber board. The no lined bottom of the wooden casket means it is a rental casket. The bottom of the interior slides out with the body on it and it is frequently cremated then.
They could have sold the hearses. It’s just wrong for the owners to walk away. Not do anything to help make a bad situation a bit better. We don’t use caskets over her in the UK just coffins. They still cost a huge amount of money. I have decided l want a cardboard coffin for my cremation. Who would believe that there is a status in what you are laid to rest in.
What a shame the photos were not taken by family. That family car would make nice transportation... they can't have many miles on them and garaged, sort of. Wonder why the family didn't auction the furniture and equipment? Sad, for sure, for the family's losses and the place getting run down.
@@spazmonkey3815 I've seen from the UK prices that they can range from 3.5k to over 10k So not cheap 😳 And I ain't planning of going anywhere just yet 🤞
What a colossal waste of money spending on a funeral is, the pricing is extortionate, burry me in a plywood coffin, even that’s expensive for what it is but it’s better than paying thousands of dollars to be put into the ground.
Batesville Casket Co. Is located in Batesville, MS. It's been in business for years and years and makes all types of caskets and vaults. If you Google it you can find lots of information about the company. I used to live about 30 miles north of there in a town called Tunica, MS. Both my late husband and his parents and their families were all from that part of MS.
The caskets with the velvet texture are called "flocked". Odd to see them, as they haven't been popular for decades. Big following for hearses. both those cars would go fast if sold.
For any who cares, the plain wooden casket without lining is a viewing casket that has a cremation casket inside for viewing. The one in the chapel is a coffin not a casket
That was the prep room, where was the embalming room with suction machine tubes and such? That room was to small not the right equipment for embalming?🤔
18:02 -- not too creepy -- that's for people that get mangled and they rebuild the head and face in some cases so you can see your loved one through the window.
I recently watched a YT documentary on the history of African American funeral homes and cemeteries - very interesting. PS I bet there are a few people out there just waiting for a black caddy hearse!
$20 says this place gets torn down and replaced with a frickin' Starbucks. 😒 EDIT-- Seeing these price tags, I'm glad I'm an organ donor. Besides helping/saving others or being used as medical/scientific material, I can stay away from the greedy-ass funeral industry.
You can get caskets way cheaper from Walmart . Why spend $11,000. for something that's going under ground, duh. Still watching.😎 You can get a suite full of mushroom seeds in it, kept in a vacuum sealed plastic bag. The bodie's placed in it & put in a wooder area somewhere, the mushrooms grow & there you go. Weird stuff.
I know a woman whose mother died and she was so sorrowful she bought her a 14,000$ casket. When it was being lowered into the ground she said"Oh my god what have I done?I just buried 14,000$!!!".
I really want to encourage you to do your research before you narrate these videos number one a 20 gauge steel casket is the cheapest grade of steel there is the lower the gauge the more expensive so the silver ebony was not an expensive casket, furthermore, batesville casket is the largest or second largest casket company currently in the united states. A lot of the content and information you are giving is incorrect
I wonder if any bodies are hidden in the attic or basement like the Cantrell funeral parlor in Detroit.I wouldn't be surprised...I mean why abandon it if there wasn't something up. Everything in there could have been sold for a hefty price. I think this place was trashy even when it was in business.
@@abandonedcentralyour voice is hot. Videos are good bc you don’t make me sea sick with the moving and you’re interest in detail is cool bc you look closely at all the stuff I like to see. Plus, it was nice of you to respond to these people’s questions…like you’re not toooo cool to answer. 🤷🏻♀️
Wow, this looks like it was really beautiful in it's day. Thanks for sharing yet another defunct funeral business🏚
The "velvet" caskets are made of doeskin. I remember there were some flattop caskets that were inexpensive in the 1970s decade.
Great explore. I love abandoned funeral home finds, so cool.
They are really cool finds esp like this one. Thanks for watching Amanda!
your commentary makes this video so much more enjoyable, i love hearing your excitement and overall shock as you tour these funeral homes, i hope to one day explore some too
Thank you so much for the support we greatly appreciate it!
Sooooo AC thanks guys!!! Awesome video!!!!❤❤❤❤😊
We love the funeral homes! Glad you like it Jeanae!
@@abandonedcentral me too me too. Did you all come on last week?
Another fantastic vid AC 👍 Poor Helen hope shes at peace 😢
Thanks for the support! Its greatly appreciated!
Grimy and caskets galore I love it 😂😂😂😂 I love your videos Bob!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching Katie!
You're a funny person Joan from new Zealand thanks for sharing keep doing what you're doing all the best 😊
How sad that the building is falling to pieces. The cars are so beautiful. The coffins with viewing windows are often used for infectious cases.

Those black irons are called Marcel irons. They were mainly used on black hair. They get extremely hot! I am a liscensed Cosmetologist in CA

Those are the old but still the best marcel curling irons😮
I have my grandmother’s old sets with the heater.
Very cool 😎
Thank you

Makes me think of the tallman from phantasm
The family lived off the funeral home now done they could clean up the place you family members should be ashamed
Time has stopped for that place..
Those clothes look remarkably clean up the rest of the home
I enjoyed your video. It was very interesting.
Thanks for watching!
Damn! He said, “Is that Jesse Jackson?”.🤦♂️🤣😂
Bruhhhhhhh
If rooms not connected how would they move the bodies????
The "casket" in the chapel (with the viewing window) is actually a coffin from the looks of it. Wide at the shoulders and narrows at the head and feet. Still used in the UK, Australia and such. The viewing window was common in the old days.
But because they serve the same purpose, the names get used interchangeably.
Those hearses and limos should be bought and restored back to life
They will eventually I’m sure. Barn finds have to come from somewhere.
The $11,000 was a burial vault. It is the most expensive one they make. The fabric on the casket is a cloth unit. The fabric makes it look better and underneath is frequently fiber board. The no lined bottom of the wooden casket means it is a rental casket. The bottom of the interior slides out with the body on it and it is frequently cremated then.
Yet another absolutely abandoned funeral home 😮😮
So many of them around the USA. Thanks for all the support Robert!
@@abandonedcentral you are welcome young man 👍😎
Wow what a creepy casket with the window

They still cost a huge amount of money. I have decided l want a cardboard coffin for my cremation. Who would believe that there is a status in what you are laid to rest in.
The guy you asked if he was Jesses Jackson was an actor
It's so crazy to see the caskets
This video was pretty good.
Glad you thought so. Thanks for watching.

I made arrangements to be cremated. Chose a beauty of a container from the zip loc collection. I'm satisfied.
I'd love to see the milage on these hearses and family cars. Never seen a velvet casket before 🤔
I think they are very cheap.
@@spazmonkey3815 I've seen from the UK prices that they can range from 3.5k to over 10k So not cheap 😳 And I ain't planning of going anywhere just yet 🤞
I hope they come collect they peoples pictures off the walls
What disgusting work conditions for a mortician.
Looks very unsanitary.
Really sad.
What a colossal waste of money spending on a funeral is, the pricing is extortionate, burry me in a plywood coffin, even that’s expensive for what it is but it’s better than paying thousands of dollars to be put into the ground.
17:58 That is a coffin, the ones before that were caskets.
One Hearse and one family car
Thanks for the info Keith!

When I bought my father's casket they were in Batesville Indiana but that was 1995
I have one of those paymaster machines. Mine is green with the key. I got it from goodwill for $4.00. I thought it was cool!
So sad.
Have a Beer 🍻
So where is Helen?
It's Miracle nobody tries to go in there and vandalize or steal from the funeral home since it's abandoned.
The caskets with the velvet texture are called "flocked". Odd to see them, as they haven't been popular for decades. Big following for hearses. both those cars would go fast if sold.
So how does the families get their loved ones remains when this happens?
I HOPE YOU'RE WEARING A RESPIRATOR & PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & GOGGLES!😳
For any who cares, the plain wooden casket without lining is a viewing casket that has a cremation casket inside for viewing.
The one in the chapel is a coffin not a casket
But where's Helen??? 😮
I wonder if any of those vehicles work.
That was the prep room, where was the embalming room with suction machine tubes and such? That room was to small not the right equipment for embalming?🤔
I can't believe that hasn't been cleaned out yet
The silver table in the prep room is called a body table...I work in a funeral home ☺️
Legit question can they take the vehicles?
The family doesn’t want the funeral home period
if that’s Helen Casket where’s Helen.?
18:02 -- not too creepy -- that's for people that get mangled and they rebuild the head and face in some cases so you can see your loved one through the window.
I love funeral home videos
Me too! We have a ton of them on our channel.
I wonder if the locked casket has a body in it as it’s all stained 😮
Where is this video taken from cause might be interested in a couple vehicles???? Maybe!
It's not his to sell.
Once the roof gives up, grimy sets in pretty quickly.
Especially when there are body fluids dripping through it.
The Major concerns unsanitary conditions and the folmadyde and other chemicals which are very dangerous
Thank you, great job! I wonder if it is a fire hazard, these decaying homes?
Thanks for watching! This one probably not as much as other thats still have the power running to them that also have water damage.
I recently watched a YT documentary on the history of African American funeral homes and cemeteries - very interesting.
PS I bet there are a few people out there just waiting for a black caddy hearse!
Who was the owner of that funeral home they left all their valuables behind that casket cost money
Is this haunted
Probably by Helen since she can’t be found 😂😂
You bet!
Those are not hearses. It’s a hearse and a limo you can’t see that?
Both the same year Cadillacs around 96 models often bought in pairs
Hearted plural...
$20 says this place gets torn down and replaced with a frickin' Starbucks. 😒 EDIT-- Seeing these price tags, I'm glad I'm an organ donor. Besides helping/saving others or being used as medical/scientific material, I can stay away from the greedy-ass funeral industry.
SAVE THE CADILLAC!!!
1 hearse & 1 pallbearer car, not 2 hearses!

When it was being lowered into the ground she said"Oh my god what have I done?I just buried 14,000$!!!".
If you get the wal-mart one it comes with complementary ren & Stimpy pajamas to bury you in 🎉
I believe the small ones are for cremated remains
When you went to look in the casket with the window, would have been something to see a dummy inside looking back. 😳

20 gauge steel is extremely thin sheet metal
Have you ever seen a spirit of a deceased person in a funeral home
I have not.
Do you think Helen is resting in peace
I hope so 😔
