"Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time." My grandfather died in 1971 and was buried, later my grandmother had him disinterred and placed in a Mausoleum. The mausoleum deteriorated into deplorable shape and was a disgrace. (Way to go Pulaski-Bleckley Memorial Gardens in Cochran, GA). When she died in 2011 at 104 yo, we had her buried, and when the ground was stabilized around her grave, we had my grandfather reburied next to her.
I love videos on mausoleums. There is something about them that l find interesting. A true shame that so many are collapsing through lack of maintenance. Keep up the great videos. Oh and hi from Australia
What is really sad is the pathetic "Ikea" columbarium inside the front door. Awful! But guess what....this is what ALL these places are going to look like eventually....no matter how much one pays for a spot.
in a way, yes your right. i'll stick with cremation and my kids can scatter me on the agreed spots. like the bible, our bodies go to dust and the spirt back to god in the end.
The practice should be outlawed. Huge waste of resources and leaves a massive burden on future generations who could care less about the people inside.
@@johneasler9967 I care about him. Or at least what he has to say. Because HE IS RIGHT. Maybe you should think before you blurt out garbage in the dialogue box! The facts are that there currently are literally hundreds of mausoleums in the US alone that are now in receivership because indeed - nobody cares about them or the bodies inside them once the money is gone. Many of them are now high profile cases involving looting and grave-robbing - including body parts like skulls which are then sold on the black market. By law, only 5%of the sale price of each unit must be held in reserve for so called 'perpetual care'. How far do you think that 5% goes? Well actually, the figures show that in most cases it only lasts around 65 years - resulting in the hundreds of crumbling and leaking mausoleums that we now see all over America. I agree that this method of dealing with the dead should be outlawed. It's really just an alternative for people who can't deal with burials or cremations, anyway. They think their bodies will lay perfectly embalmed forever...LOL! But in fact they rot just like everyone else.
I don't understand how cemeteries can offer perpetuity in the care of loved ones buried in their cemetery . When space becomes limited or unavaliable , they lose money coming in and often abandon the property . How many real old graves has anyone seen that shows continual attention ? In my own state of Oregon , I have explored a huge , massive Cemetery , where when I finally found the oldest death dates , Blackberries and shrubs covered so many graves , I really had to work to find a headstone . When I returned a year later those blackberries and shrubs along with scores of headstones had been bulldozed over and a new Mausoleum was under construction . They no doubt thought , nobody visits , any relatives are dead too ,, we can use the space . Time eventually causes us all to fade into the past . I enjoyed your video Allison , and the focus wasn't that bad .. Best Wishes with your new channel !!
Geeze this place looks like everyone dumps their old unwanted furniture, cheap wall art and granny’s old plastic flowers. The bunched up carpeting gives it the look of a recently flooded basement.
What I find so disturbing is that mausoleums are only for the living, once everybody that has ever loved you dies that building is for no one. It's now a building full of unknowns.
I find mausoleums fascinating for some reason but I really feel like the practice needs to be banned. It’s a huge waste of resources and leave a huge burden on people in the future who have to move the bodies when the building inevitably falls into disrepair. Put me in a cheap box and let me decay in the dirt like nature intended.
I find them fascinating too but like you are such a waste of money and am so glad am having a Pure Cremation, no body rotting in a grave for me...gross!!!🤭😠😷🤧🤧
With all the fresh looking arrangements....how is this possible? It feels like love and care are present; unless it's not from visitors but perhaps a form of perpetual care. The perpetual care clearly needs a a lot. I can feel so much; I would still be interested in walking around respectfully.
I'm getting VERY strong grandma's house vibes here. Not mausoleum, house. I am half-expecting a smiling old woman to come out with cookies and tea any second now.
I have never understood the use of mausoleums- particularly those built in recent times using what seems to be standard house building materials. They are, at best, only a temporary solution. When they decay, or the owners abandon them, or when the deceased's relatives die off or move away, we are left with a ruin full of cadavers. This isn't the way to achieve eternal rest.
@@duchessfinao True, given there are no severe natural disasters i.e. earthquakes, hurricane, tornadoes etc. I think grave desecration, and acts of vandalism, robbing are also possibilities to take into consideration.
@@duchessfinao He meant the construction of the buildings .. roofing iron, and wall construction .. The frame and other parts that are hidden. There are mausoleums all over America at the moment which are gathering a great deal of media interest due to their crumbling states and neglect. Several of note have just been abandoned and families are locked out by city authorities who have condemned them as unsafe. Vandals have ransacked many of the coffins (in the case of one mausoleum called The Mound 8 coffins with remains were left behind and completely ransacked for the bones!) Americans are going to be inundated with crumbling mausoleums over the next 50 years!
People point out very good observations. What does happen to the remains inside those places when the family members no longer are around to pay for the upkeep?
i love mausoleums and cemeteries as a whole. The community mausoleum i go to is very inviting to me but maybe not so much to others. it needs alot of improvements of which i plan to help with myself.
I’m so sorry. Your going from this to that so quickly . A crypt with what looked like a wedding picture( Tieman) on the wall you just skipped right over . This mausoleum looks like nothings been done to it since the 60’s . The people with the money that started it and advertised it , would be beautiful forever have now passed and the building is not being given a dime to keep it up for years. That my friends, is why I will most definitely will opt for cremation . The body’s in any mausoleum will never RIP forever . Thank You for at least not forgetting about these people.
The worst part is not just the building, but when the bodies are decomposing. The decayed material could pose a danger to both the soil and water tables in the ground.
@@j.whiteoak6408 Ooonoooo! I dont mean to be gross, but the fluid contained blood, greasy human yellow melted fat, soaking the carpet.The leaking water mixed into it.
@@shirleyholder5868 I definitely missed that! Do you remember where abouts on the video that was, please? I'm not saying that it can't happen, because exploding caskets certainly have been known to occur! But inside the vaults of modern mausoleums is a system of drainage and vents that it's unlikely. Both Kari Northey and Ask a Mortician channels on TH-cam talk about the inner workings of a mausoleum. Also, there's covers which the caskets are deposited into and are pulled up and over them prior to sealing the vaults ... so ... it could have been a leaking casket, yes. But it would be easy to imagine that it's blood and human fat instead of water and rust from the leaking roof, too. I HOPE that's what it is! This mausoleum has been in the news quiet a bit in recent years concerning the lack of maintenence and roofing leaks after its change of ownership. But I would really like to see where you saw that on the video because I looked for it twice but I can't find it. Thank you!
@@j.whiteoak6408 I do not know what to tell you now that you said you did not see it. At least ten people looked at the coverage and ALL saw and were amazed by it ,and immediately knew that the reddish yellow stains were seeping from UNDER the crypts,on to the floor, over the sides of the crypts as they tried to camouflage it by laying carpeting.I will say no more.
Actually, a close up of the names and dates shows them to be old burials with plastic flowers. I don't see any recent ones. Apparently new owners intended replacing the leaking roof of this mausoleum and putting in new carpets after repairs ... but still nothing has been done. One TH-camr was hammered for declaring it an abandoned building. But it's not far from it.
@@conditionallyunconditional5691 2008 isn't RECENT, either! Do you LIKE to argue just for the SAKE of arguing? A LOT can happen in 12 years in a mausoleum!
I don't agree with mausoleums for the disposal of the dead. By law 5% of the sale fee must be set aside for 'perpetual endowment' - the upkeep of the interments and buildings. But it rarely seems to ever work that way once the original owner passes themselves. There's crumbling mausoleums all over America from 100-150 years old .. they just don't work!
@@allisonharwell7591 the ones at Lakewood in Minneapolis Minnesota are immaculate and unchanged. I don't know how they do it. But there is never even dust.
Great first video.I live in norh central texas and was wondering if anyone knows were this is?I have 4 pics the same as the oe of the tree at time stamp 6:21 I would love to see this place.
The problem is often leaking roofs leading to serious damage. In one video, the place is collapsing and condemned. It cost upwards of $6,000 to relocate a casket. My in-laws bought space in a mausoleum, and told my wife and sister what a great thing they were doing to sacrifice the family budget. I suspect the two daughters rolled their eyes. They both favor cremation. Even a burial plot is no good, if the place is run by crooks.
Did I miss something? Where's the decay? Yep, it appears somewhat outdated for a mausoleum....but that doesn't mean it's abandoned. The stocked broom closet and for sale sign along with fresh flowers testify to this.
Good video, maybe lower the music a little. The synthesizer music gets too distracting and eerie at times. The mausoleum looks in a state of disrepair. Why the For Sale sign on a tomb? 😳
Around here to squeeze out more money per acre they build these 2 ish story rectangle box building that stick out like a sort thumb, ugly as you can get. You can wall up 4, 5, 6 coffin high along 4 outside walls. The outside walls all around are the graves, the faceplate, opening. So basically a tall grave wall, folding in on itself, 3 times, to make a box. You look at these things, they look like detach walled in car ports. Flat roofing, last top interments right at roof level, you ask yourself, how are they going to do maintenance on this thing, say roof leak. Remove the occupants? The grave itself is the outside wall, who keeps that up? You know any modern building that doesn't need maintenance in 30 years? Those rich private mausoleum are usually constructed with lots of single slabs of stone, getting cheap and going with 30 year mall construction is a waste of money. 30 year mall construction, 30 year tax deductions, 30 year loan, mall construction usually means that mall is going to be torn down in 30 years and either rebuilt, or replaced with something else. My guessing they, cemetery, betting in 30 years no one will care. .
Why not bury a loved one in the ground? It’s not as if America is short of space. Once someone is buried in the ground, they never need to be disturbed again. Why stick them in a wall? Soon or later the family will have to remove their loved ones when the Mausoleum starts falling apart. It’s not as if the dead are on vacation and are coming back & will be really annoyed their mortal remains got wet and a bit muddy, ... THEY’RE DEAD!
Your better off being put into a cryogenic freeze. Once gone you belong to the ages and aftèr several generations pass you are totally forgotten inless famous.
It’s just terrible! Those carpets stained with “what”? Those poor families who paid to have their loved ones final resting place....and then to see this! AND up for sale!...OMG......think it’s just a dreadful thought for people who don’t have the money, as to how to move loved ones elsewhere? I dread to think of the overall smell of decay in there, and yes, some have been removed, without much consideration for the person left below it looks like, so not very professionally done...what an utter disaster. I’ve often wondered how these places can afford to exist....obviously some can’t and this is the result. Just tragic. 😢
I wouldn't spend too much time in there. Evidence of mold and crypt leakage..very toxic. Building a proper mausoleum is extremely expensive and the cost of internment would be out of most people's reach. You get what you pay for. Cremation for me!
I love seeing vintage mausoleums but please accept this bit of criticism to help improve your channel. You need to work on your focusing and camara work. We don't care about flowers or ugly 70s furniture. We like to see the splendor and beauty that unfortunately has in some cases been left to ruin. Moving the camara back and forth quickly makes people nauseated, slow down and take your time. Narrations are always a plus, let the viewer into the moment by talking about it. Keep working on it and your will have great success.

If you do buy it, and do things to it to improve it. Who do you bill.??? Most everyone and many family members are already long dead. 🤐😯😖
I think its a futile attempt to capture life through death.
Your better off being put into a cryogenic freeze. Once gone you belong to the ages and aftèr several generations pass you are totally forgotten inless famous.
Where is this at ??
Mausoleum are a bad idea, building s don't last forever , they will and do fall apart
It’s just terrible! Those carpets stained with “what”? Those poor families who paid to have their loved ones final resting place....and then to see this! AND up for sale!...OMG......think it’s just a dreadful thought for people who don’t have the money, as to how to move loved ones elsewhere?
I dread to think of the overall smell of decay in there, and yes, some have been removed, without much consideration for the person left below it looks like, so not very professionally done...what an utter disaster. I’ve often wondered how these places can afford to exist....obviously some can’t and this is the result. Just tragic. 😢
I've never understood this burying in a wall thing. Put them in the ground or cremate them.
I don’t think the music could be any worse even by intent!
Tony Burkhart This was my first video..I'm sorry.
@@allisonharwell7591 Its not bad. If people don't like it they can mute the sound. Thanks for the video!
Rriff Rraff 👍🙂❤️
Is it haunted?
I'm not sure, but it is creepy.
KitKat - probably is 🙂
The furniture is 1970.
To make viewing this video, enjoyable, please mute the annoying sound.
Why are they allowed to get like this it seems there are lots in the USA the same or worse
If made out of granite rock with copper doors they will last for hundreds of years. Most of the time will out live the family. Lol
yellow driver 602 👍🙂
This place should have had an HOA for a little uniformity... ;)
I wouldn't spend too much time in there. Evidence of mold and crypt leakage..very toxic. Building a proper mausoleum is extremely expensive and the cost of internment would be out of most people's reach. You get what you pay for. Cremation for me!
How do the owners continue to be allowed to be able to get away with this? These are people love ones laying in these crypts.
Sorry, that sound is horrible after 2min. could not continue.
I'm sorry! This was my first video. I am starting to try different styles in my other videos. I appreciate your feedback!
Forget the music, would rather hear your voice and go through the video @@allisonharwell7591
Good video but that music is annoying as heck.
It looks in bad shape can thay move the body’s to a nother cemetery
yes
Instead of the music,You should just narrate ,Openly tell us your thoughts as you film.
Interesting video but the music sucked, really, change the music.
Well you are no Lamont at large, you could have given some details and payed some respect to the people that are still there?
Music very unpleasant
Chemical decaying soup.
the music is extremely annoying !!!!!!!!
Whats up with the seedy mismatched furniture? Yuck 🤤
1970s vintage the dead dont sit much
Another mismanagement of money. Sad...
Good video but that monotonous music is damn annoying.
The "music" is creepy, but so is an abandoned mausoleum.
a lot of out of focus pictures
I love seeing vintage mausoleums but please accept this bit of criticism to help improve your channel. You need to work on your focusing and camara work. We don't care about flowers or ugly 70s furniture. We like to see the splendor and beauty that unfortunately has in some cases been left to ruin. Moving the camara back and forth quickly makes people nauseated, slow down and take your time. Narrations are always a plus, let the viewer into the moment by talking about it. Keep working on it and your will have great success.
Hey! I like the ancient furniture and flowers. Its a good set piece.
@@DanaTheInsane might be, but the camara work needs much improvement.
Where is this?
