Beautiful cemetery! Strange how they left the two cans of ashes there. Agree the door should be locked. Love the metal markers! They held up so well! Thanks for the tour Tony!
There is a huge zinc marker in a local historic cemetery. Legend has it that bootleggers used to keep liquor behind the panels during Prohibition. Maybe the cemetery staff would know whose ashes those are?
Metal grave markers "This began in the 1870s and became a trend for a while. People purchased zinc gravestones for several reasons. Grave monuments made of zinc were less expensive than ones made of more traditional materials. The zinc monuments were marketed as “white bronze”, which made it sound rather fancy." There are whole cemeteries of these in the east. People seem to steal the name plates. Order the marker from a catalogue and custom for the name plate. Make note to office for insecure internment on the ashes? Nice tour.
Hard to believe that they just leave the ashes out in the open they should be in a grave or with a loved one.The metal headstone 🪦 was really nice loved the Victorian thinking also.Have a great week Tony.
That was a great visit Tony 👍👍👍 off work today for the holiday and watching this makes me wanna go out and do one 😀 but it’s pouring rain out here, ugh 😩 Excellent as always Tony ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lovely cemetery. The metal markers were very interesting. The mausoleums were really ornate and beautiful and hearing about the families made it that much more interesting. Thanks for a great walk, Tony. 💜
The first grave is interesting! Many southerners fled to CA after the war between the states. In Hollywood there was a beautiful CSA monument for the CSA veterans who stayed at Dixie manor the veterans home the UDC made for them. Their stories in the book are heart breaking and powerful.
Very cool those mausoleums were awesome to date I have not seen any that nice by the way I believe that 500000 thousand after inflation adjustment would be worth millions today .
You’re in Napa,wine country,nice! I’ve never seen a metal headstone either. I’ll have to keep my eyes open on my cemetery walks. I’ve seen before,several wives buried with the husband in the family plot. With that sign talking about cemeteries being created to look like parks,the very first one was built in 1831 in Boston Massachusetts,The Mount Auburn Cemetery. I’ve been once, you can’t see it all in one day. It does feel like a beautiful park,with graves there too. You should plan your vacation for next spring or summer to come to New England. You like old and historical cemeteries,we have them. I’m bias, I like the cemeteries here in Massachusetts .
If you could let the management know about the unlocked gate to the crypt? Hopefully nobody disrespects that sacred ground.🙏😇 Thanks for sharing this video 🙏
Hey Tony, maybe the ashes were placed in there to be interred in the wall at a later time and it never happened... Maybe one of those names on the mausoleum wall is missing their ashes. They could have been delivered there and somehow were never interred. Make you wonder if the mausoleum door gate was forgotten to be re-locked after the ashes were delivered or it was "jimmied" open. Beautiful tour. Yes, the stained glass window in the Duffy mausoleum represents "Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God that Taketh away the sin of the world." Beautiful!
Very often the wife's of the widower would have been related often sisters or Cosin's especially if their was children in the first marriage that a relation of the first wife would be blood to the second wife and their could be land involved that was given to the daughter as dowry preventing the land going to the children of a second outsider wife and her outsider kids after the death of the first husband don't you see they're was no tv and these old ones had plenty of time for thinking and working things out you mourned the dead that time but you did not go soft often business contracts was sealed between the son of one man and the daughter of another man things came together better with a marriage and children their was no divorce marriages were arranged no such thing as falling in love caught playing around could result in getting your neck stretched especially for the woman as I say no softness God bless great work
I like the Victorian thinking, parks for the living, and mansions for the dead. This cemetery incorporates both. Great video Tony, thank you.
Thank you for sharing,Tony🪦🕊💜
Absolutely beautiful
Damnit man I’ll be working!!! Right on can’t wait to see
Nice walk Tony. Thanks so much!
Those old metal (zinc) markers are very nice.
Beautiful cemetery! Strange how they left the two cans of ashes there. Agree the door should be locked. Love the metal markers! They held up so well! Thanks for the tour Tony!
Dans les Starting Blocks🔬🎬🍀Alex France🍻💪🙏🌌
Well done and very informative. Its great you can still find information on someone who passed away over a century ago.
Congrats on finding your first zinc memorials! Loved hearing the Knight family story!
Neat...really liked this one
She may have been a member of The Red Hat Society which is a international women's organization. Awesome videos by the way!
Beautiful tour, love the mausoleums! Looked like a great day for a walk there 😀

Thank you. This cemetery is so unique. The beautiful stain glass and the metal markers very unusual. I never saw a metal marker.

Right on thanks!
@@CryptDoor We all love history. What you found looks like a couple people ended their existence in peach cans.
Hard to believe that they just leave the ashes out in the open they should be in a grave or with a loved one.The metal headstone 🪦 was really nice loved the Victorian thinking also.Have a great week Tony.
Enjoyed watching your vlogs been sick catching up thank u
Me too. Infection just will not go away!
Interesting tour! The zinc markers sure seem to hold up quite well. The stained glass inside some of the mausoleums was beautiful.
Cemeteries are an adventure for sure!! Nice finds 👍
That was a great visit Tony 👍👍👍 off work today for the holiday and watching this makes me wanna go out and do one 😀 but it’s pouring rain out here, ugh 😩
Excellent as always Tony ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks! Sorry to hear about the rain. We’re gonna be super sunny and hot today
@@CryptDoor that what I heard, like 110 degrees??? Man stay cool 👍
Mausoleums are so amazing. Thank you for your video.
Love the metal ones. Last forever and can read them. Very nice place.
Zinkers are wonder! They seem to last forever. I wish they were still made, but I understand the material is scarce.
Lovely cemetery. The metal markers were very interesting. The mausoleums were really ornate and beautiful and hearing about the families made it that much more interesting. Thanks for a great walk, Tony. 💜
Never knew about or seen metal headstones ...interesting 🪦
Great explore was the a date on the urns
No date.
Great videos 📸👍😊tony

Please see St Helena CA cemetery and 2 cemeteries in yountville CA , one is a veterans cemetery .
I’ll put that on the list and I’ll look it up thank you
Well I learned a lot today from watching this. Amazing all the things to learn.
Very cool those mausoleums were awesome to date I have not seen any that nice by the way I believe that 500000 thousand after inflation adjustment would be worth millions today .
Napa California was always a very nice community
It looks like the metal ones hold up better , I think they are beautiful
You’re in Napa,wine country,nice!
I’ve never seen a metal headstone either. I’ll have to keep my eyes open on my cemetery walks.

On that day before I left, I’ll let them know.

Interesting
Hey Tony, maybe the ashes were placed in there to
be interred in the wall at a later time and it never happened...
Maybe one of those names on the mausoleum wall is missing
their ashes. They could have been delivered there and somehow
were never interred. Make you wonder if the mausoleum door gate
was forgotten to be re-locked after the ashes were delivered or it was
"jimmied" open. Beautiful tour. Yes, the stained glass window in the
Duffy mausoleum represents "Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God that
Taketh away the sin of the world." Beautiful!
Thouse marker's were made of zinc , and yes , they are cast in two pices .
Can't believe the door is open of the mausoleum and two urns on the floor
I know very surprising
The metal marker's were made out of zinc , and were popular in the late 18 hundred's to the early 20th century
Thank you very much yes, upon further research on those. I found that out later as well
Very often the wife's of the widower would have been related often sisters or Cosin's especially if their was children in the first marriage that a relation of the first wife would be blood to the second wife and their could be land involved that was given to the daughter as dowry preventing the land going to the children of a second outsider wife and her outsider kids after the death of the first husband don't you see they're was no tv and these old ones had plenty of time for thinking and working things out you mourned the dead that time but you did not go soft often business contracts was sealed between the son of one man and the daughter of another man things came together better with a marriage and children their was no divorce marriages were arranged no such thing as falling in love caught playing around could result in getting your neck stretched especially for the woman as I say no softness
God bless great work
The metal one's are made out of zinc ,
Were you punning when you said “skeleton key”?
No
@@CryptDoor how do you tell the difference?
.... and what was the "shocking discovery'"??
Watch the video… it has to do with the thumbnail
