Have a great day guys!! 👊🏻✌🏻❤️
You too.. Have a blast..😇😎
Good morning ☀️ Rob u have a great day ! Keep warm it's freezing out here 😎
Very nice place but so sad to see it abandoned. Hopefully family still go see their loved ones there. Great to see it not vandalized like most abandoned places. Thanks for the adventure. Much love 👍👍❤
Have a great one ✌️
Great job Robb! Such a beautiful place stain glass was amazing ( it is really hard to make those windows) and the iron work on the gates and stairwells was awesome! You were very respectful to the residence I am sure their families appreciate that!
My grandfather is buried here and it has NEVER been abandoned. The owners let it fall into disrepair.
If it was truly abandoned the electricity would not work at all.
Where is this place
ECCastiron if you send me a private message I will tell you. But I’m not putting it on here.
I found it all ready.
Someone said it was oak grove
It is, I found it and its not abandoned, It is however changing ownership and the new owner is restoring the place.
I know exactly where this is. I have quite a few pictures of the interior as well. I perform military funeral honors and am in this cemetery fairly often. As noted previously in the comments, the cemetery is under new ownership and they are doing a great job of cleaning it up.
THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO... ITS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE STILL BEING USED AND REMODELED..AMEN...BLESSINGS...CECE IN NC USA
What is the cemetery called ?
@@Brianbravo2000 Oak Grove Memorial in St Louis Mo
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. It makes me feel so much better. Our loved ones deserve nothing less than the very best care, compassion and dignity. I am sure that this will be a great comfort to the families to know that someone will take care of their loved ones and they will once again have a place to go to visit. Bless you in all that you do and thank you once again for sharing this very important and comforting information 🙏
Holy crap the cost of constructing a mausoleum of this quality today would be well into the millions! The amount of high quality marble in this place is unreal. This place place is beautiful!
This is exactly WHY I will go for cremation when I have to authorize the disposal of my remains. ,,,, Just throw my ashes on the carpet and Hoover me UP! (( then dump me in the trash along with all the other rubbish )),
That opening is fucking amazing...I know it's a sad situation but that opened ng was like horror movie opening....
Anybody remember a band called Oingo Boingo ? --- had a song , Called " Dead Man's Party " -- " It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more , it's a Dead Man's Party , leave your body and soul at the door , your body and soul at the door ..."
There should be a law against leaving this huge place unattended. Some one should be there at all times, at least a guard and maintenance crew.
The stain glass with Jesus is beautiful!
The photography (filming) is very good in this vid, even though the way he presented it is questionable. Indeed, beautiful place. Even the size of the spaces was made to match the tile floor patterns. And the stain glass indeed is beyond wonderful!
That's not Jesus it's just some white guy with long hair, but sweet stained glass just the same.
How sad this is! This is an absolutely beautiful mausoleum that was clearly built with the intention it would always be there for loved ones to spend time with their departed. Just seeing the water-stained tombs and the leaking ceiling is horrible. There's such beauty in this place, from the marble to the stained glass, and it's all just going to rot away. So sad.
You are the most respectful guy I've ever watched. Thank you for that.
That's why I'm getting a natural burial. I know I'm going to be forgotten eventually. I don't need an expensive plot somewhere that has to be maintained and decorated until my surviving relatives die. It's of no use to me after all.
Not trying to be smart.But u Hit the nail on the coffin.
When my sister was dying she wanted something that was cheap as she was being cremated, thinking a cardboard coffin would be cheaper but it turned out the plain white coffin was $600 and a cardboard coffin was $1,500 . Yes she choose the $600 one.
Im being cremated.
Hauntingly beautiful. The marble, stained glass windows, the beautiful statues. Simply an amazing place. Such a tragedy to be forgotten about....
The one thing I love about marble it's hard to date. As your camera was paning around I saw death years from 1929. The mausoleum looks almost new.
I noticed that as well...
This place is amazing. Some of the dates on the crypts were not that long ago. It didn't look abandoned, beautiful, lights on, just in need of repair. It is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting this.
I don’t know how mausoleums work if people have to pay fees to keep their loved ones there. But it’s just a strange concept to me to have your final resting place be in a building. No building is going to last forever.
I always thought that mausoleums would have cremated ashes or relocated fully-decomposed bones interned behind those walls. I didn't realise it would be fresh bodies in caskets. :/
Although there was a sad story behind this Mausoleum, this was one amazing video and I love the architecture and the designs! Well done!
What's the story
Was able to find this place, but will leave the location disclosed. Appears that as of 2015 the attorney general was suing the owners for failing to properly maintain the entire place. Thankfully, the owners sold and it's now in the hands of new owners who are slowly trying to restore. Interesting story and awesome find.
That is a relief someone is planning to restore this beautiful place. I would be furious if I had loved ones there.
Thank you for finding that information out. It's sad when places such as these just fall flat and nothing happens after. So I'm glad that it won't be destroyed by some vandals.
Yes, thx for the info!
COOL!
Undisclosed?
This place has an incredible beauty.
What about the families.? The government should intervene but no is capitalism at the best. Some countries the government had had confiscated all cementaries. But I in county USA is business.
WOW! This place is gorgeous. I love the floors, wrought iron and marble. It’s great that they’re restoring it all, thanks RnK. Awesome explore!
This is why I will be cremated and thrown to the wind. Can’t depend on another to take care of you when you are alive. Even less so when you are dead. Great video guys. So sad to see. I hope some of the comments are true and there are new owners trying to take care of the place.
But your going to depend on someone to throw your ashes into the wind
When "ashes" are thrown to the wind, they drop straight down. They are actually too heavy to become airborne. The same in water - they just sink straight down.
What does it matter. You’ll be dead lol you’ll have no idea what happens regardless
Got my cremation paid for and it matters not what happens to the ashes.
Throw me to the wind. How does anyone want to lay and rot in a private little condo????
This was heart-wrenching. I feel so sad for the families of those interred there. There is no excuse for the abandonment of this sacred place.
I’ll bet there are family members who do not even know about the abandonment yet. I am always impressed with the respect you show in all the places you explore. May God bless every soul in this mausoleum. And you and Kristy.
Wow, what a grand place. Mausoleums seem like a bad idea to me-too temporary. My grandparents are are in a mausoleum that isn’t technically abandoned but is maintained even worse than this place. It breaks my heart to see them in such a crummy place. Once it’s all said and done, they’ll end up spending more time in that dump than all the time they were alive.
GREAT EXPLORE!! The staining that you are seeing on the walls might actually be bodily fluids leaking from the caskets. I like the idea of a mausoleum, but the idea of a building being maintained and still standing for all of eternity is a farce.
Yes. Inside the empty crypts there didn’t seem to be much ventilation so without the airflow… the bodies kinda pop and the fluid will leak out if there isn’t proper drainage to pull it away from the front 😕
Stained glass was beautifully done, so much detail. I read the comments and if I understood correctly this place has new owners and they are slowly remodeling. That would explain the lights being on.
That explains the lights. I'm sad they want to remodel anything. It's pretty
Elizabth Harris I suspect they actually want to restore more than remodel, but the lights would have to be left on because people still have to be able to visit their dead...and they paid good money for that privilege. I’m just not sure how new owners will make enough money since so much of it is already occupied.🖤🇨🇦
@@tamarrajames3590 well, I know in some states they can resell mosuleum space after a certain amount of time if nobody contests it. So maybe that is the plan. Move the remains to the ground to resell the spaces...who knows.
Elizabth Harris It costs more for an actual land plot than for a space in a mausoleum unless the mausoleum is private. The only way they can move a body is if the plot is not fully paid for, or some construction company pays for the relocation of graves in an area where they want to build.
It looked like they had some structural damage and leaking in this particular mausoleum, which is the company’s responsibility to repair and addressing a timely fashion. It would appear that they let this one go too far, and families began moving their dead to a different facility. There are likely some lawsuits regarding this situation, particularly around the vaults with rust stains on the marble from the leaks, and the unpleasant smell in the basement. No one wants to visit a relative under those conditions, and that is not what they paid for as a final resting place. It would be interesting to know the whole story on this place.🖤🇨🇦
thanx for the tour - I've never visited a mausoleum before and this one was beautiful - all the attention to detail - its a shame it can't be preserved - but actually thats what you did - you preserved it before it got completely ruined over time! ♥
Jazzy Babe ovbj
If you smell odour you are smelling death. There is leakage and or the graves are not being maintaned. There is suppose to be a cooling air control system in place in a mosoleaum so this doesnt happen. If the air system is not working you will have odour. This is unbelievable. These plots were paid for. How can this happen? This should be illegal.
Thanks for showing the video. Wish you could find out some details about it and do another video.
What an absolutely beautiful, peaceful place for interment. From the marble everywhere to the staircases to the beautiful gates to the incredible stained glass windows not to mention the gorgeous statues. How can this place possibly be abandoned! I really hope that someone takes over and remedies this sad situation. Good explore RnK.
Thank you for having respect for the dead!! It's a shame that their places of eternal rest are no longer being taking care of. Stay safe and thanks for another great explore:)
Rob,What an awesome find! You have such unique explores!! From abandoned hotels,buildings homes,Hotels etc.now a Mausoleum...you bring us to those unique locations!!! Nice job!!
I love this channel but please stop mislabeling locations as abandoned. This location is not and has never been abandoned. It's a working cemetery that fell into disrepair due to neglectful owners. It was sold and is currently being maintained and improved. Cemeteries often run on shoestring budgets because once a plot is sold there is no more money to be earned. Perpetual care does not mean eternal care. In most cases, it just means care in the years that a cemetery is active and after active years as long as funds remain. It's important to continue to make donations to the cemeteries you are using rather than paying for a plot and being done so that things like this do not happen.
ABANDONED is a KEY word! When people(like me) want to see some abandoned places I just type it into the search and all the ABANDONED places pop up! It is a You Tube key word, plus if nobody is taking care of a place it is Abandoned I don't think many family members visit the place either!
I know what you mean. I think of abandoned as totally forgotten about. But the definition is deserted and/or cast off, so Linda is not wrong, Thrice, but your word usage is.
If its fallen into disrepair due to neglectful owners then that is the definition of abandoned (legally). This cemetery is well known, and the state literally labeled it as abandoned and nearly prosecuted the owners until a deal was made to force them into selling it.
Why would anyone want to buy a Cemetery? Especially a huge marble building, housing corpses in caskets. Obviously there's no money to be made. It is upsetting to know these resting places aren't watched over and or protected. Like someone said previously, that people don't even want to take care of you alive, so why would We expect them to when we're dead. Good question. Sad!
@@BrendaFayRegister Sad is only doing things for monetary gain, is that how you think? Do you realize the hypocrisy in your statement. You're criticizing people for acting in a way you agree with. You say why would people do this there's no money to be made. Not everybody needs to paid to be caring sad is not realizing you are one of those that does. The other oddity is saying how it's not taken care of, maybe the cemetery outside the mausoleum is in good shape.
WOW!! An old Moller Pipe organ in there. I'd love to have it working and just sit and play it for like 10 minutes. This is a shame that it is so abandoned as it is. Seems like no respect for the loved ones in there.
I was Jose California's video of this a couple of months ago. Unfortunately it looks like it has deteriorated more since he was there. The new owners may have had to suspend renovations and repairs because there may have been more damage than they knew about when they purchased it. There is no telling how extensive the roof leaks are and that may have caused a lot of hidden damage. That may be the reason for the foul smell on the bottom level. I really hope it can be fully repaired. It truly is a magnificent mausoleum like none I have ever seen. Very well done and respectful.
That one place where all the flowers are at, they look new to me, they even have statues cover in plastic. I think family or someone still visits that section n bring flowers to it..
It would seem only rational to me that the state would step in to keep the place open and secure. Nobody should have to worry about their deceased loved ones. Especially when they went all out on placing them in such a nice place. Blows my mind.
Some beautiful architecture in that place, it looks regal and the stain glass is Awesome and a thing of beauty ! Thanks for this vid man it's a truly beautiful building. Glad to see your subs rising RnK you deserve it fella stay safe and god bless.
This was heart-wrenching. I feel so badly for the relatives of those interred here. There is no excuse for the neglect of this sacred place.
I am always impressed by the respect you show at the places your explore. God bless every soul in this mausoleum.
From what I can gather there are quite a few Masonic cemeteries that have become abandoned or neglected. May be due to lack of membership not sure. Such a beautiful place and by the looks of the dates it has been there a while. Great explore, loved the stained glass. Keep it up RNK.
Abandoned ? There is electricity unless it's solar
Sad to see the disrepair. There were some pretty old dates on some of those plaques.When we place our loved ones in places like that it's impossible to comprehend the eternity of death. Forever is truly subjective. Like the stained glass shots. Great job Robb.
There's gotta be a legal type of story to why they got left behind. So sad, but beautiful architectural design. Those stain glass windows are gorgeous !!! Another great one 👊
Bro! This was done so tasteful and those stained glass windows were gorgeous 👊
Paisley Vixen thanks you homegirl 👊🏻❤️
Something about a Mausoleum Creeps me out. Probably because of Passed Souls
The checkered black and white flooring is a major illuminate,
freemason symbol. I love the stained glass too. Everyone really
appreciates your respect for not only this place, but for all the
places you investigate. Great job...5*****'s!
Wow, what a awesome building, Robb!! Love the styling, the architect and the use of marble stone. Great respect to the deceased too. I hope it does get restored. Anyway, great video, Robb... Take care.....
I cannot believe you found this place. What !?! Absolutely beautiful and devastating at the same time. Bravo! 👏
First off much respect to you for showing respect to those families who's loved ones are still there . Second that place was beautiful at one it must have been one of the best places to place a loved one . Last that place gave me a phantasm feel.
So sad to see the disrepair. Thank you for being so respectful.
Looks like a Catholic Mausoleum , but doesn't really appear to be "abandoned" . Maybe the upkeep has been compromised due to funds. Could be they had to stop because they need more money and plan to continue at some point once it is raised. Sometimes the families are asked to chip in and help. There are still people coming there and bringing flowers and the lights are still working. Families are still visiting their loved ones remains. They may not be staying long to pray and meditate as they did once, but times have changed. The furniture does seem unused for some time. According to the size and architecture they may have even held the "services" there for the deceased . Very beautiful mausoleum and I am happy to see there is no vandalism. Hopefully it will remain untouched by vandals and someone will continue to look after it and the remains of the dearly departed.
No, not a Catholic mausoleum
I saw some Jewish names so no it is not a Catholic Mausoleum.
It is NOT a Catholic mausoleum The windows would give that away. They are not Catholic windows
Plus it is not abandoned
I noticed masonic square compasses I suspect lots of free masons are entered there,
Vandals better not find this place.
This is a beautiful place. The stained glass
Is gorgeous. Thanks for your videos. (-;
If I had family here I'd file complaint and Sue his ass for filming this .this no joke he's a idiot.😠
Yes, it is beautiful for the living. What do the dead care?
Neita James why would you sue?
Let's simply not raise any more humans (kids) to become vandals.
Great vid, your attention to detail and composition is so fine. A lot of Heart, Hard Work, Time and Thought goes into Rnk explores and it shows. It is all done to share with 'Us' Much Appreciated!! Thank you RnK!!
Beautiful place, I love the way you don’t video so fast as many do, and you took the time to share the history of such a wonderful place, much respect for your work 🙌
WOW the glass work is awesome, you can tell that it was a very very expensive place!
This place is NOT ABANDONED! It is still open, there are STILL people coming to visit their relatives here. The lights are on & there's fresh flowers placed on some of the graves as you scanned by them, so people are still, currently coming here, that's why it's open. I am happy & proud to see you continuously respected the dead, you did great! Thank you for sharing!!!
Glad I'm not only one who saw this something wrong with this guy it's wrong what he's doing
I just pray no one vandalizes it. The stain glass is stunning and the architecture is gorgeous. What a tragedy that will just fall apart. God willing someone new will take over the upkeep. Can you imagine if you had a loved one there and the place was destroyed? I'm glad you filmed this though. It's a beautiful part of history.
Heart breaking for the families. God Bless you for such a respectful tour. Bless you and all the families 🙏🏻
Great find! I love stained glass windows. What an interesting building. 💖😊🙌✌🖖💖
I'm a simple soul. I see RNK all day and I click.....
This is yet another classic example that Mausoleums simply don't work. A tomb in the more prestigious areas of a mausoleum nearest to priceless works of art and near the stained glass windows sold for as much as $100k, and the costs for the semi-private family tombs are rumored to be in the $200k region. Yet the law that states that a minimum of 5% of the sale price must be set aside for 'perpetual endowment' of the mausoleum, meaning that 5% must be set aside and never profited from, used only for the maintenance of the building, has proved to be ineffectual. But with the hundreds of mausoleums all over the US that are falling apart and are no longer financially solvent, and, being in the 100 year old range in age, are about to come tumbling down. Particularly when the original builder/owners have passed away and bequeathed it to heirs who have absolutely no interest in owning a mausoleum! They spend the money and in a short time old buildings require a lot of maintenance! Heck, unless you're talking about building the Notre Dame or a Royal Palace or the White House or something ... buildings WILL fall into disrepair quite quickly! So placing dead bodies into the walls of buildings that we KNOW by sheer logic that will only last in good condition for around 100 years IS NOT A GOOD IDEA! Besides, when people are raping this planet for up to a hundred years during their own lifetime themselves, I really think it's their DUTY to give something back to the planet when they no longer require their body! The LEAST they can do is commit their earthly remains to the ground in an unembalmed state, and to be wrapped simply in a shroud or environmentally friendly container - like ... a rigid, biodegradable type of cardboard box that canñ break down easily. It's a far better option than all these fancy metal coffins!!! WHY are people so afraid of decomposition when THEY ARE DEAD????? Where to put all these millions of embalmed bodies each and every year has become a real problem .. the formaldehyde in embalming fluid is a known toxic carcinogen and a billion gallons of it is leaching out of dead bodies and into the soil and the water table each and every year, whilst grave liners, and concrete vaults, and ridiculous metal caskets and even embalming - are all designed to protect your deceased loved ones ... BUT FROM WHAT???. Mausoleums obviously don't work, and embalmed bodies are destroying our environment ... and I believe that a return to the old ways of burial and the way things used to be done before embalming gained popularity with the development of the modern funeral industry is well overdue. In many countries overcrowded cemeteries are such a huge problem that graves are only rented for 4-5 years! (4 years only in Guatemala! 5 years in the Philippines and many others!) In countries like Germany they are currently buried for up to 20 years, which has recently been reduced from 25 years due to the increasing demands for burial spaces! However, I am of the understanding that you can choose to pay (large sums of money, of course!) to keep your loved ones buried in all of these countries, but most choose to spend that money on the living,particularly in poorer countries like Guatemala and Philippines where for those who can't afford ongoing cemetery fees it is best to say your final goodbyes at the original burial and funeral, because to see your loved one's bones being dug up or handed to you in a plastic bag after only 5 years when bits of decomposed flesh are still clinging to them is truly most unpleasant ... and unfortunately I witnessed many of these 'grave evictions' during my years in that beautiful but poverty stricken country. When these bodies are evicted for non payment of further fees the bones can be collected by the family for a small fee but even this is too much money which is best spent on the living. So they go to an ossuary (communal pile of bones). In some countries like Greece they go to the charnel house (where the bones are incinerated), and so burial places are used and re-used over and over and over again. In yet other cultures the exhumation of a family plot takes place every time a new body has to be buried! The family must dig out the last burial which is placed into a coffin liner and then these bundles of the remains of each previous burial is returned to the grave along with the newest person to be buried. But no matter how 'normal' it may be for these culture to exhume their loved ones, the process of actually doing it, and being confronted with the remains of mum, or dad, grandma, grandpa - or of a small child - it never gets easier. They are gruesome sights and smells, and I hope to never see another exhumation or grave eviction. And that's the problem about to overwhelm America as hundreds of these mausoleums reach an age where maintaining the buildings is no longer financially viable. It's not right to disturb their supposed 'eternal peace', but they all have to be buried after all!!
@Lars-Eric Magnusson
Oh, it's MUCH worse in places like Guatemala and the Philippines where there's just rows and rows of cheaply poured concrete outdoor mausoleums stacked 10 graves high ... and when their 4/5 yrs are up they just pull their coffins out of the wall and smash up the coffin while the bodies get shoved in a bag, even though they're still decomposing. Children who live in the cemeteries then play with the bones and and spread them all over the place too, and meanwhile workers have to evict non payers from their graves ... it's MUCH worse than being in a lovely marble lined building!
I'm to be cremated its really the only sanitary way to dispose of a dead body and put ashes in the ground . I hated to think of being in a box for decades only to pollute the world for other generations to come ..
@Lars-Eric Magnusson
Alkaline Hydrolysis is now available in my country, not far from where I live. It's actually just water, and achieves the exact same product as cremation - known as aquamation - but without the huge gas bill and environmentally unfriendly costs of cremation. I think it's the way of the future for its portability (all that's needed once you have the machine is water and a power point), and it only takes 45 minutes. And no grave evictions, no children playing with your bones. But once any of these modern methods of disposal takes place, including cremation, your ashes or cremains no longer contain ANY fertilizer for plants. Nothing at all. In fact, they'll probably kill a rose bush, not fertilise it!!
Elizabeth Whiteoak this is perfectly explained! Thank you for posting. I'm being cremated, decided that years ago.
They do that in France as well, we have a Friend who is French, and she told us the story of how she was informed by the Cemetery where her Father was buried in France of coarse, that his 10 years was up and she had to come get his body, well by this time she was living in the US and had to go back to France and get her Fathers body back, she said she remembered crying a lot, she was reliving his funeral all over again, and she was the only one left alive in her family to take on this task, and she mentioned if she was not there to carry this out the state then disposes of the body by there means, needless to say she did not have the money to put him anywhere else and just had him cremated, but I agree there will become an issue in this country where to bury your loved one, I believe they will go back to the old ways and if you own property you will be able to bury your loved one on your own land, or implement mandatory cremation dependent on the Geographic area of the Country, like the east coast for instances I can attest that on LI NY they are running out of land to bury the dead, it's an Island not much land, even the VA Cemeteries are running out of land, so yes I can see all this coming to be, and it's true it is not financially feasible, the coasts to up keep these places is astronomical and eventually the money stops coming in, then what? well then we have urban explorers taping more abandoned cemeteries and Mausoleums.
It would be very expensive to actually close this building completely. The bodies cannot stay unattended so the owners of the business would be responsible to move the remains to a new location. Some of the crypts are empty most likely because the family were seeing what was happening & chose to put their family member somewhere else. Cremation is my choice...
How sad! 😮 An abandoned mausoleum 😔 ... The interior is so rich. Truly sad it's not maintained for those who were buried there. Creepy basement for sure. Well done cinematography my friend.
it's not abandon the new owners are fixing it
Such a beautiful and creepy building, thanks for sharing Rob! ....RnK All Day.... 👊✌
Wow I am in awe with this place! This place is absolutely gorgeous! I would find myself lost for hours touring this place just reading all the names and years!!! It's so creepy knowing there are tons of bodies still within those walls! Great video!
Beautiful video and you were so respectful, as always! I'm a big fan of your adventures. Thank you sharing with us!
Mausoleum's are fascinating places but i've never understood why they exist. I highly doubt ANY of them will still be standing after thousands and thousands of years. Thanks for the video!
There are areas that are so Rocky it prevents you from just digging a single grave. Above-ground is the only way to go in certain areas.
I have always found them to be highly disturbing. People stacked up and right next to each other. I know american use embalming but still gives me the creeps.
@Daniel Appleton Especially over in the Northeast could cost you $50,000 to put in a swimming pool because of the rocks.
@Daniel Appleton All I know is it's a wonder the Liberals haven't stop cremation's. With all the ashes thrown to the sea, they might say we could be changing the environment. I've always said ain't none of us getting out of here alive.
@@HellNoMoreBiden Dont you mean stopped by conservatives becssue its unchristian?
Robb, you really out did it this time. That mausoleum was absolutely beautiful. I can't believe they abandoned that place.The stained glass windows were beautiful
Along with the statues and vases.I loved the staircase. I wonder what's going to happen to it ? Great video !
As always, a fascinating video. What a staggering place - the scale and the pure workmanship and extravagance which is sad to see falling apart in places. Top work again, love your videos which are definitely the best exploration ones on TH-cam
That stained glass is worth a fortune. Such exquisite craftsmanship, it's beautiful.
I love the detail in the building... the stained glass was beautiful.. but the bodies left behind is creepy af😖.. have a great day rob✌🏻
It was astonishing to see a mausoleum as well appointed and occupied as this in such a state of disrepair. I’m thinking that they cannot legally cut the power as long as there are remains still in there. The gates and fixtures are stunning, and the statuary and stained glass are top quality, clearly something has gone wrong with the structure to result in its being abandoned like this. I suspect they can’t remove any of the decor either, as people clearly paid a lot to house their loved ones there. I noticed a Masonic wing as well, one is forced to wonder when this was built...as the majority of its spaces are or were filled. You did a very respectful job of showing this to us with your usual skill. I bet Kristy would have loved to have been with you on this one. Thanks for the tour, and you stay safe out there.🖤🇨🇦
Tamarra James thank you, Kristy was upset about this one. She could have done a lot better than me with the pics✌🏻❤️
RnK All Day I had a picture of her in my head framing that perfect shot...but you did a really nice job of showing the various areas and details. The architecture is amazing there, it just seems so odd for such a place not to be up-kept properly. It is rather a huge mausoleum and made with the best of materials...painted and fired stained glass is really top end. Your choice of music was also perfect for this one. The rust stained vault fronts in the basement were rather unsettling I must say. 🖤🇨🇦
I like your style,not much talking while walking through areas,your detailed with info of locations,but you know when to talk and when not to,some people just dont know how to stop and shut up,keep up the great work,and stay safe
Really enjoyed this one, but sad as all those people were left behind. You are doing wonderful. Seems like you always nail the music. So glad I was able to watch them on my tv. ✌💜
The reason why the basement smells so bad is that there is bad draining from the tombs leading the oozing liquids from your decomposing body to escape the casket and stay there causing the foul odor.
There is a TH-camr, ask a mortician, and she goes over how are mortuary works if anyone one else was interested in how the smell comes about.
@@CrystalKat You mean Caitlin? I enjoy her videos. 😀
The stained glass windows are beautiful. The church I grew up in had one at the alter similar to the one of Jesus praying in the garden.
Crystal Kat yes! Caitlin Doughty (ask a mortician) is a great resource. She has 3 books out that you can read as well as her channel and website (order of the good death)
This video has urned its place in my top 5 favorites 😁
Oh..I GET IT! hahaha
@@adinodoor Thanks lady's and gents! I'll be here all night...
What a beautiful place, I really hope someone steps in to save this building before its too late. That bad smell is probably from one of the crypts breaching which is normally caused by a build up of gases inside the coffin/casket which can then rupture the crypt leaking bodily fluids out into the environment. Great video sir and very respectful.
How can a mausoleum this huge be abandoned🤔
It's simply gorgeous.
Crying out for a paranormal investigation. Great find and vid mate!!
Must be some families must go to vist. The flowers even through fake look really nice and fresh. The private one with all the flowers looks like a current burial. Awesome to see thanks for sharing.
thank you for been respectful of the thumbs where there are still people there may god bless you and keep you safe, your mama should be around of you she raised a respectful man.
This is really a different explore. The stained glass is really beautiful. Lots of work put into that. The inside at mausoleum is just gorgeous. Hopefully new owners will restore everything. Have a great weekend.
There is no such thing as an 'abandoned' mausoleum, it's just a grave, and those people should be left alone.
I agree this guy keep doing this it seems to amuse him. These are someone's loved ones I saw fresh flowers. I deleted this many times he keep coming back. There better not be any more sent to me or I'm filling harrasement.

Right around the 10 minute mark, the leak you are seeing could be corpse sludge. A vent or drain was likely damaged if it was neglected and the body didn't dehydrate like it should have throughout time.
Interesting...I love getting knowledge about these places..
I agree..without proper drainage and ventilation a mausoleum can become a gross affair and a health hazard as well.
Don't u think the smell would b intolerable? Does that not make sense? No? Prob not embalmed either, huh?
@@EMMMDs even embalmed a body putrifis...just at a slower rate and yes it smells bad
Exactly.
Wow, thank you for your time and for for sharing this with everyone. 👍
Just found your channel and subbed. Thanks for the respect and care you showed to this hauntingly beautiful space.
It's a real shame to see this deterioration and lack of care. I know these are extremely expensive to own spots in and the styling and craftsmanship are stunning. I hope something is done with it before it falls further into disrepair. Amazing location and explore!
i agree but from what i heard its in the hands of new owners who are fixing it up due to old owners not having enough money to run it and it was not cared for they new owners should have looked for the families of the people and moved the bodies the smell he is referring to is decomp the ventilation and power must have been turned off
Man you find some of the best places!!
Who was that? Oh yeah, That Nate Guy on TH-cam!
It’s a gorgeous place to be. I’m glad new owners have taken over.. someone put a lot of money into that bldg. I love wood wrought iron and stained glass. Just beautiful.
i like the way americans are so patriotic flying your flags.How can they abandon
such a beautiful building doesn't make sense.you are so lucky to explore such
amazing places.
Thanks for the great eerie explore! That said, what a waste. I believe that upon death our bodies should return to the earth. Looking at that opulent mausoleum, why waste all those expensive, precious materials on dead bodies? Also, some of the drip marks on the name plaques may be from “casket burp”. I don’t think I need to explain what that is.
What a beautiful, tragic place. I hope it can be saved. It seems like there needs to be some kind of protocol for a situation like this, due to all the human remains still there. Great exploration, as always!
Such beautiful have been left behind, the glass, the statues - I hope one can continue to salvage this beautiful place.
This place is amazing. One of my favorite on you tube. Thanks RnK All Day
What a shame Family members should be pissed at the condition of this place! "Respect" thanks RNK
Its when the living have better things to invest their time and hard earned money into. Just who is all that opulence and art meant for? Its all such a misguided waste . Stay tuned boys and girls! Theres about to be some of the most gru some disturbing satanic horrors revealed in the near future that will quite likely end above ground internment in the USA forever. Imagine your worse possible nightmares and youll be about halfway there. And just when you thought humans couldnt stoop any lower.
I have seen so many Mausoleum fall into decay here on TH-cam. Even the upper end Mausoleum in their heyday eventually fall apart. Some new Mausoleum even use "GLASS" cover and not stone. And sure enough they get broken into ! If President Grants tomb in New York City can fall into disrepair and millions had to be spent to restore his Mausoleum. What chance does a joe public have that his tomb will forever be taken care of ? Nope no Mausoleum for me !
Beautiful I never saw a mausoleum that look like that, I hope they fix it soon, hugs for bringing it to us to see the beauty
So cool and kinda heartbreaking for some reasons. Hopefully this place will be restored and maintained so people with the loved ones entombed there could still visit them. I love the statues and stained glass. Great video, Robb!
Find a Grave says there are 9 famous people in this cemetery, including an actor who was on Wonder Woman (my favorite). It also states that the entire cemetery is run down & is on the endangered historic sites & the mausoleum (in 2014) is to be locked with only relatives able to get the key from the groundskeeper. Technically, it is not abandoned, it is just not being taken care of & it should be locked with all that marble, iron, etc, to prevent people from vandalizing/stealing. If the families arent suing, I would be very surprised.
I grew up in a cemetery, my dad was caretaker, digger, memorial designer/maker & setter in a cemetery, we lived in the apartment over the showroom. I was always out there with him in the backhoe & am quite comfortable in cemeteries. I am also a graver, meaning I go to cemeteries, photograph & document them. If any of those crypts that are unsealed contain a 'leaking' coffin, fluids will seep out & smell. Im not sure if that is what you was smelling but it could be that & you really shouldnt be around it if that is indeed what it is.
...and over 600 veterans are buried there, some dating back to the Revolutionary War
Yes, medical person here. Billions of gases build up& bodies explode inside sometimes the casket will break apart, especially if it made of wood. Other metals can leak or the lid pop up from the gaseous pressures. You should be wearing a respirator mask& gloves. Ty this was awesome; u were most respectful. Sure hope it gets restored
Really beautiful....what a shame. Thanks, guys.
I just want to say thank you for not yelling and hopping around in the beginning of your videos. It’s appreciated.
I don't think one can truly abandon a place like this... It's beautiful for sure....lets hope it stays that way!🙏🏻🕊😎
Nice job rnk my favorite part was the stained windows hopefully they don't close down any more of them looking forward to the next Explorer
Not abandoned. Probably in transition. 👍often when a building is in question people do panic who own the graves (family), and secure something more certain. My family owns plots , if the cemetery goes belly up we as well as all the others could leave our loved ones in their resting places as we own the property. As times change and the family dynamics differ with culture less and less people honor their dead and have them cremated. Cremation although cheap leaves no legacy for a family. The decline of profit and maintenance costs although a great opportunity for philanthropy, leaves this type of space redundant. Yes, beautiful. I’ve seen them totally Dilapidated with some people’s loved ones still there. Cities often step forward and shoulder the costs of restoration or relocation. So sad ☹️
Eh, you may want to look into that assumption that you actually own the plot of land... Maybe in a rural area it's pretty safe, but it takes minimal legal maneuvers to "evict" remains when the location attracts commercial real estate investors.
Cremation doesn't mean the ashes have to be scattered. They can be buried in an urn in the ground, or interned in a kind of mausoleum known as a columbarium.
In fact, I always thought American-style mausoleums held cremated remains behind the walls, not full bodies.
Hauntingly beautiful and sad. I feel you did this one with a lot of respect and class.
