This Place is now gone! Someone went by and sent me a picture. It is destroyed
Abandoned TattooTonyAlton Exploring I
Abandoned TattooTonyAlton Exploring so lucky you got there before it was demolished
Abandoned TattooTonyAlton Exploring truly horrifying, and so sad to hear.
Abandoned TattooTonyAlton Exploring a tragedy of epic proportions. I'm sure had they been asked, most St. Louis citizens would gladly have paid a few additional tax dollars to save this wonderful historic building. congratulations St Louis. your town now looks just like all the other towns in dollar general's new America.
Abandoned TattooTonyAlton Exploring What a shame not to have saved the building. The thing that was shown I think it was where people would have prayed. It would have been next to the coffen.
My dad worked there 50 years as the accountant/funeral director, sat at that front office desk. Fascinating video. So many memories.
I used to work in that building in the late 80s, washing limousines and funeral coaches. Kriegshauser South on Kingshighway had an unheated garage so in cold weather I had to run the cars to Southern to wash them. Terrible shame. Used to be a canopy on the north side of the building by the side entrance till a UHaul truck knocked it down in the 80s and they never replaced it. Lots of history there.
Hi David, i agree with you, this building has history and it needs a make over! All the walls need replastering, new floors, furniture, xx
Good video,looking forward to watching part 2,thanks again Tony.
At. 16:47. That's where people would have prayed. Was probably in front of a casket. I wonder how many broken hearted people prayed for their dead loved ones there.
+Ruth Shelton yes. Thats right
Explore Abandoned Places With TattooTonyAlton. I guess one of the only things we can count on is 'change'. I love your videos-be safe! If I ever win the lawsuit against my apt manager then I can help you abit $ wise.
Maybe we could make accupple of vids together! I'm an Army Vet of 14 yrs & have two 3rd degree black belts. Plus I'm a ghost magnet. When can will send you some of my ghost pics.
It's 3 :45 & I have 6 hrs of church tomarrow at the Salvation Army. I help out with the kids.
Great explore! Beautiful woodwork and plaster details. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks for taking us along on your explores!
I love seeing these old places from back then. As always enjoyed it.
New subscriber here. Great video! What a shame! As far as your voice, I found it very soothing, and comforting. Some of the urbex videos, they are loud, unpleasant, etc.
Great video. I love places like this one
Awesome ty .its very sad 😢
Watching this video was heartbreaking 😢 Not from the area, but thank you for getting pictures before it was gone .
+Theresa Schrader yw
It would have been a majestic place in it's heyday. Fabulous video though, looking forward to Part 2. I would have liked to see the furthest part of the chapel where the Casket would have been placed. But a wonder video indeed, I was completely captivated. Hank from Australia
Tony, As someone who built windows and doors like the ones that are in this building, the biggest waste is to see these beautiful windows and doors just destroyed. To have a salvage company come in and save all this wonderful wood work and reuse it is what should be done. Not just the windows and doors but the corbels and ceiling beams as well. SO SAD!!
+Dave Bruce yes it is. The building is smashed the chapel is gone it's certainly going to be gone this week
Please do your videos more often with the type of microphone you use now!!! I absolutely love it!
Love it, excellent job! My dad told me when I was in my teen's "You're going to be doin some dumb shit, I was young once too, whatever you do, or get involved with don't ever desecrate a church, or cemetery " I guess funeral home's, would fall into this category too... you looked at a short white pillar/podium type thing, that had what look's like a white plastic chain, laying on top of it. at the base of that is a small gold colored cross, it's long gone now... I wonder what happened to the little girl 👻 , that could be seen in the window up stair's, after this Funeral Home was razed?
Nostalgic yet bittersweet...good video.
+April Tvenstrup thanks for watching
Very well done even to the subdued music. It was a pleasure to listen to his narrative..
very sad. you did exceptional video on this place and i could feel the sadness of the place. ..
Very nice.
So glad you captured this.
The vandals and taggers.😔
You are right about that building being so beautiful ,not going to see that same style for a long time
That place is amazing!!! There is SOOOoooooo much there that needs to be rescued. Those ceiling beams, for example, are absolutely beautiful!!! The stained glass windows!! The doors!!! Where do I stop???
This building is destroyed. Someone sent me a pic of it. Anything that wasn't saved is now gone
That's really sad!!!
At 16:48- it's a kneeler -sp-? that is placed next to the casket, so one can kneel & say a prayer. I've sadly seen & used these a lot in my lifetime. Great find
+Ellicott City awesome.. It kinda looked made for kneeling.. I was confused by the higher part... thanks
Abandoned TattooTonyAlton Exploring - yea, you kinda, sorta "lean" on it & have your hands folded in prayer. I'm fairly short so it's always a bit high for me but it works!
I've seen this one for so long and never got to go in. Good video
+Urbex St. Louis why not?..
Awesome work
+Just call me Ray Ray!! The Explorer thanks
I agree with you! Why don't they do this funeral home up and save it from being vandalised, if i had the money i would buy it and do it up and provide affordable funerals for those family's who have a low income!
Nice video :)
+Michael Coffey thanks
Great explore. Shame to see such a place of historical significance being demolished for something petty, we all see this a lot. At least you got in there before it was gone, this place should of been placed on the historical registry, not destroyed.
+Einherjar agreed
Einherjar well said. my thoughts precisely.
TY, glad you agree. I've seen some very old and very significant places get demolished for a 7-11 or something stupid.
Einherjar I agree too.
Einherjar Or buildings are torn down for parking lots. That almost happened to the Molly Brown house, luckily it was saved just before it was to be torn down.
My father was a union carpenter in Chicago in the 60's&70's and used to bring me to see some of the older buildings before they would get demolished. We are destroying American history on a daily basis! Thank you for showing people these buildings before they are gone!
A very fitting title for your video. As a paranormal investigator, I am aware of the many things that imprint themselves on these buildings, almost as if the building itself was an extension of the people who were once there. Funeral Homes especially I find store that energy and from time to time, it releases and the lucky might capture it when it happens. All the emotions and thoughts and feelings that came through that building were imprinted on the bricks and mortar and the very foundation. Nobody passed through that building without leaving some part of themselves in it and those who study the paranormal know exactly what I am talking about. Vandals just look at these places as targets for their ill advised damage. They have no thoughts as to the history of the site, no thoughts as to who or what might be watching them as they go about their destruction. But little do they realize that those who have transcended the physical reality have their own ways of exacting judgement on those who destroy without any reverence or thought and it does happen more than you would think. I can only hope that those who saw fit to destroy this building and mar it without thought were visited by these souls and taught the error of their ways.
The fist price of furniture was a kneeling bench, they kept it around where you light the candle and say a prayer.
Sure is, and I'm surprised it's still in decent shape, especially with all the water damage around it.
+JESSICA Shea thanks for the info
It is a kneeling bench, but it's actually to kneel and pray for the deceased at the casket. I've been to a few unfortunate funerals, and have definitely gotten flashbacks from this.
Explore Abandoned Places With TattooTonyAlton ppp
yes... its a kneeling bench. Here in SE Louisiana they are placed directly before the coffin. Mourners pray while they get a final moment with the deceased.
The wood work on the ceiling @ 2:10 awesome. Sad that all things come to an end!
I really like your videos and comments!! This was a Really Beautiful building at one time! I am like you, in that I would have Really loved to see it before so much decay set in. The woodwork, arched windows, the beautiful woodwork on the ceiling, etc. was wonderful to see. I am like you in that I would have wanted to see the front of the chapel without the damaging graffiti! Thank you for your great camera work!!
nice mate
1st :) xx This has to be your best work Tony, well done xx
Sue Girling I'll let you get this one lol
Thanks deshae, awesome name by the way x
Sue Girling thanks it's my middle name my first name is rhaheim
Cool names, mines boring lol. x
Sue Girling lol so do you have twitter?
This was awesome explore!! Hate to see all the freaking graffiti,but still plenty of cool stuff,mostly because you don't normally get to see the full building when it's in use.nice job.cant wait for part 2.
Such a shame to destroy historic buildings like that. Plz no haters- if we all gave Tony $1 or even just 50c, he could do many things which we would benefit from or just a petrol vooucher.! I know alot of you ate doing it tough atm (me included atm) but a ollar bill can be postef.Cheers to fellow subscribers!
The video is a historical record.
What a great video and explore. I can't get pass the great architecture and interior.just beautiful.
Decay of Alberta it was magnificent. i take it there is no historical society in St. Louis. I pray to God an architectural salvage firm was called before this piece of art was knocked down. what? no architectural salvage in St. Louis? entrepreneurs, there's a business for you.
owlpower me there might be some kind of Society like that. The The deconstruction of the building was stopped. In st. Louis, there might be hundreds of building that have a historic value. The problem is protecting them. In Alberta, the town would keep of building up as a historic site. I've explored s couple.
Decay of Alberta according to Tony (see comments), the building has been demolished. costs a lot to preserve them, but Savannah, Georgia saves a handful of antibellum homes each year. there just has to be a political, social, cultural will. the answer is for the city not to allow structures to be neglected in the first place. can't care for it? by law, it must be privately sold within 24 months, or donated to the city for auction.
owlpower me i didn't know that law about the city's. Thank you for informing me. I just watch the second video this morning. In Alberta, it depends on the town. In Hinescreek, ab. I live outside of it. They saved the granary mill from being demolished. A farmer bought it. In Fairview, ab they took theirs down. The small town try to preserve the old historic buildings. But like the church I filmed. They just don't have the money. It seems that you have to like the history of the building to preserve it.
Decay of Alberta "They" have the money, it's just going into the wrong "pockets". Sad.
It's sad seeing buildings like this rot away
At 16:52, those benches are "Kneelers." People can come up to an occupied casket & pray for the dead, or visit with the dead, & kneel there & mourn for the dead friend, family member, etc.
One kneels on the bottom cushion, & leans one's elbows on the upper cushion.
Some people use kneelers at their wedding, in a religious wedding ceremony, up close to the altar or inner sanctum of a chapel. Catholic ceremonies use them alot.
Sometimes they are at a chapel railing where votive/prayer candles can be lit, & someone (usually catholics) will ask for something as they kneel there after having lit one of the candles, & depositing a coin or two for the cost of the candle(s).
It has been my observation over the years that there are two kinds of people, those that create, and those that destroy. They do not understand each other.
Its interesting places you expect paranormal activity (well the kind you see) and the places you actually do our quite different. This place is quiet so far at 11:08 from the left side of the screen you will see a little whisp of white smoke? its faint but its not dust definitely not a bug- it stops looks at Tony and moves on, size doesn't matter in the spirit world (imo) some of the most powerful spirits that people encounter are similar floating snake/worm like mists, yet these can and do change form, actually most of what we see is a mirage I think anyway.
The item you thought was a bench or stand to put a casket on is actually where you kneel and pray
All that said, the land will still be there even after the last remnants of the building itself are gone. Perhaps there will be some residual energy left on the property itself. One could hope that the positive energies imprinted there will remain and make anything that is built there retain the energy of all the good that was experienced there in the past. If the building could not be preserved, at least its memory and the energy it contained can remain for all who look at that space with fond remembrance as having some importance in their lives.
This is so heartbreaking. My father's family was/is from St. Louis. My grandmother quite likely had her funeral at this place in 1963. This whole area has been destroyed. They lived on Prairie, which is one or two streets from Grand Blvd in a duplex, one on top where my grandmother and aunt lived and one on the bottom where my uncle and his wife lived. Some of the best memories of my young years were visits to that house. Everyone on the street knew everyone else. There was a little grocery mart down on the corner. It was just a wonderful place. Now it is a ghetto. The actual house where they lived has been burned down. So, so sad that these wonderful places are gone.
+Deanna Young grand prairie prairie neighborhood
my good friends who lost his life in service to our country had his funeral at the southern funeral home it was beautiful its really sad now looks like hell
+Donald Mcguire it's no longer there
that thing that looks like a bench is what you kneel on next to the casket
The bench looking thing is a kneeler. It was placed in front of the casket so people could kneel and pray. Commonly used for those of the catholic and protestant faiths.
It's called a kneeler. Most catholic funerals place them at the casket
damn at 20:50 thats a legit graff work sad its gone since they tore the place down.
It look like it was beautiful in the day -So bad that the feature parts aren't able to be recycled -salvaged or reused The windows are beautiful - the wood in the pews could be recycled repurposed - what do ppl have to do to make something heritage listed or doesnt the USA do that ? at 16.01 is that a person in the other room ?
Creepy.
Is this place still available? Can you get back in the place with all the pews?
this place is demolished.. it's an empty lot
about 450 on left side, theres a board leaning like on a chair or sumpn and the chair (or sumpn ) moved real quick. freaky stuff.
That is the kneeler put in front of the casket during a wake.
What a shame to see that beautiful building be distoryed! If those walls could have been able to talk-the story's that could be told.
Tony , I'm sure that was a prayer bench.
Tony, please include a link to PayPal in all your video descriptions, so we can easily send you some monetary support to help offset some of your expenditures.
it was probably a kneeling bench,most likely there was a church in the funeral home?
Why did you say it closed?
I own my funeral establishment and in my 59 years not once have I seen or heard ghost in my building. Why would a funeral home be haunted the cases I handle didn't die in the building. I'm the only one in the building right now with two bodies in the lab and one in a closed casket and I don't hear a thing.
The little stool is placed in front of the casket, for people to kneel on and pray.
people do not care about these historic places they vandalise ,and arson these historic buildings as for me i have great values i care about these places that is why im subbed to alot of URBEX like youTony i do care its a sin what is happening we are not dealing with normal people anymore they just want to destroy anything that is good very sad these psychos im with you tony thank you for vids i always make sure your vids are on my playlist called abandoned structures thank god for people like you Tony
+judah mario thanks man... I appreciate it.. thanks for the support
So sad.....................
Hammond Organ, looks like a T-200.
An old Hammond looks like a T series.
Where do all of these abandoned furneral homes come about itswild.
that thing that looks like bench is what you kneel on next to the casket.
+Mary Remmers yup
Thar place would have been an excellent building for an upscale restaurant.
+greyeaglem yes or a club of some sort
i believe that was a kneeler.
Abandoned TattoTonyAlton Exploring..Good job with the videos, Now I need I need to watch part 2..I have 2 sister-in-laws, or had one passed last yr., so young ..anyway u can really tell they are from Texas cause they string there words together and draw the words out for sooooo lonngg..U on the other hand say things and stop after abou,,, t 30 to 60 seconds and minutes later u add another word, and so on and so on...Where are u from????
virginia alvarez St. Louis area. Midwestern accent with a little bit of southern sound I guess is how I would describe. Midwesterners are all slightly different.
+virginia alvarez I also stop because sound is coming up in the video that I dont want to talk over and then I continue once it stops
a kneeling bench to pray
No that thing you asked about is a prayer bench. You kneel on the bottom cushioned area and put your arms over the top cushioned area. Mostly Catholics use that.
how do you know it's haunted
A lot of poor people in that state sense the auto plants closed down.
Between 15.00 & 15.04 there is a sound that plays has anyone herd it sounds like DIE or TIME ? 😳😳😳
APEX Stuart's Airsoft I heard it after you told me to listen 15.02 . There is another camera person in there.
On the right is a casket beir. Left is a kneeler. Beside the casket u kneel n pray. Make the sign of the cross etc. If ur christian.
Prayer
SAD
Why do these freaking adverts keep popping up!!
It is an ALTAR.
it's a praying bench .
Why doesnt anybody seem to have any respect for the dead anymore?
At 17:03 og this video is to knee on for Catholics so they can pray at the casket I'll let you know what that little stool is for people that who are Catholic to kneel on to pray I'm proud of the casket
BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.)extoring money from a funeral home. They're worse than the mafia.
neal to pray on that
thanks
@ 9:19 is a gigantic Freemason symbol
Orb at 6:03
