On today's episode, I'm taking you inside one of the first African-American-owned funeral homes in the South.
This establishment not only claims the title of one of the county's most timeworn funeral parlors but also holds the distinction of being the trailblazer in offering burial service to African Americans.
During an era when segregation loomed large across the South, this Funeral Home emerged as a beacon of hope for African Americans. In the 1920s and 1930s, the owners of this funeral home, both college-educated, ventured into the mortuary business. Their journey was more than a career choice; it was a rare opportunity for African American men to rise above the limited professional options imposed by segregation. They not only mastered the art of mortuary services but also advocated for education and dignity within their community.
In a society where segregation dictated one's profession, this funeral home stands as a symbol of achievement. It honors the courage of those who, armed with education and determination, carved out spaces of respect and success within a segregated society. This historic funeral home not only serves as the final resting place for many but also as a testament to the strides taken by African American entrepreneurs in shaping their destiny amidst adversity. Unfortunately, changes in the town's community and economic shifts lead to the closing of the funeral home. Now everything remains frozen time. So, let's step inside and see what we can dig up from a bygone era. - บันเทิง

The plastic looking circular object was most likely for flowers for the funerals, the "stone like" object is for the flowers to be stuck in. Love your videos
I just know all that stuff was because I worked for a funeral home in the preparation room the long thing laying on the table is a chocar and used the way you said
One thing you should consider in your walk-throughs is wearing latex gloves at a minimum and an N-95 mask, because you never know what you're inhaling, especially in some of the older and more advanced decayed locations.
OK sooo... routine embalming is a two stage process comprised of arterial and cavity embalming. During arterial fluid is injected into the body using the embalming machine. A metal injection tube is inserted into an artery (typically carotid) and attached to the embalming machine via tubing. At the same time, a metal drain tube is placed in a vein (typically jugular) to allow blood to flow out as fluid is pumped in. The embalming machine pumps fluid into the body, it does not suck. The force of the fluid being pushed in is what forces the blood out. The metal drain tube usually has a bit of tubing attached to direct the blood flow away from the body. There would also be fresh water running down the table at this point to keep everything moving to the sink drain.
During cavity embalming, a trocar (the long instrument seen at 6:32) is attached via tube to the hydro aspirator (around 6:47 look in the upper right of the sink- you'll see a metal tube attached to a faucet - that's the hydro aspirator. It uses water to create suction.) The trocar is then inserted into the body two inches above the navel and two inches to the right. The trocar is used to pierce and aspirate fluid from the organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities. (Think liposuction-type motions.) The trocar is then disconnected from the hydro aspirator and connected to a bottle of cavity fluid. (Cavity fluid is a MUCH stronger preservative than arterial embalming fluid and it's used "straight" (no water dilution). Using simple gravity injection, the trocar is then used to distribute the cavity fluid throughout the previously aspirated cavities.
Caveat: I'm describing a simple/routine embalming of an unautopsied body with no additional complications. And don't forget all of the other work such as washing/disinfection, setting features, restoration (if req'd), cosmetics, hair styling, dressing/casketing, etc. Embalming is a process that is customized for each decedent to provide the best result. The answer to most questions about the embalming process is "well... it depends..." because every body is unique.
Hope this helps clarify some of what you saw in the video. What a magnificent vintage prep room tho. Great video thank you for posting!
Very interesting, thank you!
Former funeral director here... the lift we never used to transfer to the embalming table but to transfer into the casket since the decedent has to go over and down. In reference to the cremains you'd be surprised how many families don't want them, are contacted numerous times and don't pick them up. It's sad but very likely in a lot of these cases. Being so much later there may be other family members that want them now but legally after the next of kin is the only one that can claim them so other family members probably assume they did. I'm not sure what if any legalities would have to be considered now.
I was thinking the same thing, sometimes, for whatever reason, families don't want the remains of the deceased.
I agree with Kim that you ought to contact someone so families can get their remains! I wasn’t going to watch this one because funeral homes make me very sad, but I decided to because I’m trying to become a stronger person❤
As I've said on other funeral videos why in the world would anyone subject their lived ones to being pumped full of chemicals and all the things embalmers do to preserve a body....the funeral industry is such a rip off its not funny.
People are apparently convinced that this is the way to treat their loved ones. It truly is a tragedy
Feel the same way 10000%. To me it feels like such a barbaric and unnatural thing to do to the body your loved ones left behind.
Cant believe that everything is still left behind, thanks for taking us along with you 👍
The spear thing on the table is a trocar. It’s hooked up to the tubing of the embalming machine. It pierces organs and removes waste by suctioning, and can distributes fluids also.
Thanks for the input.
It didn't take long to locate this funeral home and it was recently open as of 2022, I believe.
My question in is there still a way in? I want to explore it
You totally missed the white bassinet up on the shelf that they would use to transport babies instead of using a large gurney or to put them in for a wake instead of a casket. A special touch most funeral home will do.
Also, sometimes the decedent was a awful person (like a pedo)and the family doesn't want their ashes so they don't pick them up.
Oh crap your right!
Metaflow and the other one is Plastapeck which is both used in arterial embalming. The solvent is to wash out a needle that was used with tissue builder. Like if someone had been sick for a long time you could inject it and like make the face look better.
It’s always great to watch your videos
Thanks 👍
Cool video thanks for sharing
This was very interesting, thanks for the video =). I think that you should contact the police for the remaining family members to have the remains to properly bury them, as other viewers have said, I agree!
People don’t usually receive loved ones’ ashes because they haven’t paid the funeral home.
Thanks!
That round looking thing looks like some king of water fall machine I'm guessing
I would be cool to restore one of those old cabinets
💯
It is a fascinating topic! Those lotions are corpse moisturizer.
I think that tape is to mark off the seats for family only of the person who passed away
Older head block. Don’t touch anything in the prep room without gloves 🧤 on
Why are you inside these embalming room with no type of protection on? Please protect yourself,
That's the Crown of thorns.
It’s creepy fascinating!
I love this stuff .
The families probably couldn’t afford to pay for it. That’s why they’re still left there. If they could ever afford it, they would’ve already picked up the remains.
That's a possibility .
Those ashes are some people never picked up or paid
Although obviously a very old building and business I feel like its not that long ago that it was still operational as an active funeral home? Kinda odd Rick with the descriptions of "sucking your guts out" .... "that is disgusting" etc. Goodness help the viewer that right at this moment has a loved one being prepped for a funeral? Upon reflection do you think maybe you could have done a bit better on the descriptives?
Shot out to the 1960's Gillette fat boy adjustable razor.
I've seen videos where they show you under the casket. It's not comfy at all.
I'm in Pensacola
The state should have come got the remains.
Agreed.
SIR YOU NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT THESE PLACES THEY DID NOT SUCK YOUR GUTS OUT. YOUR ORGANS ARE TAKEN OUT BY CUTTING . PUT INTO A PLASTIC BAG AND PUT INTO YOUR CHEST CAVITY BEFORE THEY EVEN GET TO THE FUNERAL HOME. SO YOU REALLY NEED TO DO YOUR HOME WORK BEFORE YOU START LEADING PEOPLE ON WITH THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT. THE BLOOD IS DRAINED OUT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE FUNERAL HOME USUALLY. THE MACHINE IS TO PUMP THE EMBALMING FLUID INTO THE BODY. IF YOU TALK TO A REAL FUNERAL HOME THAT IS RUNNING YOU WILL DISCOVER THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY REMAINS THAT THE FAMILY NEVER PICK
UP. PEOPLE JUST DON'T BOTHER PICKING THEM UP WHEN THEY WHERE TOLD THEY WOULD BE READY ON A CERTAIN DATE.
The organs are only removed if an autopsy is done at the morgue prior to being transferred to the funeral home. They are placed in the abdominal cavity. The blood is not drained during autopsy and therefore needs to be done as part of the embalming process.
Chill out
23:15; have you seen my baseball? ⚾
I'm sure the police know already as bout the remains... Hmmm
Very sad ! Hoping they rest in peace
Ya probably so lol
That embalming room is why I want to be cremated! No thanks! Been to way too many funerals in my 68 years! Interesting video though!
Even if you want to be buried you do not have to be embalmed. It's a money making exercise for them. In Holland it is banned for burials as they do not want the fluid leaking out from corpses going into the ground.
Head rest
only blood is sucked out with that machine then embalmed. Clothes are for funerals and they use a lot of makeup and a hair stylist .
How did you get in that building?
It was open.
Yes
Tags were toe tags
Crown of throns that is like what they placed on Jesus head when he was crucified.
i think u should notify law enforcement for the boxes of the remains really cool place i love urban exploration thanks rick
23:27 did anyone else here like a bell when you open a door? Around 23:27 mark??
I didn't catch it
@@RangerRickTV It really sounded like a bell. You have to listen VERY closely.
@@RangerRickTV Almost right after you said the word poems
@@Get_er_Done_389 ok I just heard it's not sure what that was. Sounded like a spring.
❤❤❤❤❤
Where do you find these strange places?
mostly networking with the right people or randomly driving around.
He must be a strange place magnet ! I don't come across places like this in my neck of the woods. And I look .....lol
👍👍👍
😷👍
Omg the makeup!!
Ikr!
Jesus had a crown thrones
i love urbex.
Same.
You talk a tad much sometimes it makes it hard to watch the whole video because you get hyper focused and slow showing things
lol..
I enjoyed your video. My only suggestion is when you come to funeral homes. A lot of the information you are giving pertaining to equipment in the preparation room is incorrect. A lot of the things you are saying are incorrect and I would suggest that. You know you get information from an actual funeral service professional? So when you narrate your videos, you're giving the right information because a lot of the things you're saying, regarding equipment and what have you and what it's used for and how it's used is absolutely incorrect.
First! 🎉🎉
I know some of that stuff needs to be in a museum especially all the tools to let people know the history of it all. So yes I would make an effort to contact the popo about the ashes you just never know. Have a great day
Thank you.
