      Don't be disceived no matter who you hear or see make big speech at one's funeral after awhile you are worth nothing to them worse if your immediate love ones are passed too. Anchor your life in God that tho your flesh be destroyed you have hope in Him.

      Now you know everything in this life is vanity. You were born with nothing and will die with nothing... All the fancy things and expensive things will all mean nothing. The only thing that matters in this life is if you lived a life pleasing to your maker

    Came across the channel an hour ago. Lovely raw footage. Just some additional information about the May Pen Cemetery. It actually was named after the Chinese family called May. They had given the land up for the cemetery to be erected there. So just gave this info, for those who might be wondering if it had any relations to the May Pen, in Clarendon.

      Thieves took a mic made of cement from Massive Dread’s grave in Maypen Cemetery a couple times.
      Prince Buster and Skatalite’s Lloyd Brevett graves are by the Spanish Town Road, easy access.
      The monument to the fallen soldiers of World War II is located near the entrance so you can see it safely.

    Alot of these people seem to be long forgotten.
    May they continue to R.I.P.
    You're not doing any harm to anyone.
    A Cemetery is a open place & a place for everyone to be able to go & walk around & read the headstones.
    If family wanted the graves private from the public, then they wouldn't be buried in a Cemetery for all to see.
    Keep up the good work.

      We can not depent on Public works or gov to clean up the cemeteries in JA. We have to do it out self and archive our historical past. They gave the land, luckily, they did not take it back. Gov have no loyalties to anyone/things. We are the only one who love to go to funerals but, don’t preserve and respect our ancestors memories. Go to Bottom road in Mobay in the smack of the tourist center; between 2 major and popular hotels; there is a Jewish cemetery this space is sacred, respected and maintained to preserved their ancestor’s memories and their records that, they will never forget.
      MayPen cemetery, is the only place that, we can associate with, to educate us, to our truth, and of our loved ones and of our past.

    I’ve been binge watching your videos. While I am not from Jamaica, I have learned so much lately about the country and your videos have lead me to do some more research on the music, people and places there. Keep up the good work, and do be careful out there 🙂! Such a shame that May Pen cemetery has gotten into such a state of disrepair. Hopefully one day work can be done to clean it up and that the records can be organized for families who might be interested in looking up records of their relatives and might want to visit the graves of family members. Anyway, I look forward to your next video.
    Edit: Wow, “disrepair” is an understatement! That poor man was left uncovered to the elements. That is horrible!

I enjoyed your video as I am fascinated with the dead. You would never catch me in that cemetary however, you could not pay me to go in there. That is a criminal hide out spot and all those open graves. It is too spookie.

    I AM A BORN AND RAISED BLACK AMERICAN THAT GREW UP AROUND ALOT OF JAMAICANS.
    I VISITED J.A. RECENTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND STAYED IN "THE GHETTO" FOR MY WHOLE STAY OF ALMOST ONE MONTH.
    LOVED IT, AND IT WAS ALL MANNERS AND RESPECT. ❤
    I STAYED IN "WALTHAM-PARK" RIGHT OFF THE MAIN ROAD (W.P. ROAD).
    I USED TO PASS MAY PEN CEMETERY DAILY WHEN HEADED INTO TOWN, AND TO CORONATION MARKET.
    IT'S CRAZY HOW YOU DID THIS VIDEO AND I SAW IT, BECAUSE I WANTED TO VISIT "JIM BROWN'S" GRAVE, AND PAY RESPECT TO THE "DON OF DONS". 🙏
    I NEVER GOT TO THOUGH BECAUSE I WAS WARNED ABOUT THE TIVOLI GUYS HIDING GUNS IN THERE, AND NERVOUS ABOUT STRANGE FACES.
    I WAS ADVISED TO HIRE A GUIDE FROM TIVOLI, BUT THEN WARNED THAT THE GUIDE MAY STILL ROB YOU ONCE INSIDE AND OUT OF VIEW !! 😃
    ANYWAY...I JUST FORGOT ABOUT THE IDEA. 🤔
    ANYWAY...FOR THE RECORD, I USED TO WALK THROUGH SPANISH TOWN ROAD PASS THE CEMETERY ON THAT SIDE OF TIVOLI ALL THE TIME, AND AT NIGHT AS WELL.
    I WOULD WALK FROM CORONATION ALL THE WAY TO DENHAM-TOWN POLICE STATION...AND NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE, NOR DID I SEE ANYONE ELSE BECOME A VICTIM OF "CRIME".
    IF SOMEONE GOT CAUGHT UP IN SOMETHING, THERE WAS USUALLY A STORY BEHIND IT.
    IN OTHER WORDS...THEY WERE DOING DIRT TOO !! 🤔
    BUT OTHERWISE...IT WAS ALWAYS MANNERS AND RESPECT.👍
    COMING FROM AMERICA...MAY PEN CEMETERY IS AMAZING, BECAUSE OF THE STATUES AND MOTORBIKES ON THE GRAVES !! 😮
    THE PAINTINGS ON THE GRAVES ARE ALSO AMAZING.
    NOTHING LIKE THAT COULD BE SEEN IN AMERICAN CEMETERIES. 🙏
    JAMAICANS REALLY SEND OFF THEIR LOVED ONES IN STYLE.
    I WAS TRULY IMPRESSED.👍
    MUCH RESPECT TO YOU 'BREDDAH...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
    MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU, AND STAY SAFE. 🙏

    In the state of Louisiana a lot of grave sites are buried tombs...with that being said my cousin and I would visit our family cemetery and would see some with death date and no born date which was very fascinating information being that the death dates were in the 1800's. Some would have pictures on them that withstood the weather throughout the years so much history.

    My brother good job the most important thing about a cemetary is biography into the lives of past individuals. So glad u are doing one for jamaica just like the americans. Ivan o rigen was one of intrest is story led to the movie the harder they come jamaicas first gunman.

    Went their as a boy in search of claims cherry.
    Felt privilege as a person when I got to understand the very significant site.
    Heard he hit a 6 in a match from boys town in a match and the ball landed there.
    Heard the bowler was roy Gilchrist. One of the at the fastest at the time.
    Fascinating and nostalgic work.

    Hello My Friend good evening My grandfather is buried there. I’ve been trying to find his record for so many years with no luck. He died before I was born. I always try to find something jus to hold on to I never met him yet I miss him If you have any information that you can share on way that I can find his grave or at least his death certificate. He died at the Kingston Public Hospital would appreciate 100% one love

    I’m not entirely sure but most countries have a level of care for grounds you would think apply to the most important grounds such as local parks and cemeteries to keep them looking respectable for visitation. Jamaica needs to create Jobs on the island to help the situation, people are in need of work and I can’t understand why the government over looks simple issues like this
    I’m absolutely appalled by watching this it’s truly shocking, I had no idea that there is no up keep I also have family laid at rest in may pen cemetery I’d hate to think…. God almighty! 🙏🏾 Keep doing your work my brother I’m learning so much from your uploads 🙏🏾
