Considering the age of this cemetery, it seems to have held up pretty well throughout the years. It's sad that some cemeteries wind up being forgotten about and lack the maintenance that they deserve. Still a beautiful cemetery indeed. It's great to see so much greenery everywhere you look, where I live (desert) not so much. Thanks for stroll. 👍
The mausoleum u passed at for A. P. Argenti. His name is Pandeli Ambrose Argenti n he was only 31-32 years old at the time of his passing. He died on a holiday the USA celebrates honoring our independance, 4 Jul 1885. So young he was. The grave stone with the ship on it belonging to Pandelis, Ariadne Pandelis, its the grave of a woman 70-71 yo. She is the wife of Basil Pandelis. I wonder where he is buried? Seems back in the day a husband n wife were buried together. Ur video was great. It's nice to see places we in the US won't ever get to visit. Thank u for bringing it to us n for ur time n commentary. Keep up the good work!!
Have been to this cemetery several times in the past few years. The city has not done anything to restore this cemetery. The roots from the trees have caused the coffens to surface and rise. The headstones have crumbled and so much vandalizing. The city does not care about the cemetery. They say that it's to costly to repair. They say that it be cheaper to bulldoze everything.
This just reaffirmed my wish to be scattered in the wind. I would not want my mortal remains just hanging there forever. But it is fascinating to see these 👏
Neglected cemeteries are such a shame, almost heartbreaking to see. One thing though is intentional desecration of Graves absolutely no respect for individuals who do that.
I have always loved cemeteries. Back home in Chicago I lived near Rosehill cemetery which is beautiful and so many artistic sculptures. Same with Bohemian cemetery. Plus being a psychic medium I can hear a lot of conversations, but it’s more like you can’t make out what anyone is saying. Also very peaceful, I feel like I’m home.
It's quite strange to me that there are museums with hundreds of decomposed bodies on display for all to see. Yet if you see it at a cemetery it is some sort of disgrace or so horrific. It makes you wonder or at least me it does.
@@mariepollard8734 It's because before the Individual died, he or she wanted to donate their bodies to serve as a means to educate, in other words, they wanted to have their bodies on display for the sake of science in regards to the physical analysis of the human body because it was their wish to do so.
Yeah let's have no way of any further generations being able to visibly see history don't you think the newer generations are disrespectful enough as it is! Yeah let's not let these spoilt brat generation know how they have been able to become so spilt and brat like ! Let's just let them think that they are the most important things on earth and untill they were born nothing else matters !
That was brilliant! It is strange how uneven the ground is in there for sure; definitely can see that being hazardous to the unwary. Still, phenomenal detail in the monuments and mausoleums so worth taking a chance. Beautiful place, and another great video.
This is fascinating. I had no idea that coffins wrapped in leather where stored in tombs this way in the UK. The mausoleums do an impressive job of keeping our the weather.
My great parents, and my cremated grandmother on top, r buried in East Grinstead, at a cemetery called Mount Noddie. I went to visit in May as I had the rare chance while taking my niece to a diving competition (I live in Southampton so when asked to drive to Tunbridge Wells, I had to make a road trip! Lol!) Well, I knew the ground had subsided, that burials were banned in most of the plots now, and it was wild as even walking with a hand strimmer is dangerous, and bodies had been seen thru broken graves, but nothing prepared me for the guy seemingly looking at me thru the huge gash in the side of his tomb! I told the groundsman after sending my daughter and niece to the car where my sil was waiting (didn't show them that's for sure!) And he said yeah, we get a lot of that here but it's so old we can't do anymore than patch and kids had removed the boards so was waiting for permission to seal or replace the stone. Luckily as I'm here, I am OK with it, but I told my dad (his mum and grandparents) and he had stories from 30yrs ago when my nan went in! Glad to see this place is getting some tlc tho, old churches and grave yards r so beautiful, but most people don't take the time to look.
Well it is not as bad as some crypts that we see. Yes I would also like to stick my head in and view some of the burials inside. I am naturally curious about the older resting places
Thanks for the tour. It's a shame that so many graves are neglected. Although,and I don't want to sound disrespectful,the neglected ones tend to give the place character I think the word is. I think it reminds people how old they are.
Graves get more neglected over time as generations pass. A parent's grave visited by their children and maybe grandchildren from time to time. The children die, the grand kids seldom ever come. The grand kids die, the great grand kids probably don't even know they existed
All the years I've been going there and I've never seen inside the Chapel of the Greek cemetery, i can't wait to see how they restore it. Glad it's received funding, needs a bit of love. Right opposite is the new rose garden/garden of remembrance. I spend many a moment in there remembering my loved ones. I want my ashes to be scattered there one day.
That's SHOCKING how could they leave it like THAT?! It reminds me of how people used to ruin my sister's grave and nothing was done about it. I really do think that more work should be done in cemeteries to prevent things like this happening.
@@giuliabaracchi463 her grave was found broken, flowers torn everywhere. But these people NEVER get caught unfortunately. They never suffer as they should.
Wow 🤩 what an amazing place. I’m so glad they are restoring this, it’s well worth it. Sure don’t see many stairs going down they seem to mostly be filled in here so that was fun. PS glad you decided not to die in the graveyard !
Very interesting,,, you should vid that at night,, think what it would look like @ the full moon...also is the cemetery full or are people still being laid to rest there
I thought America has allot of huge, outrageous tombstone but by golly George! Y'all in England have blown us out of the water on that! Don't get me wrong, I think their absolutely beautiful & some are just down right stunning! I wish now that most American's would go this elaborate.
What an interesting cemetery, I love cemetery walks (of course minus seeing any body parts hanging out, as the deceased deserve their dignity), so I hope they get anything like that fixed. But this cemetery will be very nice if they get the renovations completed.
At 10:15 I know someone else was in the cemetery but as the camera is placed in the tomb did anyone else notice a voice sounded muffled and like it was echoing through water..could of been a coincidence but still pretty strange.
Another amazing cemetery with fascinating architecture. And I must confess, I love when you peer inside the mausoleums with your camera lens. The leather coffin coverings are unique, are they not? Some of my maternal London ancestors are buried in Norwood Cemetery: Lambeth. Others in Nunhead - Linden Grove, Southwark, Surrey. I kept hoping you’d visit the non-Greek area and perhaps capture my ancestors’ graves. I can’t be certain I will make it back to London again. Many thanks for a wonderful tour and narration.
I've never seen leather ones before, but I kinda like it. If you email me your families names I can look out for them next time and send you the video? Email address is in about section on my channel
@@deadgoodwalks Greetings! Apologies for the tardy response to your kind offer. A family member is having health issues which has kept me occupied. I’m not seeing your email address, and would like to give you my family’s information. Two members only. No worries if the offer is no longer viable. Thank you.
My folks probably in Shopshire? At least, I think the 6x ggrandmother was. Is there a St. Mary's Church in Shropshire? I'm trying to remember conversations from 30 yrs ago, its sketchy at best! The 6th gg's name was Sarah/Sara Mould!!
Oh Gosh! I haven't never seen a cemetery quite like this 🙂 some of it was beautiful but was really crowded, everyone seem to be buried so close! Thank you for showing this to us, my wife and I subscribed ❤️
Please visit the Beckenham Crematorium and Cemetery - go to the Victorian section where Thomas Crapper is buried. I was there recently, and it is very very eerie. The reason for this feeling is that it is so overly neglected, that the graves have risen because of age, and have exposed within.
Internments are so different around the world. I’m from Chicago Illinois and the mausoleums look much like these but one difference I notice from the UK is the inside of the mausoleums look more like basement storage. In the US the mausoleums have all of the coffins in closed in the wall and the insides are usually all marble and kept reasonably clean because the doors have glass and metal decoration. I don’t understand why the coffins are kept exposed. Do family come and open them from time to time?
Really enjoying your videos. Thank you. It would be interesting if you could comment on some of the dates on the headstones, I'm sure some of them are extraordinarily old. Thanks.
Reminds me of a cleaned up Abney Park....I haven't been there in ages, but 20 years ago it was completely overgrown, tombs open, and more than a few live folk having a drink!
Sometimes it's stranger see other cemeteries compared to the United States cemeteries we keep our cemeteries cut mode and and good condition is sometimes really weird to see others from other countries that are overgrown and that kept up I'm glad they're restoring the cemetery it looks like very interesting place to visit
Some of these places will be overgrown through neglect but in the UK there is much more of a movement to keep places wild in order to encourage wildlife . We have to do this because we are the least biodiverse nation in the G20 . Most churchyards now have a wildflower patch and the grass is mown in a way that encourages wildlife .✌️
Beautiful, historical cemetery, I hope all of the mausoleums will be restored, and glass repaired or replaced. The cemeteries here in US aren't nearly as awesome as your cemeteries there. Although there are beautiful, historical ones here. Serenity Sue there in England has a great channel, she tours the old cemeteries too. Thanks for the tour, loved it. Have a great weekend. 😊
3:55 I can make out the date 1696 on that crooked cross.....which is awesome! I live in Indiana in the US, and I have seen gravestones with dates from the 1700's (late....around where I live, the oldest is usually the civil war), but NEVER from the 1600's. I suppose that living amongst all of that history makes you sort of immune to its "charm", maybe?
Graves from the 1600's are still pretty rare even in Britain. The ones inside churches or cathedrals are usually intact but outdoor ones are much harder to find. My local church published a little pamphlet with information about the people buried there (mostly from the 1800's) who would otherwise be anonymous and forgotten.
I dont know if you ignored what you seen in this episode but the fist leather covered coffin tomb you looked into the left door. Then you panned to the right door and if you look at the top right hand corner of the screen you can see a hand hanging out of the coffin
I didn't even notice lol. It could well be
That's why you need to cremate your loved one.
What I gotta look at that again
I watched it again an I saw a Arm laying down
I looked but I didn't see anything recognizable. If the coffin isn't cracked or broken, there's no way any bones would be seen.

@@michellevasquez2131 May they rest in everlasting peace.
Old cemeteries are like a history book of the past with grandeur style and class .
The stonework and masonary are extraordinary. Even in disrepair the marble and stone are a thing to behold.
The mausoleum u passed at for A. P. Argenti. His name is Pandeli Ambrose Argenti n he was only 31-32 years old at the time of his passing. He died on a holiday the USA celebrates honoring our independance, 4 Jul 1885. So young he was.

Thanks for the extra info. Happy to show your round these places x
What a spectacular and beautiful bunch of architecture!! I'm so happy they are restoring some of them. Thanks for sharing this with us!!
Have been to this cemetery several times in the past few years. The city has not done anything to restore this cemetery. The roots from the trees have caused the coffens to surface and rise. The headstones have crumbled and so much vandalizing. The city does not care about the cemetery. They say that it's to costly to repair. They say that it be cheaper to bulldoze everything.
Even in disrepair, it is beautiful!
Those leather coffin covers were something I've never seen before. I'm surprised they're still intact. Beautiful cemetery, thank you 😊
You're welcome! Me too Stacee, I kind of want one, I know I'm weird lol
Well those are other familys , love ones,and they look after their place because all the blood line will go. 😊❤❤❤.
I mean that’s their family’s piece,, so they have to keep it safe and well look after for their love ones..❤❤😢😢
That cemetery is nicely overgrown. Not too far gone, but pleasantly picturesque.

Thanks for walking with me
Another great video. This is another one I would like to visit. Some beautiful monuments.
Must be a cemetery for the wealthy. Those markers are not cheap. Such beautiful ornate workmanship.
This just reaffirmed my wish to be scattered in the wind.
I would not want my mortal remains just hanging there forever.
But it is fascinating to see these 👏
Will it matter to us at the end of the day? 😅
@@Will-nb8qk I just don't like the idea of been left hanging around all the time 😅

u what fuck all dead kin
🤔☝️your feet are on the earth sweetheart.😉& you have no idea who you have walked on.no need to be judgmental.💖😎
It’s honestly sad really
What can you do if they go about in the night
That is one crowded cemetery. It’s so cool to see this history!!!
It’s so sad to see that no one tends these graves any longer
Neglected cemeteries are such a shame, almost heartbreaking to see. One thing though is intentional desecration of Graves absolutely no respect for individuals who do that.
I wish they would do some weeding and grass cutting.
The people that vandalized these places are due for some serious karma

As a reenactor we do veterans day event there every year.

The funding for keeping cemeterys nice is hard to get. I think maybe a go fund me would help if the money when to the right place
NO DECEASED BODY should be on display, either historical or recent

i love walking around graveyards there's such serenity and peace
Me too I used to do that as a child
What a fantastic cemetery! I could spend quite a while in there! Great video!!
We all will
So they make better builders than gardeners 😲😊🙏🌹🕯
Admittedly these grave yards are fascinating, but crematorium, and scattered is the way to go. No trace, no worries.

No resurrection either

Wow, crammed full you could look for days and never see them all! Thanks for sharing!

I wonder who has the ancient keys to those ancient doors on the mausoleums??? Most probably lost, but fascinating to ponder.
Thank you Dan a other top video.... So much history in those graveyards....
Such beautiful tombstones. Glad that they are restoring it
That is the meaning of ashes to ashes dust to dust. Nothing last forever !
Amen!except💖.😉👍😎🙂
U r right. Only damaged bodies are here. While soul are in sky
This is fascinating. I had no idea that coffins wrapped in leather where stored in tombs this way in the UK. The mausoleums do an impressive job of keeping our the weather.
It is an amazing place. I'm about five miles away and have visited ten times this year.
Very lucky to have it on your doorstep mate

How come it's not maintained? In Austria such a cemetery would be closed due to the health departement. 💔🕯
Some beautiful graves there. Amazing stone work.
All the years I've been going there and I've never seen inside the Chapel of the Greek cemetery, i can't wait to see how they restore it. Glad it's received funding, needs a bit of love.
Right opposite is the new rose garden/garden of remembrance. I spend many a moment in there remembering my loved ones. I want my ashes to be scattered there one day.
Me too Susan, hopefully they'll have it finished soon. I can't remember if I saw the rose garden, sounds lovely though
Something about the inside of the old dusty mausoleum with the original old stained burial cloths is just so cool to me. Reminds me of Bloodborne.

You can't blame the guy for trying to get out before he decomposes any further.
You never stand directly over a grave. You can cause a coffin to collapse in.

My local church published a little pamphlet with information about the people buried there (mostly from the 1800's) who would otherwise be anonymous and forgotten.
The first burial in West Norwood was in 1837
Some are so deteriorated, but others stand the test of time. Thx from USA....PNW

Nice place...wish you would read some of the stones...when do we get to see your face???
