I looove the cemetery visits. The grave statue of the girl being held up on a swing by Jesus about made me bawl. So much love there. The contrast of the other cemetery also made me want to cry, but due to the lack of love. Sad deal, that. Great job Jacob!
Hubby & I are concentrating a green burial. No open caskets, no embalming, just a simple pine box. The last one to go, will have a pine tree planted between us as a marker, we will be together, tucked safely under the low branches of the tree, here in Michigan. 💖🌲
Hey Jacob. Just a little information for you. Eastern Cemetery is cared for by volunteers. Don’t quote me on it , but I believe a few months ago someone stole their lawn equipment. They have a few people that help out with the care and trying to clean stones. Also, the little girl on the swing with Jesus above her ... passed away at a very young age. Her favorite song was Jesus loves me. Her parents had the statue made of her likeness. Lastly , the grave with the diary was of a young woman whom did a lot of work with children and I believe she did some mission work. I can’t remember how she passed, but she was in her teens. Due to her dedication to children and the lord ... her parents had this made. The diary is actual passages that she wrote. I can try and get you more information. I wish you were there when the office was open. They will give you a pamphlet on some other famous graves. For example : the lady that wrote The Happy Birthday song. Most of the statues etc are from a local artist. There is also a grave with glass made by Tiffany ( yes like the lamps). Nice video.
thank you!!! as for eastern , there is a group that gathers and cleans the cemetery. unfortunately, all their equipment was stolen last fall. Now they meet and bring what they can to do the job. it' s better then what it was. But, it's rumoured to be haunted.
Yes!! You said Louisville correctly!!😂😂 Glad to see you come down this way! Btw, my nephews Boy Scout troop has been volunteering at the second grave site recently. They have been lifting stones and digging a few that sunk in. There are military veterans there too. So sad to see how long the cemetery has been neglected.
That is awesome. It's a Boy Scout and Girl Scouts down here in Florida to go up to the Panhandle and help the people still devastated by the category 4 hurricane!
A little troubling, a little troubling!! Jacob it's beyond just troubling it's horrific!! I'm surprised someone is not held responsible legally. Thank you for another excellent video. Big hugs.
Wow, CB - I've never seen a story as spirit-filled & heart-tugging go south as quickly as this one just did! From sublime to crying shame in a quick minute, indeed!
At least when a cemetery is abandoned the bodies stay buried. There are videos about abandoned mausoleums that are falling apart and the bodies there are vulnerable.
I discovered your videos about a year ago when you went to go see the donkey lady bridge I was just looking for creepy videos at that time but I discovered your series and I fallen in love with it ever since I’m a truck driver so I get to see a lot of these wacky attractions especially the thing in New Mexico I believe but I never get to go there because of my large trailers one day I hope to do a trip around the US to revisit all the places I could never go keep up the good work!!!
I have a spot waiting for me at Cave Hill along with many other family members, I also have several family members in the adjoining Eastern Cemetery. Both are fascinating stories, for very different reasons. Thanks so very much for posting!!
What a beautiful cemetery Cave Hill is with some unusual stones. Loved the tour. It is sad when you find a lack of respect for the memory of people. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
Hi Jacob,, thank you for the vid..and a place you should visit is the Calgary Stampede!! It runs til July 15 and I know you would be awed...Bring the fam and you'd have an awesome time!! Love from Calgary, Alberta!!
As an Australian thank you so much for your educational video about two Kentucky Cemeteries one beautiful the other very sad. may Almighty God have Mercy on them, may they Rest In Peace
I just love to see old gravestones, just to see when they were born and died especially when they were in the Civil war or WW2. The ones with angels are good or if it's a column
They found that one of our local hospitals did that with cadavers and body parts at one of our 4 local cemeteries here. The hospital got fined BIG time!
Enjoyed your video, your speaking voice very clear, great information. My only corrective criticism is spend a little more time videoing the stones / monuments. So much to take in and read. I’m going to put this place on my bucket list. Thank you.
Hi i loved this, thank you. Truly beaitiful. The grave of a young girl, the one wid d journal and u cud turn the stone, i wish you cud have read some lines and introduced her. Her grave had d statie of Jesus and children running towards Him. Nevertheless loved your video, bless up. Love from India
The one with Jesus holding the swing has me conflicted because the parents of that little girl didn’t communicate as to who was watching her and so she was by herself and fell/drowned in a swimming pool. As a parent I feel a certain weird way about that
I'm a great believer in cremation on the cheap, we've had our time on this earth so why use all that space for graves and headstones, if like me you're just an ordinary person, once the first generation of your family have died off thats it, no one will be visiting your grave anytime soon so you're basically in the way. It may sound cold and harsh but thats the way things are at the moment. Has anyone reading this been to their grandparents grave recently, be honest unless you were raised by your grandparents the answer is probably not. That's why I'm leaving my body parts for organ transplants and my grave marker in my children's memories plus they won't be fleeced by those funeral homes, they are the parasites who took the fun out of funeral. I say fun because it should be a celebration of your life not the sad passing of your death. RIP remembered in pleasure.
You would think the city would care and take care of the place here in Vegas they get the prisoners out and have them clean up parks roads desert clean up when people throw garbage out there they can get some people out there with lawn mowers show some respect even city works really
Seriously? The city it's in cannot even afford to hire someone to mow the lawn once a week during the summer? They should at least be able to do that much.
The 1st was excellent and really the art sculpture expressions of love of God and the departed. The 2nd cemetery my concern was we’re they buried to rise to the left? It appears a mass dumping of bodies the wonder of was it a Christian manner funeral is over. Sad.
I looove the cemetery visits. The grave statue of the girl being held up on a swing by Jesus about made me bawl. So much love there. The contrast of the other cemetery also made me want to cry, but due to the lack of love. Sad deal, that. Great job Jacob!
Lack of love, or lack of money? I think the latter is more likely.
Chaos Gonaway yes, you are correct. I could have worded that differently.
That little girl apparently ran her trike into the family swimming pool and drowned. Which was 💔 heartbreaking to hear. 😫
Hubby & I are concentrating a green burial. No open caskets, no embalming, just a simple pine box. The last one to go, will have a pine tree planted between us as a marker, we will be together, tucked safely under the low branches of the tree, here in Michigan. 💖🌲
Me and my wife have talked about that
Go green! It's good for the environment! Have a memorial service with pics of happy times in your life, a celebration of your life.
I love the tombstone with the dog..but they all were pretty unique..

That's awful the abuse of that cemetery. You'd think somebody would do something. Sad.
I agree with you Pati
Somebody? Something?
There's a volunteer organization Friends of Eastern Cemetery they do what they can to care for it now.

You are so lucky to see a lot of roadside attractions! I have filmed a few. :)
Some of my family are buried in Cave Hill Cemetery.
Thank you for sharing this.

Lovely tributes to some and a sad story to others. I hope that the latter is rectified.
Cave Hill looks like such a nice cemetery. What a stark contrast to Eastern. What a disgrace. Very sad to learn what has happened.
Wow.. Interesting commentary on that one! Beautiful place! Thank you for being respectful to the graves..
You should go to these more, very interesting
I love filming in cemeteries! :)
No onw is mowing th grass at the 2nd cematary,except at 06;30 ,there is a small plot that someone is trying to take care of !!

I used to be a cemetery manager... It was a very important job... I had thousands of people under me.
Love the statues especially with Jesus swinging the little girl
As an Australian thank you so much for your educational video about two Kentucky Cemeteries one beautiful the other very sad. may Almighty God have Mercy on them, may they Rest In Peace
Beautiful! I love going to look at the headstones and monuments.
you should go to spring grove cemetery if you ever come to Cincinnati.
Some headstones that are well crafted and I bet were costly, but worth seeing.
Such a beautiful cemetery.
If you like cemeteries. You should check out the 1 here in my hometown of Childress Texas
Missed a lot of awesome monuments. I live in Louisville. You should visit again
Another great vlog. Keep up the great work
A beautiful first cemetery. The last one? Such a travesty.
Awesome video!!! Loved the scenery. Your videos are the best ☺
Didn't know Muhammad Ali was from kentucky.

Amazing Cave Hill Cemetery art.
I just love to see old gravestones, just to see when they were born and died especially when they were in the Civil war or WW2. The ones with angels are good or if it's a column
hey, that shirt is from Maine! nice vid
Thanks Jacob!👍👩🏭🕊️❤️
That is so sad about the 2nd cemetery.
:(
No joke I actually went to cave Hill cemetery with my grandfather a second ago
Awesome place
:)
I recommend the documentary Facing East for more info on Eastern Cemetery and the BS that happened there
They found that one of our local hospitals did that with cadavers and body parts at one of our 4 local cemeteries here. The hospital got fined BIG time!
You need to come to New Hampshire! I can show you a cemetary from the 1600's
Oh great I think one of my ancestors is buried there, probably in the unkept section. O.o
Omg. Blues traveler in the flesh.

Hi. Carpetbagger. Hi. From a. Fan
The grave with Jesus and the Children is the grave of the daughter of Kentucky’s current governor...
Nice 👍
Still just browsing for my retirement.
Thamk you! I love cemetery architecture, is an amazing artform
The one with Jesus holding the swing has me conflicted because the parents of that little girl didn’t communicate as to who was watching her and so she was by herself and fell/drowned in a swimming pool. As a parent I feel a certain weird way about that
It's not a cemetery but it's actually an art museum.
Carpet bagger are you still in Kentucky?
Mitch McConnel has plots here!
I agree that isn’t the way to respect your loved ones
Yo I live like right across the street from here
The community needs to step up and clean up that cemetery! How disrespectful and negligent!
You Pass Ali graves to fast it's beautiful.

So sad that the city won’t do the right thing and just mow...heartbreaking
Abuse of a cemetery is shameful find me a house down there and I will take care of it
That's so sad.
I have to say that is shocking
interesting yet sad
Seriously? The city it's in cannot even afford to hire someone to mow the lawn once a week during the summer? They should at least be able to do that much.
Little Samantha would be a year younger than my Daughter if she were still alive.
Love cemeteries. OMG, that's a horrible story😵😨
Cemetery for the rich
The #1 cause of death is lack of breath.
No surprise here...the dead don't care and the living continue to do what they always do image themselves as superior entities...The End
I like to look at old grave stones, but this gentleman move too fast and his camera wasn't steady.
I thought you were going to show us Colonel Sanders grave.
Send u a weed eater ..
The 1st was excellent and really the art sculpture expressions of love of God and the departed. The 2nd cemetery my concern was we’re they buried to rise to the left? It appears a mass dumping of bodies the wonder of was it a Christian manner funeral is over. Sad.
I enjoyed watching this but with some u were too quick for us to have.a proper look and some u never said who they were.
