Abandoned Funeral Home Left All The Caskets Behind

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มี.ค. 2022
- This abandoned funeral home that left all the caskets behind was located in the southern United States. The funeral home was well-known in the local community and helped thousands of families celebrate the lives of their loved ones over the years.
However, in more recent years the steady wave of success came crashing down on the funeral home shortly after new ownership took over operations.
The first sign that trouble was on the horizon began in 2015, when a customer complaint prompted the State Board to make an unannounced visit to the funeral home. Their job was to make sure that the customer complaint was valid and to ensure that the funeral home was “up to code.”
During the State Board visit, authorities noted dirty, used embalming tools and equipment that were supposed to be sanitary. They found that the embalming room had not been cleaned for quite some time, as they went on to find undrained Bodily fluids, as well as both Bloody sheets and gowns that were not properly disposed of. One of the authorities later stated that the embalming room “resembled a slaughterhouse” so I’m sure you can imagine what it looked like. The investigation did not stop at the embalming room.
As the authorities began investigating the funeral homes records and finances, more questions quickly arose. The investigation uncovered missing financial documents, which lead to state board placing the funeral home on a 3 year probationary period. If the funeral home could show that they are following through on their commitment to “clean up their act” then they could continue to operate. If not, the funeral home would be shut down immediately.
So in 2018, 3 years later, the state board set a hearing with the funeral homes owner. The purpose of this hearing was to give the funeral homes owner a chance to redeem himself, explain the unsanitary conditions and shoddy record keeping, and to resolved that initial customer complaint. Unfortunately for the funeral home, neither the owner or anyone else showed for the hearing. Instead, the owner closed down his funeral home and fled the area.
Once this happened, the state board was left with no other choice but to revoke the funeral homes permit and subsequently, the owners license.
In 2019, the funeral home was permanently shuttered by the state.
As of 2022, the funeral home still sits vacant, but did recently sell in an auction, so it will be interesting to see what the future holds for this one time successful funeral home.

They should donate those caskets to families that don’t have insurance or money to pay, especially if you loose a child unexpectedly. Lots of people experiencing hard times.
Yea they really should. Theres a lot of money sitting in that room.
Very good idea. 👍
I was about to ask what happens to all those caskets? Maybe they can be donated or given to somebody for a tiny fraction of the selling price. There are a lot of low-income or no-income people who would appreciate that. Those caskets are not cheap after all.
I SO AGREE AT A 💯. PERCENT
@@abandonedcentral so 👮♂️ 🚔 don't really like it to see you in a random ⚰🪦🏚?
That baby casket you saw, is a casket, just had one of those a few weeks ago for a 2 month old. It's called "love, cherish, forever" and it actually comes with a teddy bear and it also double as the burial vault too, so it's placed directly into the bare earth and covered. In Illinois we have to stick around to make sure the grave is covered...not the family if they so wish
Wonder how we evolved so fast ever since egyptian way ⚰🧻🫁🫀🧠💍📿💎🪙 with the jewelry and stuff
The oversized casket you see there is called the “Goliath”, in which the biggest one can hold up to 1000 pounds. I am in the funeral home industry and the largest case we had was about 742 pounds. Great video sir
Excuse me but loved ones are not "cases" they are human beings and someone's family member
@@jackf9951 Yea well, that's the term they use. Case number. Get over it, pal.
@@jackf9951 the term “case” is used in the death industry rather than body or cadaver
@@lliahhtootsmom no. The term “case” refers to the decedent and anything to do with them. It’s a santaized way of referring to it.
It has nothing to do with what the body is placed in - it’s similar to how surgeons and pathologists refer to patients as “cases”
😅
The funeral home looks clean, neat, and tidy. Every single equipment are placed orderly. It doesn’t seem like abandone and unoccupied
It needs to be sanitized and probably rebuild the preparation room.
Those caskets are made by Batesville Casket Co. I use to work for them. The largest I have seen from Batesville was 45" wide on the outside. When the lid was open it looked like a billboard sign on the highway. Great job with this video. !!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Lmao.
Those caskets are expensive!
@@carlavotor9395 That is where the funeral director makes there money. Other services funeral home perform are regulated cost by the state, etc... they can charge what ever they want for a casket. We had funeral homes that really upped the prices. Others didn't. You can wheel and deal just like buying a car. Lol....
@@geraldfreitag605 I sure would like to buy one for myself for the later years while it's cheap! 😂
The beautiful show room is so horrific when you realise the disrespect they had for the people in their care! It doesn't matter if they're dead - they should be treated with dignity. A clean prep room is a given to my mind.
Some people are under the assumption that instruments for taking care of the dead Don't need the same sanitary care surgical ones use. It's not for the deceased it's for the technician! Don't think the dead can't hurt you! My late husband was a morgue tech. And while stitching someone up broke the skin on his finger. He had a fever and infection. Treated with antibiotics he was fine but never forgot that.
And that's just it, during the pandemic especially, we heard about the medical & nursing staff but we never heard about funeral directors/embalmers who were also handling bodies. Those bodies still had the virus in them so the embalmers also had to be especially careful. Funeral directors/embalmers were also 'front line workers' and deserve just as much respect.
That’s true. Never thought of it that way.
@@karenroy9045, that's ok, apparently not too many did, or still do.
@@babycakes1402 I personally embalmed quite a few of the Covid cases from the past few years and handled quite a few others that were to be cremated.
We all kept hearing about doctors, nurses, store clerks, etc. being "heroes" and what not and we all internally were screaming. I can't tell you how much potentially infected bodily fluids I've had on / around me.
Even now, we aren't even an afterthought. Of course, this explains why many of us are leaving the industry (other than the lower pay rates, extra hours, wear and tear on our bodies, etc.).
@@babycakes1402 The virus couldn't stay alive to transmit to the funeral techs. I have friends in the industry. I asked about it. There risk was going into the hospitals and homes to pick up their cases.
You can't run a funeral home and then embalm bodies without PPE and other cleaning standards.
Also they do autopsies at the medical examiners office. A mortician would do embalming in the embalming room.
Was just about to comment this
What a nightmare this place was. Those caskets will not go to waste because
when someone buys this funeral home they will get to keep all of the contents
in the place. Those gurney’s were pretty gross🤮. Made me sick just looking
at that place. Thank goodness they closed this place down and took away
the owners license. The owner was a sadist and a stupid head (I can’t say
what I want to say here on TH-cam). You have to have respect and compassion
for the dead and this person had neither. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Stay safe out there.
Well nobody complained or caught diseases because they were already dead
@@HeadNtheClouds LOL
Can you give us some examples or reasons why you say that?
Holly shit dude this is one of the best abandoned spots I saw
Def one of our favorite funeral homes! Thanks for watching.
Good job on this video! It loos like it was once a nice funeral home, the owners let the small problems turn into giant problems! With some loving care and respect it will become a beautiful funeral home again.
That’s a pretty clean funeral home not a sign of dust!!
That’s what I was going to say compared to the other video’s I’ve seen
That is what I was thinking, for to be closed for a couple of years everything sure seems to be dust free.
I question the validity of this video...
Thank you so much for taking me along on the tour!!
It's good to know that there are countless explorers who go to abandoned funeral homes and check the interiors. In the Philippines where I live, abandoned funeral homes are very rare and most funeral home owners take along the items with them if they ever decide to close down a funeral home. Great video indeed. Thanks so much!😉😊
at kung meron man abandonadong puneraria siguradong kalunos lunos itsura non. malinis pa nga to kung tutuusin, kung sa pinas to malamang nanggigitata sa dumi
Awesome! These are the best finds. They just give ya the feels.
They really do 👻 haha thank you for watching!
All the blood and fluids during embalming go into the sewers....they don't do anything special with the fluids,just flush it away..different fluids for different cases
🥒
They have to have those big caskets for bigger people.
Great Video and a very clean abandoned home by comparison for what we see online
Seems to me that things are extremely clean and dust free for it to have been closed for a couple of years, and who has been paying the electric bill all of this time?
Great question!! Who also pays the mortgage..taxes..etc. shouldn't these places be auctioned off and their contents?? The beautiful caskets could be donated to families in need...so much good could come out of these abandoned places....why r they left to sit and eventually decay?
Neck Restraints? Slabs? Old chool embalming machine? In the trade embalmers use a head block to rest the head on the embalming table. It's a porcelaine table, not slab. The white embalming machines are called Porti-Boys which became popular in the early 1900s. That "Old School" machine was actually a new invention by Edwards Equipment in St. Louis, Missouri. I remember when my uncle installed it in his preperation (we don't call them embaling rooms) room in 1967. It's called a Duotronic Machine. It offers a little more control in injecting fluids.
The instruments you labled as autopsy, are actually actually forceps. The ones with the the holes are called arterial clamps. We use them to lock the injection canula into the artery we're injectng the arterial fluid into.
Shame on the owner who left that funeral home in such deplorable conditions. Especially the preperation room. Shame on you for makng this video and using words such as creepy. College graduates with a degree in Mortuary Science realize they are helping bereaved families transition through the loss of a loved one. God knows we're not in this profession for the money, or because we think it's cool to work on dead human bodies. I see a lot of bad things in this profession. Especially the death of a child. Many nights I hear the wailing of a parent when they see their child in the casket.
The sad part is viewers of your video will remember your trip to the "creepy" funeral home and label anyone who works in the industry a creep.
In all honesty, it's not that gross just really sad 😞.
Still trying to figure out why the hell I watch these videos.
Same lmao
Hell yeah Rob great video !! I was just in one last weekend creepy as hell…was there by myself you know the vibe! Keep up the good work brother!!!
It's called a head block/chalk so the head is in the right high and angle
Awww the history made me so sad
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for always watching Claire!
That is a vault display only , those are not urns. That is a baby casket/vault in one.
Thank you for sharing this amazing funeral home.
Thank you for the support!
Wonder why they didn't take the caskets. Really enjoyed your abandoned funeral home video! Just subscribed to your channel.
Very interesting find 🤔of this abandoned funeral home. Thanks for sharing.
I agree when this happens they should give all caskets to people that can’t afford burial they charge to much to bury its bad enough u loss a love one God help us all
Awesome video, Bob and company!!
That is a baby casket, you are correct. Very, very sad to see!
Caskets should never be that small. I was always paranoid when my kids were babies because someone I knew had to bury her first baby. He was born with Anencephaly, meaning most of his skull and brain were missing.
Awesome tour!
Love these videos! Huge thank you for sharing👍🏻
You are so welcome! Hope you're subscribed.
@@abandonedcentral Been a subscriber for a long time, also bells on. Just can't get enough of the funeral home stuff. I hit that 👍🏻as well! Keep these coming if possible👊🏻
I’m totally shocked that all these Items hasn’t been stolen
Especially the embalming fluids and caskets.
@@johnmanley2590 Maybe the fluids. But not sure who the fuxk would buy a casket from someone on Ebay.
@@ImGoingSupersonic I’m sure many people would. Or sell them through adds in the papers.
@@ImGoingSupersonic I would 🗿
That sink is where the fluids go. There are no "autopsy" tools. I'm guessing the are called prep tools. Great video. Thanks
Just one of those caskets go for a lot of money, I'm surprised nobody robbed that place yet.....
Why rob a casket. What are you going to do, sell it on Craig’s List? Lol
They go for upwards of $15,000 a piece......that's alot of inventory
all these caskets... thanks for sharing with us 🤘
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching.
Whoever this guy was he was very fortunate to use Pierce and Dodge embalming products. What do you say before he was called Jaundy balm. It’s a very good fluid to mix in with your other fluids and pour into the embalming machine when you have a jaundice case. And belive , me a jaundiced body is a bitch unless you are very experienced because the discoloration of the skin has already taken place via the failure of the liver before the person died plus there’s always a lot of swelling. I have seen in the experience bullshit embalmers completely ruined any chance of a visitation of the loved one because of the fact they started off with a white or light skinned individual and ended up with a black individual due to their incompetence with jaundice embalming.
what, no milk embalming? (obviously a joke!)
Jaundibalm is a godsend. Pre-injection seems to work well with a gluteraldehyde-based fluid too.
That wooden one is very nice indeed! 😊😊
Anybody else notice the “urinals” at the prep table in the beginning?
Yup, the blood and other hazmat, bodily, fluids are flushed into the sewage system in case you didn’t know.
Sometimes a large casket is for those who want to be buried together.
Against the law to co mingle human remains. But I have seen mother and child placed together
They should donate them to people who have suffered a loss and can't afford the furnural
Why would they just leave many thousands of dollars worth of inventory there? Could it not be sold or donated? How is the electricity still on after being closed for 2 years? Something isn't right,
I'm a bit skeptical here.... Honestly, looks a little "too clean" to be abandoned, unless it's freshly abandoned and the homeless, gangs and/or other urbexers haven't found it yet. I'm surprised. Other than the bathrooms, looks quite clean, plus it has power.
This is in a town with not many homeless or gangs that for sure. We def got to it before any other urbexers Most places keep the power on for 3-5 years as they try to keep the building in a sellable condition. The harsh heat in the summer will cause a building to mold very quick.
I'm an organ donor so I will probably be hacked up and hopefully be given new life to someone else what isn't usable will be burnt or buried , my soul and spirit will continue to grow after I have been gone.
@Abondedcentral .... dare I even ask how you find and the make entry into an abandoned funeral home? Seems it would have to be locked up pretty tight if it's in control of the state. Very cool look inside something most of us will never see.
Awesome 👍 totally intriguing. Thanx. ❤️n☮️ from the land down under 🤩
Yet another great one, Bob! I'm pretty sure I'll never look at a urinal the same way again!
Abandoned? Wow looks like its still used just a bit
WOW!😮
Amazing video!👍🏻
Your historical research of each location is such a HUGE DRAW for me! Today I'm binge watching many of your videos! Can't wait! Any suggestions as to where to start?
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much for the support! Have you watched our Detroit Documentary yet? That’s one of best videos. It’s titled Abandoned Detroit - City of Neglect
This comment section is awesome. As for the video, I think the urinal drain is actually a better idea as apposed to just a drain. Drains clog easier. I wonder what if they have a special name for them? Awesome video!
Wow, me & my cat enjoyed watching this Abandoned Funeral Home video & it always keeps my cat's ears up like an owl 🦉LOL. These folks who owned this funeral home was sooo SLOPPY!. Yeah the embalming is sooo GROSS! Ewww! If I were there, it would make me BARF! Anyway, thanks for sharing! 👍👍✌✌
That’s the cleanest abandoned place i have ever seen. The caskets don’t even have dust on them. I’m curious how you got in. This always seems sketchy to me.
Yes closed for two years with the utilities still on🤔 yeah right.
He totally admitted that he shouldn't be there someone should report him
They opened the door
@@johnhuey7670 No someone should not report him. If he was going to be in trouble for doing this he certainly wouldn't have put the video up online for all to see. IT is not owned by a person anymore. The government doesn't really care that he was there.
Hey,,Just Curious 🧐,,How is this place Abandoned and the Electric is on? And it does Show some unsanitary conditions,,Those caskets are in excellent condition,,This has got to be a real funeral home
Love your videos you get to the point and don’t spend forever talking about yourself like some explorers! You have a. New sub here! Hope the home reopens it’s in really good shape
Thanks for the sub! We greatly appreciate the support!
The mystery stains are probably blood mixed with embalming fluid. And yes that's a baby casket.
You don’t have to worry about the cops coming in and catching you! Ain’t no way they will come in there!!! Lol
Italian awful that the owner ruined this place, and people trusted them
Dude I worked at funeral homes for quite a few years, and some of the shit that goes on, seems borderline illegal, and as far as I know it was, but the place I mentioned below, has been I'm the news for illegal activities, when I worked there the owner was Tony Edwards, check into it see what you can find out, by the way.. love your videos
Def going to look into it! Thanks for watching Marty!
@@abandonedcentral no problem, I believe their still in business, and that's hard to believe, I'd be more than happy to fill you in with what I know, and thank you for responding that's so awesome.
So this is how it ends um ....and I'm a clean freak ...
😐😐
I wonder if the huge casket could be for two people....say if a husband and wife were killed in an accident or something?
Typically no. Those are called "Goliath" caskets, designed for those who are morbidly obese. They are often a nightmare to move around because of the size, plus many don't fit inside of a door at random places like churches. Putting flowers on the lid is insane since the lid is *huge*.
Yes and a parent dies (say in a car accident) and the children died also they can be buried together....so sad but it's life and death isn't it??
@@katherineleonowski7289 Very sad!
@@katherineleonowski7289 They would still put them in a normal casket. The big casket is made for a morbidly obese person. It's a PITA to move around and deal with. Plus it costs far more than a regular casket. It holds 1,000 pounds. Most people 2 or 3 don't add up to that much weight. I've seen parents buried with their children in normal sized caskets though.
Casket is so big makes you wonder if will even get in the hearse !
Would love to have one of those caskets and a hearse,if there's any. Wonder where this place is located.
Excellent video 👍👍
The owner probably left some bills behind, too. The wooden casket probably was the least expensive. Sometimes wooded caskets are used for viewing the deceased before they are cremate.
Ugh. So disgusting. I about lost my appetite.
The rattling off of product usage 😂
Why don't they donate the unused caskets to families that can't afford them, and has money issues. Don't understand that.
I am soooo happy i found this channel. Love funeral homes & other abandoned places
Ok, that was just about the Creepiest statement I ever read! And why would anyone upload a tour of an abandoned mortuary and then advise people NOT to click on it?
Excellent video
They won't go to waste..whoever bought the place will sell them
7:07 That's a small casket for an infant. My grandniece died 2 weeks after birth from a rare heart defect that was inoperable, and she was placed in a casket like that one. :(
I like this video is a excellent what you talking about the funeral home too bad that they close it down I like all your videos they're very excellent that embodying room be clean and sanitize after what is prepared body those caskets with a lot of money that is an oversight casket for who suffered obesity it's burial vaults
Would love a casket, unused of course
I have sooo many questions. If it’s been shut down for a couple of years, how are the lights still on? Like who’s paying the bill? And why is it still left as if they came in and closed it down that day, and never returned? Did they not have the time to even remove all of the equipment? Like somebody can literally come in and take a never used casket, take it to the funeral home that has their loved one and say I’ve already bought a casket… just so much😞
Yep.
That place isn't abandoned. This is staged.
The city sometimes pays it or it's on a grid
It looks like it can be saved and reopened to serve the community again. Some heavy intense cleaning and disinfecting should be done soon before this building is lost to neglect.
It was recently purchased after we filmed this video. Looks like someone is trying to save it.
@@abandonedcentral Thats good to hear! And those caskets are in excellent shape! Wow
Awesome 👍😎
Not a neck restraint, but head rests !!!!
I hope you are pretty proud of yourself
That's good it was shut down for being disgusting u have to always be sanitary
You don't actually. There's sanitary and there's clean enough to meet state board criteria.
An embalming room doesn't have to sanitize like you may think since there is no risk to the deceased. Transferring disease from one body to another is not a concern.
However, there is a minimum standard for the living who enter that room - the embalmers. There should always be PPE worn, so it doesn't need to be like an operating room, but there shouldn't be random obvious risks either.
i like the casket with the doves flying above my head == those things look really comfy 💕💕👀🤭
Thanks for checking out our video!
Modern caskets are... not really that comfortable for anyone who can feel the inside.
I've been in a few, and they are absolutely back killers!
Abandoned,looks good for businesses to me!!!
This is gross, some people are shady af.
Worked in the funeral home industry. My place was very clean and professional but still hey, at the end of the day, it ain't pretty.
I loved it when you called the big casket " Fat Daddy " Lol.... I worked for Batesville casket Comp. which all those are Batesville caskets except for the baby casket. I'm sure that funeral home owed us alot of money. Like a lot of funeral homes we had, many owed us $$$$$$$$$$$
Love these videos
Thank you for watching! Make sure to subscribe if you aren't already. We drop a new video every Sunday Crystal.
Another sweet score 😁
Thanks for watching Michael!
All the time 😁
Breathe all of those good fumes in
Old funeral homes are the best
Death ain't creepy. It's part of life a actually.
Toujours un véritable moment de détente🎬🔬🌌🙏
This was a good one.. cool..
Thank you for watching!
Yes that is a baby casket. Baby's are not required to be placed in a heavy sealed box
So the new owners did this wrong shame on them for this wrong doing to this funeral home
That place would shit me up. Sorry. Be safe please?
I really liked the dark green casket and I bet it costs over $10,000 ,
I could just see myself in the navy casket, it looks really smart.
Looks alot cleaner than the others.
Great video. The equipment seems to be old and outdated.
No not really
No. You were right. That was a baby casket.
