Being in the business as a funeral director/embalmer, I deal with cemeteries all the time. I would hope that those deceased are not in there because I can't imagine after 3 years they haven't put the names on there. Upkeep can be costly but no excuse for that. Thank you for all you do, Lamont!!❤❤. Peace out✌️
@@rogerstlaurent8704 , you dont even know what a green burial is . Waste of money is supporting a reg burial . Green burial is a few thousand $$$ cheaper than reg burial
As teens. We hung out in the cemetery at night. Listened to music and smoke cigs. We never vandalized anything tho. Never had the desire and honestly cannot figure out why anyone would do so. Very cruel. Love your vids Lamont!
As teens, my friend and I would go walk our local cemetery and cry when we found graves of babies/children. Odd pastime, but that's what we did from time to time.
I lived near a grave yard, we played & hung out but didn't disrespect or destroy anything. One grave had a bench for sitting. So peaceful & calm. Let the dead rest in peace.

it's a shame dead people can't see any peace! when I was a kid I went to cemetery's and just looked at the headstones not desecrate them . great video telling about this disturbing thing that happened! take care Lamont!
Lately after my mom passed away I've been depressed, but watching Lamont's channel has certainly helped me get through hard times.god bless you Lamont and stay safe brother!
This is a rare happening. Burning yoir loved ones remains isnt a good idea. My uncle owned a funeral home for decades and has been in the business for as long. He said you are getting the ashes of hundreds of people, not just your loved one. The oven is not sanitized and pressure washed after every cremation. Just saying.
There is a mausoleum here in cullman Alabama that has been abandoned by the owners and the building was not vented and some coffins have exploded. My neighbor owns heritage funeral home here in cullman and she has removed and buried several coffins from there.
@@2009jadeorchid Perhaps the chemicals from the type of embalming fluids used along with & the Methane gas from the body’s own fluids & decomposing tissue, can cause these types of explosions .
@ One MercilessMing It reminds me of the original or first episode of the old Dark Shadows series. A lowlife character named Willy breaks into the mausoleum/grave of the Collins Family which is somewhere on the Collins Family estate. He does this to steal the jewelry of Barnabas Collins which is still supposed to be on the body. However in his criminal quest he unleashes the Vampire Barnabas Collins and gives him new life and so starts the beginning of Dark Shadows.
@Juan Cervantes Is that how it started? I never saw the beginning. My mother didn't allow TV during the daytime. I was a teenager who had a summertime babysitting job. I watched it then. But I REALLY loved the movie.
My thoughts exactly. To take that much effort to vandalize a casket means it probably was targeted for what was inside it. Sad, but people will do anything when desperate.
I hope those people who vandalised those 2 coffins in the mausoleum are cursed for the rest of there life’s, it’s so evil and disrespectful, it’s costs so much to bury or cremate your loved ones. I hope they put the name tags back on. RIP to all those who suffered. Very clean cemetery. Thanks Lamont. Xxx
I really enjoyed this one. Its so sad when they have died so young never to have lived a full life. The scum that destroys a person grave will get theirs Karma it always comes around. Thank you Lamont you stay safe always ❤️
Coffin failure is always nasty. I've seen other crypts where the fluids had dripped down the wall. Also the smell from that is enough to make you vomit. I wish they had caught the person or people that did that. Such disrespect. I hope that person can rest in peace now. Thanks Lamont. Good video. It's a nice cemetery.
This is horrible when a person can’t Rest In Peace with out being attacked by criminals. That person or persons involved are the lowest of the low life. Stay safe in your travels Lamont ✌️
It breaks my heart to see any Cemetery or Mausoleum that has been vandalized by people who are heartless and they should be brought to justice. My prayers go out to everyone that's buried at the cemetery or mausoleum and to the families.💐💐 RIP J.P. “Big Bopper” Richardson (Jiles Perry Richardson, Jr.) (24 Oct 1930- 3 Feb 1959) (aged 28) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family. 💐💐
What is wrong with people. I was raised to respect those who have passed away. Good video to shed light on this. Love your videos. Always done with respect.
I remember Babe Zaharias from a TV movie back in the 1970s - she was played by husband & wife team, Susan Clark & Alex Karras. She died young of cancer and in the end of her life she came out as one of the first people to talk about cancer publicly. She was an amazing athlete - excelling in every sport.
for the most part, but it still has it's issues. Many older graves are almost impossible to find, they get neglected and end up getting covered up. We have had 2 bad floods in the last 10 yrs and nearly all of the cemetery was under standing water for days, the lower lying areas have never been properly restored. It really does need some maintenance work. But I give credit to the lawn crew, they work hard and do a pretty good job.
I cannot wrap my head around the depravity of disturbing someone's resting place. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It is shameful and disgusting. Lamont- thank you for sharing this. Appreciate what you do.
The cemetery my grandparents are buried at has a code that has to be entered on a keypad to get into the mausoleum. Only the families of those who are interred there are allowed to know the code.
I remember that video you did, where you talked about how you learned your lesson about not spitting on graves. That you had spat on the grave of an executed criminal and he followed you back and haunted you. I can't help but to wonder if, God willing, a little justice didn't follow that person(s) who desecrated those graves and coffins? That may not have been pretty.
I can't understand what goes through those sickos minds...vandalising people's resting place...shame on you whoever you are. Thank you Lamont for sharing 🙂👍💖 ps wouldn't Babe have been 55 the year she died?
My girlfriend's grandparents bought their crypt over 30 years ago at $7,500 each. Today's price would be 4 times that..Their names will be added when the time comes..It takes a really sick person to destroy someone's final resting place.
This is the reason why My wife and I are going to be cremated and our remains will be buried in the ground. Mausoleums are not a good place to be interned in do to Vandals, weather such as a tornado, leakage from the vaults. RIP to all who are buried at this cemetery. Also Lamont it's ok to forget your hat. Baldness is cool and slick 😎.
You'd have thought the CCTV would have caught whoever done that UNLESS it WASN'T installed until after they broke into them 🤔🤔🧐🧐!! Which what seems to happen over here in the 🇬🇧 when places get broken into or vandalised.
there were no cameras anywhere in the cemetery. Until a double break in at the newer mausoleum near the front entrance in Oct of 2015 (I think), Urns were stolen and oddly later recovered from a mentally challenged young man who said voices told him to take them and care for them. Cameras were installed in that mausoleum afterward. My sons and uncle are there. My uncle is one of the ones who got to do a lil after death traveling. We were very lucky to have him returned. Crack heads often steal urns to sell off for scrap metal to buy more drugs. How sick is that? Cant be good for one's karma I would imagine.
Why on earth would anyone want to be "buried" above ground, in a mausoleum?? Look at all those disgusting fluids draining out of every "grave"! Unless a body is burned, or put back in the earth, it's not truly "buried" in my mind's eye.
wow we had cemetery vandalism here in Central Illinois where a small group of individuals were stealing decorations including floral wreaths, brass/bronze vases, etc.
We in Australia 🇦🇺 have had vandalism of head stones but not sure if a grave or an internment has ever been desicrated....it is disgusting how anyone could do this I do hope the person or persons are caught
Watching from the uk 🇬🇧 some people just don’t have respect…I have a friend and her grandma grave was constantly being robbed rosary beads ECT…so now my friend only leaves flowers 🌺 people should be allowed to leave whatever they like to leave on their loved ones resting places…
Well, if the chip in the slab is where the vandals pried it open it has to be the original slab. It don't look like any lettering was ever there. Could it be the slab was reversed because the vandals damaged the lettering? Lamont, you ask why someone would do such a thing? As far as I know grave robbers have been doing this since the Pyramids were robbed and before. Today, I suspect it's druggies looking for a ring or necklace to pawn/sell for drug money. Anyone can read the obituaries and attend a funeral. In this case I think it was someone who was at the funeral and knew there was valuables with the 2 deceased. Has to be a good reason these two crypts were chosen. I bought, in 2001, a crypt for two in the mausoleum but it is located inside the chapel/church with the Alter, holy water,. about 80 pews. The nuns are there all the time. The crypt is in the wall 3rd up from the floor and 4th row in from a window that overlooks the cemetery. My wife of 50 years, passed 7/2018 and told me not to put her favorite rings or anything of value with her but thieves have no way of knowing that for sure unless they attend the funeral.😢😢😢 Update, it looks like the original slabs were not pried open but smashed with hammers as seen by all the white marble pieces under the coffin. The chipped one we see was probably rejected long ago but was suitable for a replacement for the smashed ones. That's probably why we see no stains where lettering once was, there never was any on these replacement coverings. I think the coffins were put back in the same crypts and unless family complain the names will never be replaced. 😢😢😢
Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the airplane that killed JP Richardson. But JP was sick and Waylon gave up his seat for him. As sad as it is that we lost 3 great early rock stars in that crash, I'm glad Waylon Jennings got to live. He created some awesome music in his career. His song, "Are you sure Hank done it this way" was #1 on the country charts on the day I was born. Great video, as always.

Thank you for covering this. It just astounds me what people can do. Regarding Baton Rouge, I've seen some vids on how absolutely appalling the conditions at Sweet Olive Cemetery are. I actually was in tears watching. Have you ever been there? If you ever go, tell them how sorry I am that they are so disrespected. 😢
Another respectful look by our man Lamont. Thank you, Lamont, for giving us a glimpse into the lives and deaths of a few of the forgotten.........Peace Out ! !
They knew something valuable was in there . They probably was at the funeral as a kid and remembered the interred person had something valuable in the casket or seen some pictures of the viewing . Just guessing 😆 but who ever did that , gotta be crazy !
Just about everyone is saying the same thing or could be something other like getting even with a family love to know more about the family and the story
I relented and unlocked the laboratory door. The cadavers were in brown leather body bags on stainless steel gurneys. I unzipped one of the bags to give him a look, revealing a Caucasian old lady. During the preservation process, her "calvarium" (top of skull) had been removed so that her brain could be taken out. Unsatisfied with just looking, this guy grabbed her hair and lifted the top of her skull up, laughing. Feeling badly for this disrespect I told him "Alright put it back." and zipped her back up! 😮
Do you think the crypt/ grave could have been targeted due to other reasons. Like a vendetta or some for of grievance with the deceased or family? I do enjoy all of your vids and binge watch on my night duty. Thanks for keeping me company and entertain. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing your research. All the best form UK 🇬🇧
doubt it, this mausoleum is an older one and most of the people entombed there were older folks who died some years ago. A lot of the big family names from Beaumont's history can be found on these walls. There is a river with a park and boat launch next to the cemetery as well as a large low income housing complex across the street, that makes for some sketchy activity going on in the area at night. Odds are they had no idea who's grave they were disturbing or why.
So sad and disrespectful about those caskets being pulled out like that😢 They were no doubt drunk or high and said let’s see what a dead body looks like. As a teen in the 1970’s,we occasionally hung out in a cemetery and drank beer. But never in our times there,did we ever want to do what they did to those people.
Brother Lamont.....I appreciate you checking back to see if the cemetery staff had restored the damage that was done. I also appreciate you giving glory to God for your life. You're a good guy Lamont thank you for your invaluable service to our great nation.
I would be looking into family members, why cause it looks like they were looking for something, maybe something that was put in the casket gold or something of real value. Its a sense less crime.
Graverobbing is just a nasty, evil thing to do! It's nice to see that order was restored, and the rest of the tour was very interesting. Such a wide variety of people!
I personally think if you desecrate or vandalize a graveyard or a gravesite karma will come to you in a bad way let these people rest in peace may they haunt you in your sleep
Yea know sometimes I get bored of what's on TV at night so I open up my You Tube and watch me some Lamont at Large, I love this Channel, and it's not because of being morbid or anything Lamont has very interesting stories and insight of these cemeteries and who are buried there and why, Good Job Lamont, and I know there is more to the story of the Big Bopper, some had made an accusation that someone on the Plane was carrying a gun and they where playing with it and it went off and Big Bopper might have been hit at least that was the rumor at the time, and they even dig up his body to see if there was a bullet hole in him, and they found none, but what was interesting is that the Boppers Son is who gave the permission to dig him up, ( Don't recall the official word) but they said ONE that his body was still remarkably preserved, mind you this happened in the 80s and two it was the very first time the Boppers son had seen his Father, what a way to first see your Dad, But any then he was re-buried where he is now . I will come back and make the correction of when the Big Bopper was removed from his original resting place. BE BACK SOON!! OK, the Big Bopper was Exhumed in 2019 not the 80 like I previously mentioned, but like they say on the video which you can find here on YOU TUBE is that after 60 years of being buried he was in good condition, when they exhumed the casket in was in 3 feet of water, but remarkably the casket was of good material and kept all the water and air out.

I think the coffins were put back in the same crypts and unless family complain the names will never be replaced. 😢😢😢
Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the airplane that killed JP Richardson. But JP was sick and Waylon gave up his seat for him. As sad as it is that we lost 3 great early rock stars in that crash, I'm glad Waylon Jennings got to live. He created some awesome music in his career. His song, "Are you sure Hank done it this way" was #1 on the country charts on the day I was born. Great video, as always.
Waylon felt guilty about that for years too.
I hope you get to and pass 500k sub's before the year ends! You deserve to be at a million by now! You are one of my favorite channels along with Fascinating Graveyards!
So many people have lost their moral compass.
Sick that anyone would do something like that to a grave. Thank you Lamont for doing this video
How can people do that to the dead, it's very sad .😢🇦🇺.
My wife and I purchased a traditional burial. The interment will put us 10 - 15 feet below the ground. Next to no chance some vandal could dig us up.
Thank you for covering this. It just astounds me what people can do. Regarding Baton Rouge, I've seen some vids on how absolutely appalling the conditions at Sweet Olive Cemetery are. I actually was in tears watching. Have you ever been there? If you ever go, tell them how sorry I am that they are so disrespected. 😢
Hey Lamont hope all is well my friend
Chantilly Lace, is a catchy tune, just read the Lyrics, funny as all get out.
My twin sister lives in Lubbock. That would be cool to see it on here. 😊
This is why a person should be buried instead of put in a coffin above ground.
Or cremated 🤷🏻♀️
Another respectful look by our man Lamont. Thank you, Lamont, for giving us a glimpse into the lives and deaths of a few of the forgotten.........Peace Out ! !
I thought my screen was a little bright😂😂
They knew something valuable was in there . They probably was at the funeral as a kid and remembered the interred person had something valuable in the casket or seen some pictures of the viewing . Just guessing 😆 but who ever did that , gotta be crazy !
Just about everyone is saying the same thing or could be something other like getting even with a family love to know more about the family and the story
I relented and unlocked the laboratory door. The cadavers were in brown leather body bags on stainless steel gurneys. I unzipped one of the bags to give him a look, revealing a Caucasian old lady. During the preservation process, her "calvarium" (top of skull) had been removed so that her brain could be taken out.
Unsatisfied with just looking, this guy grabbed her hair and lifted the top of her skull up, laughing. Feeling badly for this disrespect I told him "Alright put it back." and zipped her back up! 😮
So disrespectful 😢! My friend died few weeks ago at the age of 32 from cancer n someone has been stealing stuff we leave on her grave 😢
This makes me sick. What is wrong with people?!!
Do you think the crypt/ grave could have been targeted due to other reasons. Like a vendetta or some for of grievance with the deceased or family?
I do enjoy all of your vids and binge watch on my night duty. Thanks for keeping me company and entertain.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing your research. All the best form UK 🇬🇧
i was thing the same thing ????? wish there was more of the story about the family ????
doubt it, this mausoleum is an older one and most of the people entombed there were older folks who died some years ago. A lot of the big family names from Beaumont's history can be found on these walls. There is a river with a park and boat launch next to the cemetery as well as a large low income housing complex across the street, that makes for some sketchy activity going on in the area at night. Odds are they had no idea who's grave they were disturbing or why.
@@donnaanderson2 good point on what you said the question is is this the first time this has happened at this cemetery ????
So sad and disrespectful about those caskets being pulled out like that😢
They were no doubt drunk or high and said let’s see what a dead body looks like. As a teen in the 1970’s,we occasionally hung out in a cemetery and drank beer. But never in our times there,did we ever want to do what they did to those people.
Love your videos LaMont. You have a good heart man.
I agree
Oh my God I think I am going to be sick, what is wrong with people. This is nothing but evil
If caught, they should rot in jail. That is beyond reprehensible!!
Please more videos from strange graves.
I like it to see.
You make it really good.

Not even the dead are safe from crime.
Brother Lamont.....I appreciate you checking back to see if the cemetery staff had restored the damage that was done. I also appreciate you giving glory to God for your life. You're a good guy Lamont thank you for your invaluable service to our great nation.
Every day I am amazed at what people are capable of.
Shame on whoever is responsible!
Thanks Lamont for covering this.
It's a shame!
I would be looking into family members, why cause it looks like they were looking for something, maybe something that was put in the casket gold or something of real value. Its a sense less crime.
Graverobbing is just a nasty, evil thing to do! It's nice to see that order was restored, and the rest of the tour was very interesting. Such a wide variety of people!
I read that at some point they exhumed The Big Bopper and he looked just like he did when they buried him. Which is pretty amazing.
Video on TH-cam about it.
I personally think if you desecrate or vandalize a graveyard or a gravesite karma will come to you in a bad way let these people rest in peace may they haunt you in your sleep
Maybe someone who knew that the person was buried with valuables or cash?😢
This is uncalled for. What is wrong with people doing this to graveyards? Thank you Lamont.
There should be more security at the outdoor private moausoleums such as bars. They can be easily compromised.
This is absolutely disgusting. I cannot fathom disrespecting the dead in this manner. My heart breaks for the deceased person's family
Lamont, can you research and do a story on Osceola of the Fla Seminole Indians. His capture and death was a national news story in 1838
Will do
Yea know sometimes I get bored of what's on TV at night so I open up my You Tube and watch me some Lamont at Large, I love this Channel, and it's not because of being morbid or anything Lamont has very interesting stories and insight of these cemeteries and who are buried there and why, Good Job Lamont, and I know there is more to the story of the Big Bopper, some had made an accusation that someone on the Plane was carrying a gun and they where playing with it and it went off and Big Bopper might have been hit at least that was the rumor at the time, and they even dig up his body to see if there was a bullet hole in him, and they found none, but what was interesting is that the Boppers Son is who gave the permission to dig him up, ( Don't recall the official word) but they said ONE that his body was still remarkably preserved, mind you this happened in the 80s and two it was the very first time the Boppers son had seen his Father, what a way to first see your Dad, But any then he was re-buried where he is now . I will come back and make the correction of when the Big Bopper was removed from his original resting place. BE BACK SOON!! OK, the Big Bopper was Exhumed in 2019 not the 80 like I previously mentioned, but like they say on the video which you can find here on YOU TUBE is that after 60 years of being buried he was in good condition, when they exhumed the casket in was in 3 feet of water, but remarkably the casket was of good material and kept all the water and air out.
That one grave stone got to me, the one that said “our gift, God’s gift” idk why
What Up, Lamont! Looking forward to a video today!
I like it when you tell stories about how they died Makes it real interesting
Embarrassing and shameful human’s. Great video friend.
Omgosh.....why would ANYONE disturb a person while they're in their final rest!!!???😢
And a health issue is not just the only issue. No respect for the dead, why was that person singled out to be desecrated, this is pure evil.
A cliffhanger needs more info on the story
