    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.

    It's terrible that people vandalize the graves like that. I'm in Calif. but my husband's grandparents are actually buried in that cemetery.
    The reason there's no names is exactly what you said you hoped wasn't the case. The family or whoever bought that spot would have to pay to put the names back. The remains would have been put back in there and then the cemetery put the blank marble back just like they would put the dirt back if someone had dug up a grave. They couldn't be "moved" to a different space because they can only be placed in the space purchased for them. The one exception would be if the family paid to have the remains removed and cremated instead. The office at the cemetery would be able to tell you if they were no longer there if you knew the names. As a genealogist, I've spent a lot of time in cemeteries doing research and it's heartbreaking how many graves are just vandalized "for fun" with no respect for the dead or their loved ones..

      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.

      IT sue is too bad some A$$ wipes had to Vandalize a beautiful looking cemetery the question is did they steal the dead bodies ?????

      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.

    Maybe grandson knew grandma and grandpa were buried with a diamond and he and his friends tried to steal it? Just a thought!

      that's what I said to the effect.
      It sound like the tombs were
      specifically targeted and by
      someone who knew the
      deceased..

    • @tamiepilling4260

      Or something was deliberately buried for safe keeping only to be reclaimed for years later. 🤔

    • @janellemarieclark2780
      @janellemarieclark2780 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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.

    Will pre-plan one day and leaned toward a family mausoleum. Not anymore. Saw too many upkept, leaking, vandalized, sold, and abandoned. IMO Mausoleums are not "eternal" resting places. Glad I found this channel.

  • @Cheshyre.

    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.

  • @Ocelot1962
    @Ocelot1962 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm gobsmacked when I learn of people desecrating graves. I mean, who does that!?! The only word that comes close is reprobate.
    The biggest appeal of your channel, Lamont, is how you always respect the places you visit. You are not naive, revering the dead just because they're dead. In fact, you're brutally honest when visiting the graves of villains like Ken McElroy, the Bully of Skidmore. But the disdain you show is a righteous, dignified disdain that speaks for all of us. You don't lower yourself, doing things like spitting or relieving yourself on the graves, as that would desecrate the whole cemetery. I think I speak for all of your viewers when I say I appreciate that.
