Mausoleums are designed to encapsulate a coffin while allowing fluids to properly drain without creating a smell or mess within the mausoleum. I don't know what the owner of this place was thinking, stack bodies on a shelving setup. That place must have stunk to high heaven since day one. I can't imagine how families were able to visit their loved ones with smells like that going on there. I'm equally surprised that this mausoleum, and its shelving system, even passed building code during its construction.
Sebastian Bolduc How does a person visit a loved one in a mausoleum if the person isn't there. I've had many family members placed in mausoleums, I don't go visit them because I know they are not there. And I also know, they are not gonna sit up and say "oh,hello, how're you today".
I'm having a hard time deciding whether Clyde Booth was well-meaning but poorly-planned this endeavor, or if he was a flim-flam man. I also don't know why he did not have his son's remains exhumed so that he could demonstrate his faith in his dream. I'm just glad those who were interred there were transferred to nearby cemeteries.
@@sebastienbolduc5654 I can't just throw Gramma in the garbage, The garbage men who pick up the garbage might think Gramma is trash.... Can't have that now can we?
I should have done more research but I'm not sure if the owners got in trouble for this or not. They 100% should be put in jail for leaving these bodies in the building once they closed the business down.
The owner left his estate to his guardian when he died in 2009, but that guardian never paid the taxes. I feel sorry for the mother of her baby’s remains.
Absolutely crazy! No drainage systems? Stacking caskets on metal shelving? OMG! I can only imagine the smell! The seepage! What the Hell were they thinking? And who would even want to be buried or bury a loved one in a creepy, disgusting place like that?
@@alexiswaller3065 Nonsense. The human body is 60% + water. Embalming only removes blood and body cavity fluids. Those fluids are then replaced with embalming fluid - about 9 liters on average. This is done to temporarily preserve the body for things like transport or public viewings prior to burial. Emphasis on the word "temporary". Eventually, even with embalming, corpses continue to decompose and, as tissues break down, they become fluid. That fluid has to eventually go somewhere, especially if the burial site is a mausoleum crypt. This is why mausoleum crypts (decent ones) are equipped with vent holes and drainage systems which carry odors and fluids out into external waste repositories, usually the sewer systems.
"Who would even want to be buried or bury a loved one in a creepy, disgusting place like that? The Canadian actor John Candy (1950-1994) is buried in a mausoleum in California among many others. It makes me ask this question, "Why the hell did he agree to be buried in California instead of back in Ontario where he was born?"
What’s the most creepy to me is that this place isn’t even that old. 1992? I was a preteen at the time and I’m still a young person. These are all relatively new dead bodies, not centuries old. So sad that this has happened to the remains of many peoples relatives. The infants corpse they found probably still has parents who are alive and kicking, for sure. So so sad💔
I have no idea what sort of health codes govern the operation of a mausoleum, but whoever ran this place was criminally clueless. Caskets on open shelving units? Who were they kidding? Was no one inspecting this place?
Anybody that’s ever smelled a decomposing human body knows how awful it must have smelled in that place. Its a smell you never forget and takes literally 2-3 days before you can get it out of your nose. I noticed somebody had put lime in some of the caskets.
@@livewithnick one of my uncles was in the Coast Guard. One day a dead body washed up on the shore. He grabbed the guy's hand to pull him up. My aunt said he had the odor on his hand two days later. Mom said he couldn't sleep that night.
I have seen a few stories now about abandoned Mausoleums. Absolutely horrific stories regarding the lack of caring for those 'left behind' in these abandonments. These videos have made me actually sit and think about mausoleums on the whole. Ultimately, and with time to think things through, it makes perfect sense that many become abandoned. I dont think this is something that has occurred before the last couple of decades. I think Law needs to be developed that will provide a legal guide to properly deal with these abandonments thus preventing situations such as these. Perhaps humans have reached a point where mausoleums are no longer a feasible end of life option.
This is why my mother insisted on being cremated when she died in 2017. Her ashes, neat and clean, are in a lovely wooden box in my sister's living room. I know for religious reasons many people opt for a casket burial. But in the wrong hands, this is exactly what can happen. Ugh. And so terrible for the family to discover this has been done to their dear ones...
Not sure if it's the same everywhere, but the cemetery we buried my father in required a cement vault to be put in the ground and the casket is placed inside of it since caskets alone don't protect a body for very long. Similar in most mausoleums - casket is enclosed in marble or whatever. Never seen anything like racks of caskets! It's crazy!
This place had to be the mobile home park of cemeteries. Nothing about it was permanent. You can't build a mausoleum with a 20 year life expectancy. Flawed from the start.
I’m shocked at the Price tags in the coffins. That’s not long ago, but I guarantee the coffins quoted in my relatives funeral prices started at 10k and up! That’s a huge story by itself. Funeral parlors/companies etc are literally robbing grieving families by over charging on caskets
There are many funeral homes like this that are abandoned, folks who operate this are only after $$, this mausoleum is a mess, the smell would kill, Feel bad for the deceased who did not get a proper burial, Almost every state has tougher regulations, but Zero Oversight, but I can tell you CA has periodic inspections from the state regulators, for continuance and renewal, they also have a hotline with State Board, for complains and violations. The penalties will result in State prison for the operators/owners/corporations
I feel really strongly that instead of describing these "things" as disgusting, you guys could be much more sensitive. We are of the Earth, each of us. These bodies are the remains of human beings, sacred tissue from our one race. They are literal miracles, and they did not ask to be put in this position.
the things that are dsgusting are not the dead, but the sutiation they are , and were, in. Also the smell wouud be unbearable. Dont tip too far the other way, lets stay honest.
I wouldn't go in ANY old abandoned places without at least hazmat rated protective pants and boots, much less an old mausoleum that could have old chemicals in it and sharp objects 😳 But awesome video! I would love to explore a place like that
This place when in operation must have had a faintly foul smell to it. This design with Costco-type racks for permanent entombment was insane. Embalmed bodies during the decomposition process form gases that can pop the lids on coffins and cause leaking. Like the commentator before me, I can't imagine how this ever passed code.
This kind of thing will always continue to happen when you have lazy states that don't do their job in the first place by properly inspecting. Especially when a place is abandoned. There is supposed to be paperwork and state regulations and state inspections to prevent this very thing from happening. The state should pay for all the bodies to be properly buried now. Due to the state's total criminal negligence. And of course the previous owner should be also in prison. Being charged for criminal gross negligence. I know if I was a family member of one of the deceased left there to rot I would be suing the state and the previous owner of the establishment.
Yes I agree. I was in the U. S. Army infantry. That's why we buried the bodies in mass Graves in some war's. The disease's you can get from death. Of the enemy.
@@francisgonzales3590 TH-cam doesn't allow sharing links, but here is a quote from a page I found about it. "Friends of a beloved Philadelphia photographer are mourning the woman’s death after she was fatally swept away in a storm drain during a flash flood last weekend. ".
Memorial Mound is #1 on my list of favorite funeral home/ mausoleums explored to date. The owner was the designer of this concept of stacking bodies without a way for them to drain properly. Just makes you wonder how that could ever pass code. I know what it could never pass, that'd be the sniff test....😱🤢🤮
Never understood why people go into places like this totally unprepared. I wouldn’t go into a place like this without a high quality mask, gloves and booties over my shoes. You never know what the hell you’re breathing/walking in/touching in a place like this. Cmon people.
This was poorly designed in the first place. Mausoleums are vented to stop the build up of foul odours, this could not be vented. Did the designer not think that BOTH bodies and coffins rot? making the racking system unsuitable.
Meat on the bones !! What a description she gave…that’s dreadful and the SECOND abandoned mausoleums in huge disrepair I’ve seen on utube this week…I’m appalled by authorities not checking periodically on these places…how would you feel about a loved one being left here?? Heaven help those poor souls and their trusting families…Horror doesn’t describe it!
Makes you wonder how long or how recent some of those bodies were actually in there.. if I were a criminal that would be a great place to hide or dispose of…ha! No one would think to look for a dead/missing person in a mausoleum or old broken caskets.. (sorry I watch a lot of criminal and forensic shows so my mind just went wandering when she said that) 😏
The man who built that place died in FL 17 years after opening that place. So for 23 years no one must have checked on their loved ones there and the owner abandoned it apparently. Had it not been for vandals I guess we would have never known about it.
Maybe they came. But they did not know what to do, or were old and afraid to get anger. I wouldn't know too, without telling to the news, and this is something many are shy of.

@@loisfreeman1646 he didnt. It was in his will to give it to his nephew who then couldn't /wouldn't pay the property tax. So at that point its the state who should be liable
How sad, this place is. How sad, this place was. It is so sad, how some people can be so disrespectful, to our dearly, departed. The owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves. I hope they went to prison.
It's a good idea but not enough planning went into this and each crypt should have been enclosed with some sort of drainage per crypt. The moisture was an issue too. I wonder if the owner ran out of money or this was the design? How did this pass City and County Codes?
With all the desecases going around the world! This people risk their lives by going into abandoned places like this without taking any protection from the odors or the kind of environment they get into! No masks! Or any kind of hazmat suits! They’re not only endangering their own lives but transmit decease to others! I would never get into places like that! That’s just insane!
I like that idea, being on display in a museum someday. Archaeology has always been an interest of mine so I could become an important archeological find.
@@fatonyalmitchell3281 That's the best observation yet. Who knows for sure what will happens to their body, their home and possessions after death. Even if you carefully plan it doesn't always go that way.
Now we know where to get a free coffin for home burial. Be careful. Not the kinda place you want to get locked in. I never thought of those caskets rusting. Somehow that seems so sad.
Government is at fault, this cannot happen because the owner died and his relatives couldn't pay the taxes at which point it was abandoned! Its just criminal! No respect for the souls that were supposed to be in their ETERNAL care! Where have our morals gone?
Interesting concept but I wouldn't be able to shove a loved one up in something like this. My luck, I'd go visit Grandma and this is when a Night of the Living Dead kinda moment goes down and I just cannot with all that kinda fun.
I'm disturbed by the description of this empty eyed young woman of the mausoleum as, "...an awesome place...one of the coolest spots I've hit thus far...checked off my bucket list". Really? So desecrated human remains are just another "cool" happening. Disgusting attitude.
I just wonder who in the world ever allowed this burial mound design to be approved? Caskets on metal racks up in the open air? Caskets in the earth have, well, the earth enclosing them from exposing the decomposition process from the outside environment. Mausoleums are designed in such a way that the gases, vapors and fluids which WILL be produced are vented and drained in a manner which is separated from the mausoleum interior, though even this is not beyond fail. But Memorial Mound? It combines the absolute WORST aspects of burial and mausoleums, with basically none of the protective features. Even if the place had stayed operational, what did they think was gonna happen to these suspended metal and wooden "soup" bowls in 50 to 100 years?
It truly astounds me that this can and does occur, a total lack of any level of government control or oversight. So where is the safety net for the deceased and their family’s when the owner of this facility decides for whatever reason they want out. It most certainly should not be allowed to occur. I am glad I live in Australia where there are strict guidelines for cemetery operation ‘s so this scenario will not be allowed to occur.
Are they sure the bodies are in there?, and if someone wouldn’t have broken in they wouldn’t have known that the body’s were about to fall through the caskets, and why did she say meat instead of flesh?

You can't charge the dead. The owner died ages ago .
@@hottnspiceyy didn't realize anyone had died. He might have had a business partner.!
@@loisfreeman1646 he didnt. It was in his will to give it to his nephew who then couldn't /wouldn't pay the property tax. So at that point its the state who should be liable

The moral of this story is either be buried in a well kept cemetery or be cremated certainly don’t ever be put in a mausoleum.
There are well kept mausoleums
How sad, this place is. How sad, this place was. It is so sad, how some people can be so disrespectful, to our dearly, departed. The owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves. I hope they went to prison.
Wow, not just 7 bodies were found, but 7 "deceased" bodies.
most, if not all, bodies are deceased
Same concept as going to see "live nude girls" right? I certainly would not want to see the alternative!
Why are these people not wearing protective gear and touching things without gloves. That can be very dangerous!!
It's a good idea but not enough planning went into this and each crypt should have been enclosed with some sort of drainage per crypt. The moisture was an issue too. I wonder if the owner ran out of money or this was the design? How did this pass City and County Codes?
With all the desecases going around the world! This people risk their lives by going into abandoned places like this without taking any protection from the odors or the kind of environment they get into! No masks! Or any kind of hazmat suits! They’re not only endangering their own lives but transmit decease to others! I would never get into places like that! That’s just insane!
It is sad but those souls of those individuals that passed are long gone all that you are seeing is a shell !! Hope they are with their lord
Just have your body buried in the earth. A mausoleum, even one rhat is cared for, won't prevent decay. That's what nature intended for living things.
Your kidding right ! Natural would be for animals to eat the bodys
Did she just put her finger in the coffin? That was dumb.
I probably would have touched also but with gloves 🧤 im a curious 🤔 person ‼️🤷
The caskets shown are for sale. Nobody's laid In them. The ones with the nasty lineinga those had body's.
Its unused
It was on her bucket list….🙄
Yes it was dumb. .
When you know all the answers you are ready for the box 😢
This is why I prefer cremation. Besides, there’s always a chance you can be ‘tutted.’ - Dug up thousands of years from now and put on display.
I like that idea, being on display in a museum someday. Archaeology has always been an interest of mine so I could become an important archeological find.
Eitherway you won't know about it if you already Dead ‼️🤷😂
@@fatonyalmitchell3281 That's the best observation yet. Who knows for sure what will happens to their body, their home and possessions after death. Even if you carefully plan it doesn't always go that way.
@@DavidSmith-sb2ix 😅😅I know ‼️I know I'm just be kidding 🔅😃 around
I'm with you I'm going to be cremated for sure
" ...7 deceased bodies in caskets." Uh. Just a reminder. Bodies in caskets are generally deceased.
I can’t believe this happened no respect for the dead or there family’s I hope these angels find peace my prayers are with them
Now we know where to get a free coffin for home burial. Be careful. Not the kinda place you want to get locked in. I never thought of those caskets rusting. Somehow that seems so sad.
Government is at fault, this cannot happen because the owner died and his relatives couldn't pay the taxes at which point it was abandoned! Its just criminal! No respect for the souls that were supposed to be in their ETERNAL care! Where have our morals gone?
That’s insane that they took out the bodies and left the rest there without disposing of those caskets
Yes very surprised they didn't clean out the entire building at that point.
So sad the family didnt spent just to end up being disrespected and abandon like this
Cremation is looking better and better.
Those 7 bodies could have been a whole family that wanted to be together
This was very creepy to have heard about. I feel so bad for those who weren't able to get the rest they deserved.
Interesting concept but I wouldn't be able to shove a loved one up in something like this. My luck, I'd go visit Grandma and this is when a Night of the Living Dead kinda moment goes down and I just cannot with all that kinda fun.
Good job guys!
This was so sad!
If you have your body cremated, you’ll never have to worry about your remains showing up on TH-cam
You know there's got to be some Spirits roaming around this area
I hope the owners or the people in charge of that facility will be prosecuted for full extent of the law
Funeral people are CREEPY, seeing these abandon funeral homes proves my theory.
I'm disturbed by the description of this empty eyed young woman of the mausoleum as, "...an awesome place...one of the coolest spots I've hit thus far...checked off my bucket list". Really? So desecrated human remains are just another "cool" happening. Disgusting attitude.
I just wonder who in the world ever allowed this burial mound design to be approved? Caskets on metal racks up in the open air? Caskets in the earth have, well, the earth enclosing them from exposing the decomposition process from the outside environment. Mausoleums are designed in such a way that the gases, vapors and fluids which WILL be produced are vented and drained in a manner which is separated from the mausoleum interior, though even this is not beyond fail. But Memorial Mound? It combines the absolute WORST aspects of burial and mausoleums, with basically none of the protective features. Even if the place had stayed operational, what did they think was gonna happen to these suspended metal and wooden "soup" bowls in 50 to 100 years?
Money talks
It truly astounds me that this can and does occur, a total lack of any level of government control or oversight. So where is the safety net for the deceased and their family’s when the owner of this facility decides for whatever reason they want out. It most certainly should not be allowed to occur. I am glad I live in Australia where there are strict guidelines for cemetery operation ‘s so this scenario will not be allowed to occur.
That's horrific 😢
Even in a poor country’s body of decese is treated with dignity what is going on in USA rich country?
I would be wearing x2 gloves
Imagine the smell coming from there
The deceased that were here deserved respect but they never got that
I've been beng watching videos like this all last summer.
Are they sure the bodies are in there?, and if someone wouldn’t have broken in they wouldn’t have known that the body’s were about to fall through the caskets, and why did she say meat instead of flesh?
I noticed the meat comment too.
Why not say meat because meat is what it is
Walked through that place at 2 in the morning once. That place is haunted af.
