- Memorial Mound opened in 1992 and was built as an underground mausoleum where family members and friends could visit their loved ones indoors and “underground.” If you never heard about the Memorial Mound, you might not even believe what happened here. The back story is disturbing to say the least. Back in 2015 a group of explorers got into the abandoned mausoleum and found 7 deceased bodies in caskets. Watch as we explore the abandoned Memorial Mound Mausoleum and tell you exactly what had happened here.
Rest In Paradise Rebecca. You are truly loved and missed by everyone. #Bwordliveson

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.

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.

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?
@@pastpresent2223 one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Your personal beliefs are just that, yours. Not everyone will have the same, its called respect and understanding.
This is very sad to me, I hate seeing the dead disrespected. The poor families being used and abused like that... Smh.
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.
@@abandonedcentral I agree. I was following not too long ago, but haven't heard anything about them.
This is an older case and I believe the business owner died, that is why
@@jamesmasin159 Ooh. That's sad then. Thanks for the info.
Anyone who has died I believe deserves the baseline respect of their corpse being taken proper care of!!!
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.
@Miriam Block
Gaurdian would have known that the owner has basically created shelves and not a mausoleum with proper drain
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?
There should be no seepage for one they remove all the body fluid during the embalming process and plug up your orafaces.
@@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.
The metal shelving behind the scenes
"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?"
@@Religious_manmaybe the majority of his family is in California
As you are they once were, as they are you will be! Respect for the departed ALWAYS!
That is such a true statement
Right.
Lol u got that quote from the 1403 movie. 😂
So sad

The board that is in charge of the perpetual care fund didn't care, they should be charged with negligence and desecration
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💔
"Alive and kicking."
I was 22.😭
The mother claimed the child's body and reburied her.
Yes the one I mentioned wasn't ancient either.
I can not imagine anyone thinking this would be a great resting spot for their beloved.
The only way this mound could pass building inspection is paying that inspector money to pass it. Awful.
Yes. The old "we didn't know it was abandoned" excuse. 😐
No different from underground mall in Atlanta
Some countries have loose bi laws
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.
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?
I would have thought the same but I've seen coffins on shelves from a hundred years ago and they're fine. They didn't rot through.
Unreal…. This is so cruel to do to the grieving families…
I don't think I would be touching anything inside there with my bare hands.
Me either 🤷 but gloves 🧤 I might 😅I'm stay curious 🤔
I agree. I wouldn't be touching things
The mold in this place will follow you the rest of your life. Off the charts on the creepy scale😱
Even camera tripod stand should have protection, wonder where it is standing
She also should have had on a respirator mask.
I cannot believe they didn’t dispose of the caskets they had found the bodies in.
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.
A casket sat in the open on a metal frame seems like a very temporary way to be "buried"
Poor people can't even rest in peace.
Well, they are, but their families won't.
The spirit is gone out of the body. Just like a butterfly that leaves his cocoon. Some sprits are resting and some are in torment..
Previously, potters' fields were created.🛐✝☦
That place was massively neglected after being abandoned and it's just a shame it got that way.
It really is. Thanks for watching!
All the Rusted caskets...makes you wonder, should you spend all those thousands of dollars on a casket to rust ? and Not leave the remains protected ?
Very true. Never seemed worth it to me.
Wooden casket, shroud, or cremation.
Nope and that's one more reason to get cremated.
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!
@@mandeeg4259 If someone told you a vault is going to protect a body, they lied to you. Bodies decay. No matter what you do, bodies decay.
That is a crying shame to leave those bodies in that place without dignity for them when they have family members too
I dont understand the point of the shelving system, isnt that unsanitary and toxic ? the caskets should be encapsulated?
Blows my mind
someone or ones must have been paid off to approve this place
It was just storage till burial !
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...
Only bad thing about cremation is you got other people's bones/ashes mixed in with your loved ones. Ruthless business, scummy.
@@Rizzbullahow😂 no. They burn only one coffin so... And you can see the process.
@@kiciakowak
It's a known fact they let multiple peoples ashes get mixed
@@kiciakowak
The ashes fall down into a box man. They'll burn like 4/5 people and split them up. Just Google the shit.
TRUTH.
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
Also they didnt have gloves or another boots...
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.
This is horrific. Horrific. No words.
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
Im shocked that SHE PUT HER BEAR FINGER ON THAT PRICE 🤢🤮
Wow that's disturbing 😳 I'm glad the photographer alerted authorities
There's no excuses to leave bodies abandoned in a place like this after they closed the doors. I'm a little surprised that these people's families or loved ones never knew where they were put when the place closed? Nobody Inspected the place in all these years?
I don't know if you realized it but it's actually a pretty rare thing for people to go visit Graves of their departed loved ones. Hardly ever happens.
@@thewiseguy3529 I dont
But some do visit and often. If you go into a Muslim Cemetery there are people who sit for hours at a time. I go visit my parents and husbands graves at least once a month.
@@proanimaluver6487 nor do I
@@bonniejohnson9513 that doesn't surprise me.
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
They don't care 🤷 they get new 🆕 business in another person name 📛 and still run business from behind the scenes 🤷‼️

You have guts going in a place like that
The dead can't hurt you
Or really stupid …
@@maxpayne6466 not just the dead its nasty in there contamination its a hazardous place to be in
I want to know why you two aren’t wearing any protective coverings on your faces, hands and feet? Need a whole Hazmat suit for this atrocity.
I was thinking the same thing! Hazard…
Totally agree
She was touching items with her bare hands and you could tell that they might have a biohazard on them. 😬
I feel like I kind breathed watching this I'm getting anxiety
Yes I was a mortuary technician it was mandatory to wear a full body suit.
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.
Sacred tissue?! Lol
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.
It’s not the bodies that are disgusting that is a natural process why is disgusting is the person or persons who has done this
I've been beng watching videos like this all last summer.
these are the times we live in, and the kinds of people we live amongst.
Yeah, that's the scariest part of it all
So fricking disrespectful. Each and every dead person deserves for their body to be at least safe and secured.
Also I didn’t even know a mausoleum could be so creepy.
Cremation is better
Agree its wrong
So very sad...feel for the grieving relatives...
Those are beautiful coffins, so sad the place couldn’t be maintained properly. I hope they are resting peacefully.
expensive tin cans at best
Awww what happened was really sad
Very heart breaking
Yea it really is. Thanks for always supporting our videos Claire!
I had to Google her name but she was killed taking pictures in a sewer drain was washed away by flood water really sad
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....😱🤢🤮
This is why I'm being cremated
Me too😁
Me too
Same here. And I don't want to become Biosludge.
Me too
Amen. Me too.. spread my ashes all over the White Mountains of New Hampshire where I grew up
I sure hope that the families find new resting places for their loved ones
Well I already told my son I want to be cremated and be buried on top of my mom everything paid for
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.
Faintly? It must have smelled beyond horrible
That was a show room for the families to come. To run a funeral home you have got to have 6 caskets on hand at all times.
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) 😏
Glad to see Becca in the video. R.I.P. to her :(
❤❤
Who is Becca?
@@heatheralcantar2545 th-cam.com/video/EDrN3ROkmGc/w-d-xo.html
What happend to her? Is she the one in the video?
How did she pass?
So cool you went inside. My question is wouldn’t that crypt stink if you placed bodies like that? I can’t imagine the smell with fresher dead bodies.
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.
Wondering if any charges will be made against the former owner that abandoned it all. This is terrible that these people were treated in this manner.
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
Second! Always loved you're vids.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
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.
That's horrific 😢
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.
imagine reselling the caskets because some of them look to be in great condition, and go like "for sale pre loved caskets, in pristine condition, used only once"
Municipalities and their officials and citizens should be held responsible for inspecting these facilities and burial plots yearly!
I AGREE- you can't take on the responsibility of caring for these remains& then walk away!! What about desecration of a corpse? It's sickening
What bout muh citizens!!1
I am sooo glad that she is excited about checking this off her bucket list !
She needs a life…🙄
Or to lose hers 😏
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
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!
WOW AMAZING.. FIND.
This is so sad 😞
One word. Cremation.
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 this is beyond words. It is cool but creepy. Will you do MORE videos? Im new here love this channel!!!❤❤❤
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
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?
Oh my ...horrific
This was very creepy to have heard about. I feel so bad for those who weren't able to get the rest they deserved.
At 2:40 she really said; "meat on the bones." How about saying something like; "flesh on the bones?" Poor choice of words if you ask me.
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
Damn this is wild! 😳😳😳
I work for another funeral home in Bessemer. This is just wild
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. .
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.
It’s a damn shame that this has happened it seems like family members should always keep track of what goes on with those family members that have died and what has become of the remains in a mausoleum both of my parents are in a mausoleum but they wanted to be cremated so that’s what I had done when they passed it’s a shame that cities and states are not holding owners of cemeteries liable for stuff like this or have a statue in place to hold somebody liable to prevent situations like this
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.
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.
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.
Because it was NOT a mausoleum ! sighs
Wow! Excellent video, really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cremation is looking better and better.
And this is why I’m being cremated.
You know there's got to be some Spirits roaming around this area
looks like it would make a great home!
I WAS an Embalmer/Funeral Director at Brown Service Funeral Home, Bessemer Alabama. Never knew of this place.
So sad the family didnt spent just to end up being disrespected and abandon like this
Those 7 bodies could have been a whole family that wanted to be together
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.
Its kinda creepy but sad at the same time
Funeral people are CREEPY, seeing these abandon funeral homes proves my theory.
I wonder what they'll do with it in the future, and what it looks like now.
Someone commented they think it's being turned into a haunted house attraction.
Wow what a place to be in
The business concept is actually very intriguing. N
When your "bucket list" includes a mortuary, your life is going in an odd direction...
