Ask a Mortician is how I ended up here, and it's been worth it so many times over.
+cadavereye they are made for each other lol
What episode
love it
+Exploring With Josh Thanks dude! Still aiming to go on an exploration soon! In Madrid at the moment, aiming to find a way into a couple of exciting spots :)
Nothing for me to comment, just wanted to thank your team for a nice video about Săpânța.
+Mihai Bica Thanks!
Don't you just hate it when you're holding your baby and it turns into a bottle of liquor.
I love how much joy you obviously have in learning about and sharing these treasures hidden around the world.
+Potato Girl Thanks so much! I really truly do!
That's such a beautiful cemetery. I love all of the bushes of flowers. Beautiful way to celebrate the deceased.
Ok this is my next trip.
Hopefuly not the last one :)
It's a beautiful cemetery ,unlike any other ,I was there four years ago ,and hope to return
This is bye far my favorite one you’ve done.
Kaitlin would love this place. Her book was soooo good!
These videos deserve so many more views. Keep it up!
+Michael Roberts Thanks so much and thanks for watching!
Omg necropants....
I wonder who came up with that idea, like "hey, if i skinned my dead friend's legs and made pants with him for economic stability, would it work?"
My country.
Caitlin
Cine este roman sa dea un like
Iovely folk art marvellous stories
i love this so much!
+Mia Cooper I know right?
wow. didn't know ya'll were death pos, too. that's cool as hell. I'm a former mortician myself! small world.
+mdrunk It is a small world! Yeah, I started an art space with a friend because we were the only people writing about wax anatomical models. She now runs something called the Morbid Anatomy museum a really great new museum in Brooklyn!
Such a beautiful graveyard! Your enthusiasm for sharing your discoveries shines brightly. Good job :)
Thank you so much! Those are such lovely things to hear!
So grateful that you are sharing the real cultural gems and ethnography of Romania
I would've figured that the marker at 2:29, with a man painting a portrait on a marker, would have been the originator of the practice.
+Brent Allen Nice eyes! So....here is the thing. We think that might be Dimitru Pop, the apprentice, who according to the marker died in 2007. But we were unable to get confirmation of this so we decided to leave it unmentioned!
Yup, that's him. The mustache and that hat was almost ubiquitos with him. If you search Dumitru Pop Sapanta on google you should be able to find some pictures and see the similarity.
Awesome!
+THRILLHO Thanks!
Very Cool! Fantastic Video! Thanks For Sharing!
'
if the person liked to drink you showed that, if the person loved to work you showed that. To a small town there's no secrets; people want the reality.'
Your videos are great! Keep up the good work! By the way, were you in Madrid last friday? I think I saw you in front of the museo Cerralbo :D is it possible? if not, you have a double in Europe! Have a good day!
+Antoine Braconnier Wow, yeah, that was totally me and the fam! That is super crazy. Also that museum is pretty good! Thanks so much for the nice words of support and for watching!
+Atlas Obscura OMG so that was really you :-D i wanted to go and ask but then i said to myself "come on, we're seven billions people, how could that be possible that i meet in a random city the only youtuber whose videos i watch". have a nice stay in Europe. and that s indeed a really cool museum!
+Antoine Braconnier Thanks! I still can't believe you spotted me in Madrid, I feel like such an international jetsetter, ha! That must have been super weird for you too, haha! Well if you ever spot me again, come and say hello!
This one was so good !!!
+Mandi Fries Thanks Mandi! It's one of my favorites too.
I'd be honoured to be buried there if it's still possible 😂
OKAY Dylan THIS is my absolute favorite of yours, next to necropants, of course!!
Thanks Tisha! You have a thing for the more macabre ones it seems!
Its scary how well you know me already.
If you get a chance you should do something on the Day Of The Dead in Mexico D.F at the Chapultepec cemetery.
This channel is awesome, the only problem is the 100 in the 100 wonders.
I'm sure there are more than 100, and I don't like the possibly finite existence that the number lends.
Anyway awesome stuff dude!
+Ben Stone Haha, when we hit 100 we will figure something out!
1:55 Sylvester McCoy on the tombstone (he played the seventh incarnation of Doctor Who).
Celebrating death with colour is something I thought you'd only see in Latin America. Have you seen what their version of halloween is like?
+Centipede Oh yes, and I am a big fan. Day of Dead baby! Also, I love the idea that this is where one of the Doctor's is buried. That is a great Whovian plot line.
I am from Romania
I ship you and askamortician.
+姜제이드 Ah, but like Mulder and Scully we have to stay focused on the truth. It's out there.
just awesome.
+Jaclynn Johnson Thank you!
necro pants :) thats the video that brought me to your channel .
Should do something like this in the states lol
Why don't you enable ratings?
As a romanian I agree with you ,besides we are mokin death so often 🤣🤣🤣 My dad before he died he told me " my little girl ,wen I'm going to rest in cemetery please don't cry when you come visiting my grave,instead bring me 🍺 light me a tigarette and play my favorite music 🙏🏽❤
Dude, I will subscribe if you promise to go to the orthodontist.
Fantastic!
Hello, I just started making videos early this year, and one of my first topics was unusual cemeterys, such as this one, here in Mexico we have one taht looks a lot alike it! Greetings and congratulations, great channel! Did you know here in Mexico we have two small volcanoes you can actually climb and get in?
Cool video! Loved it.
Actually the hole country celebrates/ laughs at funerals and morns /cries at births.
--> Because of a belief that the soul is immortal and we re-incarnate that was passed down for more than 4000 years (it is still practiced but under a Christian ritual).
This still lives on even after invasions from the Roman Empire, the migrating tribes (The Huns, The Gepids, The Pannonian Avars, The Slavs, The Pechenegs, The Cumans, The Oghuz Turks, The Alans, The Tatars) The Austro-Hungarian Empire, The Otoman Empire, The German empire, The Russian Empire.
+S What the hell are you talking about?
+S I don't know about you but where I come from, Constanta in the South-East of Romania, nobody laughs at the funerals of our departed relatives and friends and certainly nobody cries (of sadness or grief) or mourns when a new family member is born. During the actual funeral plenty of relatives cry for the departed one but most of us are pretty calm and accepting of the situation though still sad. Of course everyone is quite sociable at the afterwards feast but the grieving is still there.
Mettez en français on est contre biden
Ask a mortician!!!! ❤
i want my grave to be like this omg
I'm looking for someone who has attended a funeral at the Merry Cemetery for a research project. If you have, and are interested in sharing your story, please reply! Thanks!
Alain de botton would like this I think. He always says we humans don't think about dieing.
found your channel because of ask a mortician and now i can't stop watching.
Truth is always good!
