Around here to squeeze out more money per acre they build these 2 ish story rectangle box building that stick out like a sort thumb, ugly as you can get. You can wall up 4, 5, 6 coffin high along 4 outside walls. The outside walls all around are the graves, the faceplate, opening. So basically a tall grave wall, folding in on itself, 3 times, to make a box. You look at these things, they look like detach walled in car ports. Flat roofing, last top interments right at roof level, you ask yourself, how are they going to do maintenance on this thing, say roof leak. Remove the occupants? The grave itself is the outside wall, who keeps that up? You know any modern building that doesn't need maintenance in 30 years? Those rich private mausoleum are usually constructed with lots of single slabs of stone, getting cheap and going with 30 year mall construction is a waste of money. 30 year mall construction, 30 year tax deductions, 30 year loan, mall construction usually means that mall is going to be torn down in 30 years and either rebuilt, or replaced with something else. My guessing they, cemetery, betting in 30 years no one will care. .
I don't understand how cemeteries can offer perpetuity in the care of loved ones buried in their cemetery . When space becomes limited or unavaliable , they lose money coming in and often abandon the property . How many real old graves has anyone seen that shows continual attention ? In my own state of Oregon , I have explored a huge , massive Cemetery , where when I finally found the oldest death dates , Blackberries and shrubs covered so many graves , I really had to work to find a headstone . When I returned a year later those blackberries and shrubs along with scores of headstones had been bulldozed over and a new Mausoleum was under construction . They no doubt thought , nobody visits , any relatives are dead too ,, we can use the space . Time eventually causes us all to fade into the past . I enjoyed your video Allison , and the focus wasn't that bad .. Best Wishes with your new channel !!
I went to Washington 4th through sixth grades and absolutely loved it. Then got kicked off of My high horse by A cocaine fiend sperm donor manic depression a sadistic smarter than everyone else sister amongst other things. I tried to figure out whom now owns it and buy it and turn it into a huge Grow Op but with organic vegetables fruits and the hOTTEST PEPPERS Cannabis too. I know some very wealthy Oil Monied trust fund babies whom I can borrow from easily.
I’m so sorry. Your going from this to that so quickly . A crypt with what looked like a wedding picture( Tieman) on the wall you just skipped right over . This mausoleum looks like nothings been done to it since the 60’s . The people with the money that started it and advertised it , would be beautiful forever have now passed and the building is not being given a dime to keep it up for years. That my friends, is why I will most definitely will opt for cremation . The body’s in any mausoleum will never RIP forever . Thank You for at least not forgetting about these people.
"Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time." My grandfather died in 1971 and was buried, later my grandmother had him disinterred and placed in a Mausoleum. The mausoleum deteriorated into deplorable shape and was a disgrace. (Way to go Pulaski-Bleckley Memorial Gardens in Cochran, GA). When she died in 2011 at 104 yo, we had her buried, and when the ground was stabilized around her grave, we had my grandfather reburied next to her.
