That one with the house like roof looks like a receiving vault. Used for temporary holding of coffins until the ground is no longer frozen or crypt is ready.
Beautiful cemetery! That big monument you showed us at the beginning was breathtaking! So much to see there. Thank you again for taking us to places we might never get to see otherwise.
The mausoleum with the clear glass at either end has such a narrow space inside between the crypts that I wonder how the caskets were maneuvered into their places.
The steps are probably just something a family donates in memory of their lived one. I have never ever seen a tiled mausoleum either. I, too, love the stone, so, so unique.
So happy to see you pop up! Kind of a restless dragging evening. What very unique mausoleums! The cemetery has a bright Kinda happy feel. Thanks for the adventure on such a beautiful day!
Matt this was so interesting and I've never seen a shingled roof on a mausoleum, maybe it's a replica of their house that they lived in, I'm looking forward to part 3, !!!😎
What an interesting cemetery. Lots to explore here. Amazing headstones. I always find the older ones so impressive.Thanks for the tour.The last mausoleum brings to mind a gypsy caravan how it is painted. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
I just thought of something that could help you get videos through small openings. Endoscopes are camera lenses at the end of long tubing. There are many types and they come in varying lengths. I see them. on Amazon, at Costco and Sam’s. club from time to time
Thanks Matt for sharing with me this video about Amazing Old Mausoleums and Crazy Stories in a Historic Graveyard it was really interesting and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again.
Hey buddy how you doing I was following you before I entered the salvation army adult rehabilitation center it's pretty cool how you investigate these old cemeteries I haven't watched your program in about a year or so good luck buddy
It's touching how maybe someone misses the times they spent smoking cigars together with someone, father/ son maybe, that they had an ashtray built to put their tribute cigars out in when they visit them. Or maybe there was a small group giving tribute to an Odd Fellow Member who is missed. Interesting story there I think. Take care, Matt, see you on more adventures! ✌
Mausoleums stained glass windows are always unique and beautifully decorated. I don't know what that vase w / cover was, but curious about it. Good video as always. Stay safe.✌
I've never seen a shingled roof on a mausoleum. I luv the stone walls. That old door inside it is pretty nice as well. Man! Some of those tombstones are huge! That's a pretty nice cemetary. Thanks for showing us around. I'm enjoying this :)
The shingled building is most likely a receiving vault. Used to store bodies in the winter until ground was thawed enough to dig graves. No hydraulic equipment back when these cemeteries opened.
While in Indiana, i hope you check out Crown Hill on the north side of Indianapolis. It's historical, famous people buried there and it's a nature preserve. It's breathtaking and huge!
Thanks Matt, I wonder why some people feel the need to have these huge great big statues or obelisk's ??, is it a show of love or wealth ??. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to go out and film these different locations. x
That mausoleum without a family name, may well be a place where they stored bodies until Spring time when the ground would be soft enough to dig into.If that is not the case, then it is a family crypt that left insufficient funds to maintain the original slate roof. Good video.
I think the shingled roof mausoleum was once a regular crypt that suffered some major structural deterioration. The rocks on the outside were probably added later, which would explain the unusually deep entryway, and the condition of the shingle roof shows even more recent construction.
Gotta say......when I first started watching this video, I thought you were some kind of goofball. BUT, you turn out to be a very intelligent and interesting guy. I subscribed fast. Thanks for showing us around.
Well maintained cemetery, lots to see, mausoleums, statues, obelisk, interesting markers.What a difference between the mausoleums you showed us Matt.The one with the natural stones ( 2.44) stands out.Maybe the old roof collapsed and they replaced it by using shingles to protect what is inside.Beautiful statues, great pieces of art.Interesting markers with some history.Great explore Matt.Looking forward for part 3 of this series.Love the new hair style.Thanks for showing us around, stay safe .
Such a beautiful Cemetery. I often think that the majority of the Mausoleums are beautiful on the outside. So much work put into them but the inside is very plain. 🌿🌹🌿
Hi!!!! I have been subscribed for a long time, but lately I havnt had any notifications for some reason..... thought i ought to just let you know . Really missed your videos and all the interesting things you tell us about so really glad to watch this today, As usual you didn’t disappoint, and it was so interesting to see unusual mausoleums.....Thankyou for the time and care you take to put these together, and fingers crossed I don’t miss any more! Love snd best wishes from the U.K.! Stay safe! 🙋♀️👍☕️☕️x
You should track down the cemetery Sexton and find out a little history before you film. The sexton most likely have keys and let you film inside the mausoleums. Make it much more interesting.
Another Lafayette area location is in Battleground just on the north side. It's the Historical site of a battle during the war of 1812. Battlefield memorial and cemetery. Beautiful place with a museum
Raymond Clarence “Deac” Ewry is buried there. 14 Oct 1874 - 29 Sep 1937 (aged 62) United States Olympian Gold Medalist from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. He earned 10 medals during his Olympic career in the high jump, broad jump and the triple jump competition.
There is a cemetery in Akron Ohio named Glendale it has quite a few very interesting mausoleums that you can see into. Beautiful stained glass window art. There is also a chapel that has a climate controlled crypt under it.
Richmond Levering was a pretty wealthy man. I've seen an old postcard of his cottage in Long Island, New York. It's actually a mansion, he called it a cottage.
If you ever go to VT. Go too Barre VT .Hope cemetery has some of the most unique gravestones Actually was in National Geographic magazine. Very beautiful. I grew up in Barre used too walk through it just too look at the stone work. My father was a stonecutter.
Another fantastic job! did you notice, when you pointed at the mausoleum Gougar in the distance, at 5:07-5:08 second, did you see someone at the mausoleum walk behind the column there. I cannot do slow motion, but please check it out. let me know!
I am thinking the roof on the 1st building is not original but they wanted to protect the building and the tombs inside..kinda smart if it needs to be replaced as long as the keep with upkeep on it.
539, I am sorry I never hear you say your name. But you should go to Iota, Louisiana to a small cemetery in Iota that has what they call little houses . The people are buried in the ground but built over the grave they have built houses . They have front doors windows and inside they have built small shelves with pictures of family plus little things you would have around the house.
The steps with names go to that family's plot. I'm not sure if they had to pay extra for the step access. Why would you pick up a random cigar butt....lol

I seen Section 8, is that where all the crazy people were interred? Section 8 in the military is a type of medical discharge from the military and more or less meant the person was mentally deficient.
