Circus Cemetery & Lane Frost Grave 

Just discovered your channel... awesome! It is military of origin, pennies just mean you payed your respects...A nickel means that you and the deceased soldier trained at boot camp together. If you served with the soldier, you leave a dime. A quarter is very significant because it means that you were there when that soldier was killed...we adopted this around the time of Vietnam :)

Thank you for showing Lane's grave... and the tour. We will most certainly be making a stop there...

You are to be commended on presenting these documentaries. You're respectfulness and informative about these people is tremendous!! Thank You for taking the time to remember these Amazing People who were the True Meaning of Entertainment.

freckles brown was Lane Frost mentor and family friend thats why Lane is buried near him

How cool is this!!! A cemetery totally devoted to the performer's of The Circus!!! I love this. What an honor for those who have moved on to the big circus in the sky..

The custom of leaving a coin for the dead to pay the Ferryman to take them into the next world goes back to Greek mythology.

The Lane Frost movie 8 seconds broke my heart. Thank you for this tour.

I have never seen a cemetery like this it's beautiful and the details on the stone so well kept I'm glad you found it

I love this! These entertainers obviously wanted their legacy to live on and wanted these uniquely detailed markers to be seen. Thank you for sharing! I live in Columbus Ohio, and I recently learned that the nearby shopping center used to be the Sells Circus grounds. I saw a documentary and old photos of monkeys and elephants that would wander off the grounds and into the neighborhood where I live now. They left when they were bought out by Barnum and Bailey. Sadly, there's no historical markers or cemeteries like these nearby. If I hadn't seen that documentary, I would have never known about this!

How wonderful to have a cemetary with so many performers sharing their final resting place. Golly,I bet they are having the best time ever! Like children at recess! Love it! ♥️

After Luke Perry's death today, I had to watch your video again since you showed the grave of Lane Frost. (Luke played the part of Lane in the movie "8 Seconds". ). This is truly a great video. The circus graves are so interesting and I had forgotten how many had elephant statues on them. Your tribute to Lane was very nice.

Great video !!!!!!! Those were two real cowboys right there !!!!

Nice video, thank you for sharing it. Freckles Brown was the only person to ride the Bull, named Tornado which had been turned out 200 times in 14 years and only ridden once.

Okie Carr the animal trainer is my husbands father. He trained animals for the show for 42 years. He died of cancer.

I have the movie 8 Seconds, Lane Frost was amazing & Luke Perry played him so very well in the movie, Keep up the great work RhettyforFun, I enjoy your videos ALOT!!!!! May they both R.I.P

I love cemeteries

How beautiful and touching! I love how the family can feel free to express their love for their lost ones. Here in Idaho, where I live, theives steal everything from flowers, vases to the actual headstone. Sickens me! I'm happy their are beautiful resting places like these w respect for those who have gone before us! Wonderful video! 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

WOW!!! We have a Mt. Olivet here in SLC, UT. Ours house soldiers from tje Indian, Civil and Spanish/American wars. As well as Masons. It's awesome. This is the place my son wants to clean up for his Eagle Scout.

Such beautiful carvings on the headstones. I've never felt so much joy in a cemetery of all places...a fitting memorial to people who gave so much happiness to others. One of the Frost headstones was made up of 2 big carved seals. I wonder if that was a seal trainer. Thank you for the tour.💕🙂

SO SAD 😭 THEY JUST REPORTED LUKE PERRY who played Lane Frost in the movie 8 Seconds passed away just this morning 03-04-19 from a stroke he suffered just a few days ago!! I was just thinking of him with the Anniversary of Lane’s passing! I was thinking just before I heard about his stroke how they could interview him as someone who portrayed Lane??? RIP Lane & Luke

It's actually a pretty neat video you've made, It's beyond great to see people's lives being celebrated,( as they should be ) Bravo to you, great job!!! I am glad I was able to see this, thanks ☮️☮️✝️✝️☀️☀️

I really enjoyed that cause I love the circus and Rodeo..love the movie 8Seconds great movie thanks for sharing

Thanks for showing this cemetery.. How interesting. I’d love to see all the headstones someday. So Much history.

I too thank you for showing Lane’s grave. I think you did an amazing job respecting the entire cemetery, but namely Lane and his mentors, Freckles’ grave. Much respect and gratitude for you.

This was a great video.. Lane's friend Cody lambert still comes to all the rodeos in our area. He was an amazing bull rider...thanks for sharing

Just discovered your videos and I am hooked. Thank you for your hard in making them and I will keep watching.

RhettyForFun thanks for the great video. I have friends in circus and I have worked side shows for years on and off. I wouldn't change it for the world. Once your friends with circus people they take you on as family . The showmans rest is brilliant. I've been to the one in Florida where a friends of mine who was a well known clown is now buried. I miss him everyday he was a great man had time for everyone and loved his fans. Which he had quite a few. So nice to see the late brilliant talented Lane Frost's stunning grave too. The movie they made was brilliant . Such a shame a man so talent had to die so young. Thankyou for visiting the Cemetary and making this footage and uploading it for us all to enjoy. Samantha from France.

Another beautiful and respectful presentation Rhetty. You are a fine gentleman for bringing these cemeteries and headstones to light. Thank you.

RIP Cowboy I remember hearing about Lane Frost when I was little little a very humble kind guy was genuine in making sure his fans knew he appreciated them wich made it harder to aknowledge he took his last ride 😔. Thank you for sharing

your doing a fanatic job on your videos keep up the good work we all miss Lane Frost he was a excellent fanatic bull rider champion also Lane mentor Freckles they both will never be forgotten thank you for sharing your videos with us

Nice cemetery different ones than I've seen great video.

The bubbles are in place of balloons!

Just noticed this episode on showman‘s rest. I happen to be doing the showman ‘s rest up in Hammond Indiana, where a lot of these Circus performers were killed in a horrific train crash back in 1918. Nice job on this video.

The epitaph on the wagon wheel headstone says: "All that is left is popcorn sacks and wagon tracks. The circus is gone.". ☹️

I loved the video, nice to know the circus people are all together and taken care of so nicelly...dee

I remember the Lane Frost story.!! Wow, that he is buried there! The headstone is indeed a buckle.Thanks so much. I am gonna stick around and enjoy your great videos.

I really like this cemetery and I am an admirer of Lane Frost. He was a Champion bull-rider cowboy and a real gentleman !

Thanks your vedios are great. I live in Chicago and we have several here in Rosehill cemetery in Chicago. They we're transported from Lincoln Park which was once a cemetery many years ago. That's when they decided to remove these bodies to different cemeteries. Yet your site of vedios are far much better. Thanks for sharing your vedio

Lane Frost died in the arena at the 1989 Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo as a result of injuries sustained riding the bull "Takin' Care of Business". He died by getting horned in his back and breaking his ribs which severed an artery that led to his heart. Oh, and those are PBR Rodeo Winner Buckles...

What an amazing cemetery! Thank you for documenting it so descriptively.

Loved the video. Thank you for sharing it with us.

They have something similar, also called “showman’s rest” in forest park, Illinois.. a very peaceful place

What a unique cemetery. Great headstones, thanks Rhetty. 🇦🇺❤️🐨

Yea ,, thanks for showing lanes Grave!!! So Awesome!! My dream is to visit there one day .

A unique and fascinating tour. Thank you 😎

Some of the head stones are nicer than some of the Hollywood stones.

I had to watch this again, my husband team ropes an we are huge rodeo fans. Lane Frosts family is still very active in rodeo, PRCA. You need to come to Colorado and visit the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame.

Perez, Samuel (1969-2001) - Acrobat - His tombstone shows him doing a flying trapeze trick. A member of the famous Perez flying act from Mexico City, Samuel performed a stunt know as the Wheel of Death - a stunt with a jumping rope atop a spinning wheel. His marker includes acrobatic equipment along with lovely flowers. His career was short lived due to illness.

Thanks for such a nice tribute. I did really enjoy your vlogs. I always learn something. I miss the old circus tents .

Absolutley beautiful cemetery and headstones. Thank you for sharing.

My dad and brother are burried in Woodlawn cemetery in Forest Park IL. There is a Showman's Rest section for those that passed from a circus train accident in Hammond IN in 1928.

Thank you. Very unique cemetery. And you are very respectful as always with your videos

Could you leave your camera on the graves a little longer so the dates can be read? Great video. Never knew other Circuses existed besides Barnum and Bailey.

Wow I have never seen anything like this in my life.......thank you for doing this I found it fasinating xxxx

My uncle had a bucking bull like red rock his name was pet he loved kids but would throw cowboys

It's definitely worth a side trip to this amazing little cemetery in Hugo. You certainly won't regret it. Plan it for your next road trip. Many descendants of the old circus performers still live in Hugo with a fairly decent population of 'little people'.

Awesome video! Didn't know such a place existed where the performers are buried! Subscribed. Looking forward to more videos to come! TYVM for uploading!

Fascinating and interesting!

Great job God bless

Thanks for sharing. Long live the circus!

this is a very well kept place u prolly know as u visit many of this type...bird sounds perfect touch

That huge grave monument at the 17:00 mark tells of how the town of Hugo got it's name. Lina Buford named the townsite after her favorite actor, Victor Hugo. They were originally buried in the historic Fairlawn cemetery in Oklahoma City then reinterred here with in 1977. Google William Harrison Darrough. Interesting story.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking Lane's Tombstone was replaced, but it actually has two sides to it. Looks like a lot of interesting characters in that cemetery.

Wonderful vid! Thanks so much for sharing. Makes me think of my mom and grandfather who rode in the parade in Cheyenne in the early 40s I believe.

Luke Perry's passing was quite unexpected. He did a wonderful job of portraying Lane Frost in the movie 8 Seconds. Tuff Hedeman, Lane's best friend, was still doing rodeos a couple of years ago. Thank you Rhetty for the tour of this cemetary, and you are correct about 8 Seconds. It is a good movie.

Great video - i remember watching larry mahan and myrtis dightman ride bulls in the early 70,s rodeo is a great sport ! - love the circus too !!!

Great video. Gibstown Florida by Tampa is a circus / carnival town and rich in show history

Lane didnt have any kids with his wife his best friend did and named it after lane and yes the jackets were made for the rodeo bc of lanes injuries

I love this, thank you!

Thank you for taking us to see Lane Frost resting place. This cemetery is so unique. Luke Perry played Lane Frost so sad he is gone to early too. Steve Memory Lane recommended your channel ✌️

Very nice place to live because everything in the cemetery is in intact and unscathed.

At 15:10 the Alder headstone, I noticed that it said Mother and Son. That is very unusual? I wish I knew more about some of these memorials. This is a wonderful video. I'm glad I can experience it through your efforts. God bless you.

Lane Frost was from my neck of the woods in Utah, so I wondered how he ended up buried in Oklahoma. Apparently he had made early arrangements to be buried close to his hero, Freckles Brown.

That's really beautiful, I would never have seen the beautiful grave sites,thank you very much for sharing this with me.(US) by the way I have become one of your newest subscribers.☺ It's A really large cemetery.😀

Great job. Many of my family members are buried in that cemetery. None were circus performers but local merchants.

History I love that we'll done rhetty x

Interesting... who'da thunk? this world is full of things from mysterious to creative and interesting such as this cemetary. thanks for the video tour.

One: Very good video. I would never have known about this cemetery except for your video. I will post it on Facebook and encourage my friends to watch your videos. Two: I like Rhetty better clean-shaven; however, as the young people say, he is "totally rockin'" the beard! LOL

Great video! Thank you!

I stumbled upon your site yesterday, and watched you as you cleaned up a cemetery of Native (REAL) Americans and today I subscribed as I watched you walk around Show Mans Rest and the two Cowboys. Please take the time to really show the tombstones as folks actually use these films to find family members graves. Having a picture of the marker can literally bring tears to the eyes for those of us who can not travel.So, in short, MORE VIDEOS of GRAVES. PLEASE???? I would beg on bended knees, if I could. But I can't, so I won't!

The bull Freckles was on was "Tornado" Freckles rode him at the National Finals Rodeo in OKC

Beautiful stone work, there must be 1 or 2 very wealthy stone masons in town.

This is Nice to see here.. Thank You for sharing.. Glad I ran across your video.. God Bless

I actually knew Mr zicjek when I was with the carnival very good guy and miss him every day

Thank you for the video. I think I will take a ride down there myself

That is REALLY cool! 😃

I just subscribed, you do a great job, I just realized you are the one who did the Silkwood video, You must be an Oklahoman

Interesting video. Thanks!
