I FOUND A STINKER Mausoleum In The City of the Dead! 

agreed 🙏

Thats why i choose to b cremated

Who cares? They earned their $$ and used it to build their own tomb. Nothing wrong with that.

True, but those who spend a lot of money to build sumptuous tombs don't think about it when building them, they are convinced they will live forever....

Just extension's of something we all leave behind, our ego's.

Oh yes, most of my videos I am doing that trying to find stuff out about people and then tell a bit of a story.

Can not take money with you!😂. In the end you go like all of us.

@@alittlewheiser521 And there's elvis Presley

Yes very true

@@alittlewheiser521 but that even worse for a common person with just a head stone. I’ve seen some in old cemeteries and you can even read the inscription anymore.. just saying

It should not!..unless it is haunted..smell of Hell is always tied to the undead and restless for sure..🎶😬😬😬

Embalmed bodies, they decompose slowly, I wouldn't wanted for myself, our bodies are created to decompose quickly, with embalming, they decompose anyway, it just take so long. Would rather chose that to happen fast then rotting for decades, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

It does not last that long. It takes 11 years for an embalmed body to completely decompose in a metal coffin. 30 years and there is nothing left to stink.

Odds are it's the stink of a mouse, rat..some kind of animal decaying.

@@rexmasters1541Not necessarily, a lot of factors affect the rate of decomposition of embalmed bodies. I’ve seen videos of exhumed bodies completely intact after 50-60 years

It’s a weird way to spend so much money.

I actually love that! It’s kinda romantic, just wish I had the money!

@@dclxvi.tattoo The living could use that money. The dead don’t have much use for it.

@@chiararomano1818 when you spend 800k you give jobs to a lot of people and make a few businesses prosper.

@@chiararomano1818 guess it’s down to personal preference on what you spend your money on during your lifetime 😊 shoulda woulda coulda and all that

Holy moley! I could swear I smell a sickening sweet smell when I drive past a certain cemetery. I don't know if it's fertilizer being used or if it's decomposition.

My husband says the same about me sometimes…..just saying….

I find it fascinating u can see inside the mausoleums in some countries. No way in Australia. I watched a video of an old cemetery in County Clare Ireland & was shocked that u could see thru the door grid inside & there was skeletons exposed with a few remnants of the 100 + year old coffins. Some had 6/7 skeletons, some had coffins intact. Skulls & bones everywhere. As there's obvious openings to the mausoleums & pipe vents surely small animals & multiple insects can get in & there were a couple of bodies still decaying while their coffins had fallen apart. Imagine looking in a relatives tomb & seeing that or worse maggots, rats & other bugs devouring the remains. Awful.

@@mikearreola2609 there not forgotten as we're getting the chance to see them people are never forgotten

Yes they are

I agree. Some look like bank buildings.

Good thing that Colma almost never gets hot.

I know it’s odd. People always think I live in Los Angeles because of those.

Why? They're gorgeous

@@mr.slothington4517 weeping willows?

Shouldn't those things be air tight ?

Sounds like the drainage system wasn’t done right or needs repair

Speaking of San Diego, the military cemetery(Point Loma???) is amazing

Thank You.

Could that be done?

​@adelerodriguez2432 I believe if you are very careful, it can be. It would be great if, someone in the funeral industry, who has experience working around these family mausoleums, could see video, the comments, and gives his/her expert opinion on the matter.

couldn't agree more!!!

And it's cheaper too

Not a Christian thing to do

No, if you’re burned to a crisp and pounded with a mallet you may just smell like smoke

@@chris-julian5537 yes

Oh wow…. In your line of work I’m sure you saw it all.

@@CryptDoor Seen a few things, did everything as far as Cemetery maintenance, but the best part were the stories I was told by the generation retiring.

@@RADIUMGLASS I visited St. Louis #1 Cemetery in 2022, and a lot of the crypts are cracked open, crumbling, etc... I smelled a weird smell like I have never before or since. Everyone kept saying that it would be impossible to smell death. I think water got in those things during Katrina and Ida and created that "funk of 40 thousand years." Thanks for clearing that up!

Isn't that dangerous to breathe that stuff in? On Long Island, NY concrete vaults are required.

So sorry you had to deal with that. Ugh!

Check out this list of EVPs to prove the dead are there: There was obviously a lot of history with the Morgan family. [This is in front of the Morgan family crypt] 2:53 "Poochy, you're fine." 2:56 "I'm pissed!" 3:00 "What happened? 3:01 "You're a d_ckhead." 3:02 "We had everything and we lost it." 3:06 "Go ahead. Go right in. Relax." 3:10 "Wait for poppy to go in." 3:13 "Relieved." 3:17 "Go ahead." 3:22 "They can feel it at the funeral." 3:23 "It is, what it is." 3:25 "Poppy" (Wow that is loud and clear.) 3:26 "I'm trapped." 3:27 "I'm pissed" 3:29 "We had money." 3:32 "It ends.." 3:34 "I'm pissed." 3:35 "Commit" 3:38 "I'm pissed!" 3:39 "Unbelievable!" 3:42 "What happened?" 3:44 "Hard for him to come in." 3:46 "He lost the plain to somebody." 3:49 "He lost it."

@@ahndeux wow

It's taken...pick another one 😍

I don't think what you smelt was decaying bodies. For one most cemeteries require embalming that usually diminished the odor considerably. Two the smell of decomposition that would have progressed to that point would be too overwhelming. In other words you wouldn't have been able to continue with the video. Three drains and vents aid in dehydration of body fluids they are built in . Four it's recommended that metal caskets are used in this situation so that would add to the prevention of odor and leakage . Five ,due to their designs the odor would most likely be at the outside walls not at the entrance. Six the dried fluid on the floor looks to be safe powder added which is used to absorb odors so the problem is probably addressed previously so it's likely a continual problem so that might or might not be an indication of decomposition odors but it's not necessarily the case that it is. But safe powder does an awesome job so it's doubtful that it's that sort of leak . And there appears to be no bodies on that side .last but not least ...if such a leak was occuring you would see insects on the door outside the walls and inside if they had nothing to prevent them from invading. That last one is nearly proof positive it's not what you think . Most likely there was a leak or is a leak and bacteria feeding off the water pooling without proper ventilation inside the crypt open area with the addition of heat made a swampy scenario..if it is body fluid again you would have an infestation

Why did you type all of that? No one’s going to read it lol

I did. And i learned something new from it.​@@dieselboy610

Any time!

Yes

Old time coroners used to have a cigar with them for these. Some would put a pinch of 'baccy in each nostril.

I watched a cremation once. Horrific

agree, it’s horrific !

When I was homeless in a midlands UK town I squeezed in a partially priced open door near the city centre, it was pitch dark so I just went to sleep next morning by the light of my cigarette lighter I discovered I was in a mausoleum so I quickly left ! A few years later when they're redeveloping the area, there was a newspaper article about it, showing the spiral staircase that I had been happily going up and down on was held together by rust and even though no one was meant to of been in there for years, there was a picture of a man holding up my lighter which I had left in my haste to leave ! I explored by light of my lighter and it was amazing !

Wouldn't bother me..

@@kylemartin2594 it didn't bother me either, it was just a bit of a surprise first flicked my lighter! But it was cool, great housemates, no noise, no problems, no arguing and all in all it was fine place to stay until I got myself back on my feet ! I still go by there and smile to myself as they have knocked down a lot of the derelict factories, built a huge supermarket, some shops and some parking ! The black door, well that's been bricked over but mausoleum is still there.

Isn't that like illegal? I know in places like Paris a person stays in a grave for so long and then they vacate it.

@@timw8228 Leasing graves is common in other countries where there is limited space (especially in Church cemeteries).

I worked in cemetery in Texas where the old section graves were 6 foot long and 6 foot deep. The new graves we dug in that section were 8 foot long and 6 foot deep, you can imagine the rest.

​@@ackackdacholy moley!

Thank you very much and welcome aboard!

Thank you!

Thank You! 🙏

Curiosity. I think that’s what a lot of of us watch for.

My pleasure 😊

They flaunt their money even in death!

I saw that one in the funny gravestone one too.

Good one!

Very cool

Poor Leona still owe Uncle Sam. Her little dog is living it up at taxpayers’ expense.

Leona is resting quietly in her mausoleum. Never to heard from again.

​@@timw8228my stepmother thought who the hell she was. She put on airs like she was rich. We were at one of our brothers' homes for a birthday celebration, and one of their friends called her Leona Helmsley. Not to her face of course. lol

I would think it would be pretty hard to provide extreme, long term upkeep for most cemeteries. No doubt, many have trusts that assure for caretakers for a good, long time but when they have thousands and thousands of headstones and multiple mausoleums, it would get very expensive to do any real maintenance beyond basic grounds keeping. You would think, a quality stone structure would continue to look very good after 100 years, maybe even 200 but mother earth eventually reclaims everything. Even the hardest of stone structures, ultimately, can't escape dust to dust.

@@shananagans5 Certainly a point in those cemeteries facing harsh weather, seasonal freezing and thawing in New England, for example. But Southern California has such a mild climate that - even lacking endowment care - the deterioration I've seen often appears attributable to poor original workmanship. At Hollywood Forever Cemetery, for example, I saw headstones made of laminated stone bonded with epoxy; less than 20 years after installation, the monuments were delaminating.

​@@lelandstone35that is disgusting.

It's called Casket failure. "Decomp" shouldn't be noticeable if the body is buried or interred properly.

I have smelled decomposition while driving past cemeteries. I don't know if it's bodies, rotting plants, or fertilizer.

It is called decomposition of the body. And it can through gas the body creates during this process . Its called decomp not coffin failure!!!

Not sure if things ever slow down death never stops.

So they can vote by mail for democrats

I’m never gonna question what someone’s last wishes are
