@@BourbonInhibitions I've always wondered when and where that came into common use. I first heard Luke Skywalker tell his Uncle Owen, who didn't want him to go "join up" until he'd brought in more income, "But that's a _whole n'other year!"_ What's wrong with "another whole year" or whatever?

@@Ephemeral2023 The thing that drives me NUTZ is the way almost everyone misuses the word, "decimate." It has a specific meaning, based on the Roman system of counting. It means, simply, to destroy _ten percent_ of something. If Roman legions had too much trouble with conquered populations, the leader would have all the males above a certain age lined up, then yell, "Decimate!" and the legionnaires would kill _every tenth man._ IIRC, they also used it on their own troops who'd misbehaved badly. But lexicographers are probably including it in dictionaries and thesauruses as I type.

If people want to continue to be entombed in a communal mausoleum, they need to be built to survive the ages. Ancient humans did it. We can do it too.

It was serene like a newborn baby being held for the first time by its mother. I no longer fear death and look forward to the next chapter. ☺️

I agree...

I didn't think you could just leave those buildings open... this is just got to be heartbreaking for the families who have their loved ones there...

You’re right, but I’m pretty sure they don’t care especially after 20 years.

What a great idea! I hope they can get some help cleaning it up. If I lived around there I'd love to help.

Good luck with that! People want it done for them. It is difficult to get high school students to do their community service hours for graduation. Our community has like 40 hours or four years of school, years ago it was 80, but generally Seniors are still grappling to get their hours in time claiming that they are too busy even though their and parents and grandparents are still working 40+ hours a week, taking care of seniors, doing the grocery shopping and food preparation, laundry, maintaining the house and yard, pets, plus maintaining the schedule of the child’s activities, etc.‼️

The Mount Moriah cemetery in Philly was abandoned for many years & now there are at least two groups helping to keep it clean.

The people who cared got there loved ones out now that it's been 20 years

"These souls" that you speak of are long departed. What you are seeing is what returns to the earth form whence it came.

Not sure why there is such a hangup for using the term 'Souls.' Try instead to look at how terrible it is about what is happening at this cemetery and those who paid for these plots.

I have worked in cemetery restoration and archeology. Those caskets did not move themselves, this is grave robbing pure and simple, the makers of this vid could not bring themselves to admit that.All those empty vaults with the doors smashed in, no question.

@@502BluePilgrim what are they robbing? corpse?

We had to have something like that locally after a hurricane and severe flooding of the bay. Unfortunately part of it was what I believe is called a “potters field” if I remember correctly, and so many of the graves were already unmarked. There was actually people who were going around taking bones. I kid you not. They were finding bones and instead of contacting the city or something, they took them home. When caught, they were like “yeah but it was the potters site side, not the modern one”. Like who the hell cares, those are still people! A lot of the ones on the potters side were in wooden boxes that had all decayed away from water damage and time. In fact there was a while were people weren’t allowed to walk around there because after the flood you could be walking then just fall into a grave where the wooden caskets had decayed away and collapsed inwards due to water damage. If I remember correctly the team that came in to our city to deal with it ended up having one grave plot for unidentifiable remains that had washed out, and placed a beautiful marble bench and marker (it could’ve been the city or something that placed the memorial). I liked how the marker itself displayed a multitude of religious symbols in case there were remains of people with multiple religions. And I believe it said something like “in this unified grave lay beloved mothers, fathers, sons and daughters” and some kind words. Most of the newer (mid to late 1900’s on) were in caskets or coffins that held up somewhat well after the flood, and were able to be re-buried with any markers placed back and repaired if needed. One thing we did learn....rubber gasket caskets are bullshit and people shouldn’t get scammed into paying for them. It was a big thing that literally none of the rubber gasket sealed caskets held up ANY better, and the rubber would actually rot away and created gaps, and did not do a damn thing to protect from moisture, bugs, etc. I remember a local article in the newspaper saying this and there being this big backlash and they had some funeral home owner say in the article “it’s pretty much known throughout the business that within the first winter and summer, the gaskets fall apart almost entirely. The second the ground freezes then thaws, they’re dried out and useless. It’s more paying for piece of mind and the false sense of protection for a loved one”. Yet so many people there had been scammed into buying them. And they’d done nothing.

Most are funded by trusts. This one was established before the current laws came about

In some countries people have to keep paying rent on the grave or else to corpse is evicted.

@@David-eu1ms that's how it is here in the Philippines especially within the National Capital Region but most likely it happens within Public cemeteries. When I visited the grave of a friend I saw the skulls of the evicted corpse and it's so depressing.

There are places in Europe where the "evicted" bones are placed in a mass ossuary. Ghoulish photos of these ossuaries can be found online. Of course, the identity of the deceased is lost when that happens.

In America we are a very Mobile society, we’ll pick up and leave our route and head for other places and start over. No longer do we stay in the same town we were born in and have our children and then when we die our children stay there and the beat goes on places like New York, and New Jersey, where all of this neglect is going on is a simple matter of people no longer living to remember we have on average three children. Eventually, nobody remembers their grandparents or great grandparents, or where they were buried or anything else and they don’t really give a damn because that was then and we are so busy with now. So therefore the mausoleums crumble and Graves are not attended. So when all this happens, who is responsible the only people that are responsible are the government. Nobody else is going to step forward and donate to descendants that are not in their line. There have been several graveyards that have been completely moved. There is several companies that actually relocate cemeteries when a major highway or a freeway is coming through the center of a cemetery. Also in New Orleans and Louisiana graves have to be above the ground because of the water level so what they have been doing is building mausoleums and doing their best to relocate whatever Gravesleigh fine. I remember in Dallas watching a cemetery being marked off and one by one they would lower a device in and it would take up the entire grave, dirt and all and transported to the new area where the holes have been dug, and they would lower all that dirt and whatever is in it into the new home.

If you're buried in that county it should be a county problem period unless the county has no pride and respect for its citizens

They probably have no family left or atleast most don't care, they probably want to build some fancy apartment complex or condos. Or heck maybe even a Starbucks. My husband does infrastructure and they have many graves or reminences of them deep in the ground. Like 1600s 1700s graves. Mainly Jewish people. Which doesn't surprise me Jewish were the first settlers and they have tried to hide those facts for 200 years.

Usually, when a judge, or other entity, seals records; it is to protect the guilty, from being found out. There are exceptions, but I would guess, 90 percent of the time, this is the case. On the other hand; in cases of spousal abuse, for example; the restraining order, or sealing, of the plaintiff's whereabouts; is not enforced, and the plaintiff is murdered. Our Court System needs some major reforms. There are many justice projects going on, but not nearly enough.

@@woodulike2know391 Factually incorrect. Jewish arrived at the colonies in the 1650, over 40 years after the 13 colonies were founded.
