I don't see why people are so upset, you did nothing disrespectful. People go into cemeteries all the time and take pictures and video. This is a great education piece, it shows what happens when a burial ground is left to rot. If the living don't take care of the dead, this is what happens.....Very nicely done, thank you for sharing.

I've had friends who have chosen to be encrypted in a similar mausoleum because they wanted to be above ground. Before they passed, I warned them not to do so because given enough time, they will be exposed to the elements above ground which are much more destructive than even those below ground. But they went through with their plans. What is really disturbing about this video is that even though those caskets are obviously decaying big time and obviously also the human remains; these caskets do not appear to be that old. They are definitely from the modern age, at most 50 to 75 years old. If this is what can happen within a lifetime, what is the point of even putting a person in a casket at all?

One of the disadvantages of a mausoleum entombment.the threat of one day having your Crypt desecrated

Should never let a place like this get in such a state.

The people who did that bought themselves a whole lot of baaaad baaaad karma

So sad! Just imagine all of these loved ones whose family members believe they're at peace. Not the case at all. And why the hell would vandals spray paint caskets and open them? It doesn't get anymore disrespectful than that.

Incredible! This is one of the best abandoned videos I've seen in a long time. It was short, but worth it. I also enjoy watching Dan Bell's abandoned mall series, looking forward to some more of those.

When dude stuck his head/camera up inside the coffin, I was like " AWW, HELL NAW " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This just gives me bad feelings. People should not be messing with graves. So sad to see someone's final resting place get messed with and desecrated. Shame on them.

What a shame it's in such bad shape. Great video Brian.

In Canada if you are caught violating a grave or tampering with it they can lock you up for a long time "Indignity to human remains" cemeteries up here must be maintained. Damaged crypts, graves or headstones must be repaired quickly.

Graffiti on coffins is pure evil - is nothing sacred any more!?!?

People are unreal and have no respect for the dead. I cannot believe what people did to these coffins.

That is sad and disturbing. I definitely want to be buried. If some stupid kids want to play with my skull, they should have to work really hard to do so.

great video, shame the grave robbers got there first, what scum is out there, the level of vandalism here is unreal

I'm happy to read that efforts are being made to clean up the burial grounds. Wish I could help out in some way. Prayers will made for our brothers and sisters.

My dad passed 3 weeks ago, I am so happy that we did not put him a mausoleum.

We need more people like you to explore things like this. Education for curious minds. Great Job!

Geez that's messed up! It's sad people do that to the dead.

Seems so sad to me that someone's resting place has been disturbed like that :(

Awful what people do. There are no names there either?? Probably there are no Family members left,and people today would not know any of the dead there. Those are very old caskets and that mausoleum is very old too. Local authorities should just go in and remove all those caskets, and rip the place down. All these problems are from a time when massive amounts of expensive jewelry and items of worth were left on the deceased such as very expensive mink coats etc. That won't happen today. I worked for a mortuary back in the day to help pay for College. It did not bother me. But what did bother me was some of the requests of items Families would want left on a body, or that "Funeral Homes" would try and get you to but a very high priced casket that was very tightly sealed to keep the dead looking beautiful forever. Not true.It turns into a pressure cooker that, with no air will eventually explode the lid right off, or blow the lid up,and open (even underground). And, I hate Mausoleums. Have you ever walked through one and the foul air of embalming fluid will almost knock you over. These places should be banned. A family crypt is even more accessible for thieves or vandalism. There are many bad people today, who have no regard or respect for anything, let alone a deceased's final resting place. I am thinking of a green Funeral or cremation when my time comes. And no viewing. I love your videos and try and watch them all. You do a great job. This should certainly be an eye opener for those even considering a mausoleum burial.

Nice video. Unfortunately, it show the lack of decency in mankind. Grave robbers. Hope Karma caught them.

Very nice video. Love creepy and abandoned places. Also liked the fact I felt like I was there with you with the camera angles. Very cool definitely subscribing! Ty again!

Awesome Brian, I love this stuff! I hope you are able to do more!

Junkies probably broke into that place to look for jewelry to sell.

Grave robbers? Jeeze, you can't even get peace when you're dead! Cremation for me.

That's not an abandoned mausoleum. That's called a DESECRATED mausoleum. The shit people do never ceases to amaze me. Yes, there's nothing wrong with taking a look inside of any building that's decayed itself "open"... But, when some creep actually breaks into some poor bastard's box to take the remains, that to me says they weren't raised right. Anyhow.... Cheers to you. Be safe exploring.

Fantastic, Brian!! So surreal.

this is some creepy stuff!!!!!

Wow doesn't get much more extreme than this! Great job!

It is bad enough to have to let your loved ones go, but to see people playing around with their remains is just sickening. These vandals deserve a severe punishment in my opinion

Wow.. My grandma is getting put in one of these next week I don't want people disturbing her in her need of rest

Amazing. I wonder what kind of marauder would bust in there and pilfer through the old caskets. So odd, this situation. Like grave robbers just busted through and wreaked havoc. Creepy.

I must say, you have a lot of boldness and courage to enter into the grave site itself and apart from the fragments of human bones was that human hair too shown in the footage?

This is so sad. Thanks for the upload.

Thanks for posting! Really really good!

IT'S. a shame, all we go through while alive, That there's a possibility you will be dissturbed,..while Resting peaceful. .THANK YOU AGAIN. BRIAN.

Wow...I am speechless.... Thanks for the video.

WOW...Incredible. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Since the recession, many places like this have gone out of business. In most states the law states that the families should remove the remains in these situations. Judging by the age of the caskets (rusting and totally deteriorated) the next of kin were probably never found, hence forgotten about. But still this is something that should be brought to a local news channel. This is just crazy.

I do not see how this could be legal? I mean if people paid for these crypts then they should be taken care of. People in the area should donate time to fix these.

Ok, so I WAS going to request a mausoleum for my burial because something about being underground with dirt all around me freaked me out so bad, but after I watched this...HELL NO!!!😳 I'm going to be taking me a dirt nap!!!! Seriously!!!😱Being cremated really bothers me too. Unless I can be sprinkled at Stevie Nicks house, then I'd reconsider!!!😍

Wow brilliant, how do you find all these locations... amazing ! Thumbs up ! :)

Great video! No talking...I felt like i was exploring it with you...Admired how you didn't mess with anything...It would take nerves of steel to go in a place like that

Do you no how old this mausoleum is?

We claim to be such a proud country loving our past, but this proves otherwise!

Awesome video bro! You have a lot of courage doing that

It’s over 5 yrs later...any update on if this place was sealed off/repaired or is it in the same condition?

did anyone report that to the police department maybe the city can move those Graves to somewhere else that's horrible that someone would break in and they would have to use a sledgehammer something to break into that like that that is awful you can't even rest in peace

Those caskets didn't last long for sure. There are old wooden ones that are older and in better shape.

those don't even look that old. its amazing how quickly things can be forgotten.

This is what happens when cemeteries are run as for profit businesses rather than public goods. They get neglected and abandoned when the business, inevitably, fails. Often these cemeteries only last a few decades before neglected. This is particularly true for mausoleums which require constant upkeep and maintenance.

Great !!

My corpse is going to the Body Farm on the campus of University of Tennessee I know people be looking at me but maybe they will learn something

Just subscribed today - your videos are fascinating. This one is extremely intense - can't imagine doing this or this place being in such disrepair. Head just about blew off at 1:17 though - you're actually inside a coffin! WHOA! No way I could've done that! If that isn't creepy, I don't know what is!

Spooky and amazing. Awesome video 🐈

That's sad

What goes up must come down. This is exactly the reason I purchased ground burial plots in my family cemetery, and will be cremated before being buried. Why do people feel the need to vandalize mausoleums? It's barbaric, and if you believe in karma, about the worst thing in the world to do...

Brian, Amazing Video!! What was the last name on the Mausoleum?

Does anyone have an update on this cemetery? Was it moved? Or is it still there? Thanks!

I do not understand and am glad that I don't understand doing something so disgusting and despicable. Not only that it must have taken a lot of work and time to go through stone and to move those coffins. I doubt it was worth the effort if the vandals/thieves were looking for jewelry as the jewelry worn by the deceased during the viewing is often removed. Imagine some coming to visit family graves and finding this horror. As someone said below, I'm being cremated. I already have the paperwork done.

How awful, so much for Rest In Peace Or until some idiots decide to rob the grave. Cool video, thanks for the upload

Wow! Amazing and creepy! I wonder how old those coffins were or how long that place has been there?

Where was this in va? Im from Va., was wondering if close to where I live.

That had to be done by grave robbers. Thanks for the video.

cremate me and scatter my ashes for the part that is me will no longer be on this plane

That is just horrible. Those poor departed souls. People should be ashamed to mistreat the dead like that.

I can’t believe that the relatives of the dead didn’t relocate them when this place closed that probably would’ve been 35-40 years ago but still.

You wonder what makes people desecrate a tomb like this. Graffiti on the coffin, coffin pulled out and emptied. Why...to have a human skull or a few bones? I hope they got haunted by who ever's tomb this was. LOL

how disrespectful all broken into even in the UK its not that bad coffin sprayed with paint how awful be afraid for my soul doing that just shocking

Sad sad situation. But brilliant video highlighting the situation of this mausoleum I hope and pray they get their internal peace soon and its been ether been blocked up or those caskets been relocated since this videos been made I hope.

why would they leave it like that with coffins still inside? also, how old is that mausoleum?

Why people they put dead bodies in mausoleums and caskets?this all wasting resources for nothing.

WHY YOU GOT TO TAKE THE CLOTHES OFF OF THEM..? Necrophilia..?? On second thought... Don't answer that question.

Thank you for posting this, it gives proof to the fact just how evil people can be. Good job on recording!

Wow.....that is ....I am speechless.... Can you tell me what part of Virginia this was at? Just curious. I am in Charlottesville, Va. Take care and thanks for posting such an interesting video. :)

So so sad

Cremation for me

Wow that's one crazy find !

wow! how do you find these places?? Great videos!

- common grave robbers.

I am part of the volunteer crew that is helping to reclaim East End Cemetery, which is next to Evergreen, location of the Braxton crypt. (The cleanup effort started at Evergreen but was discontinued when a dispute arose with Evergreen's owner.) I have visited the crypt many times, but I have chosen not to enter. To do so would be to continue a long series of desecrations. To enter, poke around, and in the process disturb articles within the crypt for the sake of a few minutes of video, as you did, and then to offer no context in the body of your work, is deeply disrespectful and inhumane. This is tragedy porn. The people laid to rest their matter. Their stories, their humanity account for more than this grisly series of clips.

I don't know who to be more ashamed of the family for letting it get like the the cemetery for allowing it or the idiots who tore it apart!! How sadly disgraceful!! Thank you for bringing it to view. Did you report it ??? So sad for those who should be resting in peace!!!

Where is this place at

Who breaks into a Mausoleum!??! Have you no respect? Disgusting. Totally disgusting.

Can't the deceased and their descendants have any peace and respect without people continuously *climbing into* this mausoleum to take pictures/videos? There are nearly 60 acres of additional neglect at this cemetery. And, filming human remains? Come on, man. Let's not add to the further desecration of this tomb. Abandon Virginia is better than this.

All the coffins empty or were some occupied?

What's the name on that mausoleum? Can anyone get in contact with next of kin to let them know what's happened to their relatives' remains?

Reminds me of a cemetery down the road from me. The town it belonged to doesn't exist anymore. The weird thing is that they pulled out a bunch of tombstones and made a road straight through the middle of the cemetery. They said many years ago that they moved the coffins to the graves, but that was discovered to be a lie when the road wore so thin that our vehicle fell into a casket under the road. (it was a dirt road, so erosion was bound to happen) I feel like I'm the only one who even cares about it anymore. People will take their trucks and burn their tires on the property, so there is barely any grass on the area. I would try to fix the broken and sunk tombstones the best I can. Sadly, I can't save all of them. There is even trees growing into the graves! It saddens me.

This is so Heartbreaking..Why would people desecrate these remains.

Good video. Thanks

This breaks my heart

It's sad what happened to this burial place.

why are those caskets empty, what happened to the bodies?

Nice that you documented your trespassing.

I wonder how old some of those coffins are? I don’t think I could go in there.

where in Virginia is this?

Brian, I hope the right people saw this. Extremely disrespectful leaving a mausoleum in that condition. Shame on who ever is responsible, and I hope conditions have improved.

Some cultures keep their dead and parade them around yearly... the dead do not feel, they do not judge, they do not care. Everyone that walks the catacombs in Paris likes the experience and no one says diddly about it. We who are left alive will die as well and would LOVE to be remembered. I do not mind if someone makes homage to my bones by showing me off to the world when the world has forgotten I existed. Kudos for the video and for not desecrating the tombs.

nice camera work.. you had to earn those shots.. good work!
