Somehow, I never accept buildings like this as "final resting places". They seem to be more like storage spots, and after everyone who may have remembered you also dies, your future is, at best, uncertain. These buildings will not stand forever. Someone in the future will decide there is no purpose in keeping them maintained. Better to be buried in a cemetery, which at least serves future generations as a park or outdoor space to enjoy.
Masauleum interments are only increasing in popularity. They continue to be built. There are buildings still standing from Roman period. Always make sure you’re dealing with a cemetery that has large financial reputable backing. Nothing is guaranteed in the future. Even a burial can be disturbed.
Wow beautiful those statues are amazing. I did not realize that Rudolph Valentino passed at such a young age. Thank you for all the history. May they all rest in peace. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Such a beautiful place. I might be short sighted, but sometimes I wonder, due to the incredible cost of interment here, are memorializing their life or their death? Thanks for this fantastic video
Great tour! I look forward to more visits here. I'm not a fan of Valentino , but that corner where is crypt is located by the stained glass window is one of the most peaceful places I've ever seen.
I got emotional over Valentino. My appendix burst when I was 13.I know how painful it is. I almost died. I wish to G-d he could of had my scar on the right side of my belly and lived to a ripe old age.😢
When you were at Davud White niche, wish you would have went down one rolll to your left and showed Rick Jason niche he played Lt Hanley on TV series Combat. I just heard you say you will be back so hopefully you will show it then.
@@CryptDoor Yep. Ambient noises can definitely mess you up with what you are trying to do. Even echo inside a mausoleum messes thing up. So, on your next visit, if the other sounds do interfere, use you scanning app. It would be interesting visiting a celebrity's gave which attracts alot of attention and visitors, maybe the deceased celeb has something to say and wants to be heard.
June Mathis, who "discovered" Valentino, "lent" him her crypt. So Valentino has been in a borrowed crypt all these years. And June is entombed right to him. Tom McLaughlin is still alive. Hes a writer and director most famous for "Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. I was an invited guest at the dedication for Toto's (Terry's) cenotaph monument. Its had roughly 5 diffetent locations since its dedication due to construction. But its roughly in the same area, give or take 20 feet, of its originsl placement. Both Helen Chandler and Edmun Gwenn were originally placed in vaultage at Chappel Of The Pines, in Los Angeles. And now they are niche mates for eternity. Down below David White is the wife of Ed Wood, Jr., Katherine Wood. She was portryed by Patricia Arquette in the movie, "Ed Wood," staring Johnny Depp. Too bad you couldnt head down the opposite corridore to see Peter Lorre.
Beautiful mausoleum, the stain glass is totally awesome! I really love the old style name plates on the crypt covers, but I have to wonder; some of those crypts seem small for coffins, perhaps it is a very tight fit. 🤔 Valentino's crypt does not look that big. This was a great walking tour, thank you very much Tony. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and happy new year 🎉. 😊
Silly question, but I wonder if the grave plaques of the more-famous people such as Valentino are periodically replaced? 5:16 That plaque looks remarkably new for someone who died 97 years ago; not the least bit faded. 10:16 Mina Parker from "Dracula" is now resting next to Kris Kringle from "Miracle on 34th Street."
BTW I’m amazed how many young actors & actesses died young in the 1920’s & 30’s. You’d think they would have received better medical care even for that era.
Are there no layover times for mausoleums in the USA? In Germany it is 40 - 60 years. But here hardly any people are buried in mausoleums anymore. The trend is towards urn burial
@@CryptDoor The usual rest period for urn graves is between 10 and 20 years. Burrowers usually have a dormant period of between 20 and 30 years. If the soil is particularly clayey, a rest period of up to 40 years is required.
No. You purchase the plot of land or the niche and its yours/the family's forever. Or, until the cemetery land is sold and they move you (re: Colma, Ca.)
A very lovely place! The Faris? ossuary behind glass was beautiful! Tom Mclaughlin is still alive, but what a joke, to never have your death date added to your monument, and making people think twice! Sad story about Toto/Terry, but it happens alot in many locations.
Funny. The Valentino crypt used in AHS was not the real Valentino crypt. That scene was filmed on the second floor of the Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum in Altadena, Ca.

Your totally right, they are only maintained while they are still making a profit. Then who knows what will happen.

@@night5091 True that! Always do your homework and try to pick a good one if you are financially able to.
There are so many mosoleums that fell into disrepair
That's debatable...
Wow beautiful those statues are amazing. I did not realize that Rudolph Valentino passed at such a young age. Thank you for all the history. May they all rest in peace. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I wonder what that place will look like in a thousand years.
I doubt it will be in existence in a thousand years.
Probably at the bottom of the Pacific after the Big One hits and California slides into the ocean.
Yes kuddo to my friend Arthur Dark of Hollywood graveyard for that
Beautiful mausoleum love the statutes and the way it was made. merry christmas tony and family.
Happy holidays!

Thanks for this fantastic video
The music was chosen well ❤
Amazing, as usual.
Very interesting about Toto!
Great tour! I look forward to more visits here. I'm not a fan of Valentino , but that corner where is crypt is located by the stained glass window is one of the most peaceful places I've ever seen.
You did great on the voice over!
Thank you!
Thanks❤
You're welcome 😊
What a beautiful mausoleum!!!
Thank you for taking us along.
My pleasure
Oops!! Little error Peter Finch was 65 not 60. Beautiful mausoleum
glad you mentioned Edmund Gwynn......Kris Kringle from Miracle on 34th Street.
Unfortunately, at the time I filmed that video he had not been placed in there yet
I was there on the day of his inurnment. Wonderful ceremony and turnout.
Love it ! So interesting!
Amazing building . Nothing like this in the uk 😮

Hi - I hope when you go back you show the lead light windows as I would love to see the windows whole thankyou
So many famous people seem to be just stashed away in the vault. 😢

Yes, I plan on going back
You should have used your scanning app. Maybe Valentino would like to have communicated with one of his visitors.
Like I said, audio was screwed up in there from the outside noise so the voiceover would’ve drowned it out anyway.
@@CryptDoor Yep. Ambient noises can definitely mess you up with what you are trying to do. Even echo inside a mausoleum messes thing up.

By the dates show for Peter Finch he was 64 (65 if alive on 28th Sept 1977)
June Mathis, who "discovered" Valentino, "lent" him her crypt. So Valentino has been in a borrowed crypt all these years. And June is entombed right to him.

They're normal-sized crypts.
@@terrymyers699Oh OK. Thank you. Funny what Glaucoma will do to your eyesight.
It be real helpful, if you would use a stronger light for those dimly lit areas. The camera' lighting isn't enough, tks anyway.
10:05 shoutout to @Hollywood Graveyard
I wonder how many still have regular visits, or have they been forgotten?😢

Yeah, I noticed it looks really clean also.
I was wondering exactly the same thing
Helen Chandler is next to ed gwenn who was the Santa Claus in miracle on 34th Street
Simple answer. No. Valentino's crypt marker is very well maintained and polished... Unlike most of the tarnished markers in the mausoleum.
BTW I’m amazed how many young actors & actesses died young in the 1920’s & 30’s. You’d think they would have received better medical care even for that era.
I know it’s crazy

Layover times, as in the body is only inside the mausoleum for so many years? We don’t have that here it’s forever to my knowledge.

Just goes to show you, no matter how rich or famous you are the clock of life has an expiration date.
A very lovely place!
The Faris? ossuary behind glass was beautiful!
Tom Mclaughlin is still alive, but what a joke, to never have your death date added to your monument, and making people think twice!
Sad story about Toto/Terry, but it happens alot in many locations.
👍🏼👀✨🎄
(I guess Mr Valentino gets a lot of visitors’ because of American Horror Story?🤷🏻✨
From what I hear he’s been getting visitors like that for years
@@CryptDoor oh,ok I understand.Thank you for telling me👍🏼👀✨

The statues... Were they the disciples?
Yes
