I always find these places extra creepy. When I was about 5 years old, we lived near the Bergen Crest Mausoleum in North Bergen, NJ. I always wanted to go inside, my parents thought I was nuts. At 18, I went in with a girlfriend. An elderly employee kicked us out, saying "Its not for sight seers". About that mausoleum, famous New York City funeral director Frank Campbell had crypts there for himself and his mother. When he died, his bronze casket was so massive that it would not fit in the crypt. So they just stored it in an enclosed storage space under a stairway. And then forgot it was there. Nobody knew where his body was for decades, until one day they looked in the storage space and found him. The funeral home had the casket, with Frank still inside, moved to Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, where they buried him in the ground.
While growing up I use to have a reoccurring dream that I was running through a cemetery and looking back and seeing a woman carrying a baby. I asked my mom if we use to live near a cemetery and take walks in it I freaked her out asking that ... Because there was no way I would know that. When she was pregnant with me and my sister who is 15 months older her and my dad lived next to a cemetery and would walk through it as a short cut.
Beautiful mausoleum, very well maintained. The planters are cool! That door moving got my attention. The stain glass is beautiful. Great video, thank you very much Tony. Have a great day. 😊
Hey Tony! Did you look behind the door that was rattling? Thanks for the video! If it was an impromptu video, it was well done, and no apologies are needed! This is a very beautiful Mausoleum and it is very well maintained. Hopefully they can continue to keep it going into the future! Back before forced air ventilation and other systems, there was a method for using kerosene lamps to create a draft, to burn the gases and to deodorize the areas. I wonder if this building may have had such a system? It would explain the area between the crypts, as modern mausoleums no longer use a space between the crypts. The pharmacy cup, is a mortar and pestle, and was used to compound the drugs by the pharmacist. Sadly, pharmacists no longer do such work at the local pharmacy, as the main work is done at the central pharmacy! But it is quite common for people to have decorations of their professions at their grave site.
When I looked in that area in between, I did not see any of those kerosene burners. I did do a video during the summer that I found a mausoleum that had those. And behind the rattling door was just a storeroom with a bicycle lol.
@@CryptDoorHaha! It ruins the spooks theory! I wonder that they may have removed the lamps over time as more modern practices came along? Or they never had them in favor of other ways? The process is hard to find as such information isn't talked about much on the internet, unless it is by people who study it, like you and I. The subject of death and body storage isn't a subject too many would find interesting. So we don't have large repositories of knowledge. But knowing why people did what they did after encasing a body in a box, and placed them in stone structures meant to last eternity. It isn't talked about often.
Beautiful mausoleum and amazing stained glass! Wonder if the glass is Tiffany? I find the ferns interesting. We don’t see them in mausoleums here in WV.
IIRC, Cypress Lawn says they have a total of 5-6 Tiffany windows at the cemetery, but they don't disclose the locations (for obvious reasons) and some have been removed for safekeeping. Three Tiffany windows at one private mausoleum were destroyed by an earthquake in 1952 and were never replaced. I know there are two still extant in private mausoleums on the historic east side.
This was a good video. Thank you for sharing. you went to a lot of areas. I’ve never walked through. The room with the fountain I’ve always called that the blue room, and the other room you went through. I call it the castle. It reminds me of a castle, and when I do go I always go visit the little ones. One day I was there, and I was really close to where the little ones are laid to rest. I was cutting flowers when I heard a little girl laughing I went out to investigate and there was no one there.
I cant help but imagine ppl going to visit loved ones in clothing of years gone by & how some of these were in there decades befire WW2. It just fascinates me
Yup. Another breezy day. Any vented structure, with an unlocked door, could open or close on it's own. But then again, you were being invited to come-on inside! So, what was inside? You know you looked.
I can't believe how much maintenance it must take to water and take care of all of those ferns that are in planters in front of all of those crypts. That door was really creepy, even if it was a draft...
I wonder what would happen if places like this were hit with a 7-8 magnitude quake? I wonder if that is taken into consideration when building these mausoleums?
With 1906..these Cemeteries began bldg so bodies SF new resting places. N these glass panels had With stand 1989 quake...which i heard Italian Gentleman would repair panels. Aunt/Uncle owned florist Store on Hillsice Blvd Colma/Daly City.
Love this mausoleum. I hate to see the stone crumbling, though. My dad is buried in a simular mausoleum in Chicago, and I've often wondered what will happen to these beautiful buildings in 100 or 200 years as they start to deteriorate. What will happen to the coffins? Who will be responsible for reinterment when no family members are left to contact?
Was wondering if yall were ok with the crazy weather. They most likely let most of the bulbs burn out before replacing because that looks like a pain to do it😊 Is this the oldest part? Love all the amazing stained glass❤❤

Wow he had a place and yet he was put in the ground ! No way

Beautiful, the newer final resting nic cost $. Interesting to compare in an older building . Thanks for the tour. Love the stain glass.
How much does it cost in those nic as a final resting place . They look very new and in a well view area 🤔
I love your videos! I always watch! This is a pretty upscale mausoleum for having such a rickety old wooden door…..😁

One of the best musileuim videos I've seen!😊
I can't believe how much maintenance it must take to water and take care of all of those ferns that are in planters in front of all of those crypts. That door was really creepy, even if it was a draft...
Time stamp 14:42, as you say they put these niches in here, you can clearly hear a male's voice grunting twice, like it's agreeing with you 😮

Lovely building, but why didn't you look inside the door??? I would have had to check it out!!
I did it was just a storeroom with a bicycle probably an employees.
Awww. no great and mysterious treasure then! Maybe the next one .....😁@@CryptDoor

Yeah, this is the oldest part.
TONY All The Times Filming n Going To Cemeteries Did You Ever Think You Had or Have A Spirit(s) Hang Out With You?
There were times where I felt a presence, but nothing long-term
Frank G. Hollingberry died the same day Kennedy was shot! In addition, the stories that could be told by those people who have gone before!
Are there other folks around you or are you making all the other sounds? Kinda creepy...
There was just building noises may be a worker in a corridor that was pretty far away, but it would echo. I wasn’t aware of a bunch of other noises.
its wind or a breeze
