#JPVideos #AbandonedMausoleum - Zábava
To follow up about me mentioning of not knowing of any other places like this... I know there's other Abandoned Mausoleums & Cemeteries out there, but this is the only one that was purchased at a tax auction, and the new owners immediately tried forfeiting the sale & denied knowing they purchased a Mausoleum. However things pan out in the future, I'll keep documenting it.
Thanks for providing an update
Appreciate the update
Thanks for the update J. It should be a sin what’s happened to the mausoleum. I hate the graffiti. So disrespectful. Cranston RI is the worst I’ve seen. It’s here on YT. Good Shepherd is the worst I’ve seen for graffiti.
So sad! Lack of respect is a real problem. I hope something can be done to improve the situation there or all the bodies ma have to be relocated. That would be a burden to any families that may be left.
Money is always the big stop sign in any of these issues , and understanding the whole picture isn’t rocket science. I know the states have their own laws and procedures for this type of thing , my second call would be all and any health departments , city…county… then the state they can’t ignore the hazards that exist here ! Once it reaches the state level and the media , politicians will be scrambling to save face ,and their jobs . Good luck ,
That is really upsetting they're vandalizing the place now. 😠 Thanks to the viewer who is keeping the grounds
looking nice.
Chaos breeds chaos. Once they start vandalizing property, more follows behind.
Just gets sadder and sadder year by year. I will never understand why people have to destroy beautiful artwork. This is just beyond sad. Thank you for this update.
@Pam Brecht - Because people are evil, malicious animals. They respect nothing and no one. This has been a trend with the youth for decades, and we’re seeing the fruits of that indoctrination nationwide. People are abject trash.
It helps me to see the good people in this comment section, because the world has gone positively mad.
This so upsets me. I feel angry and more sad than anything. No respect, the people that let this happen should be made to pay! Thank you again Jason for another update.
Thanks for taking the time to watch
Same sentiment. More funeral directors should get involved and move all the deceased to a proper resting place.
Yes, someone should be held accountable. It's criminal to just walk away and abandon something like this.
@@1946luke You realize that these are businesses, right? Sometimes businesses go broke or the owners die off or whatever. No building can be a person's "final resting place". They all fail in 100 years or less unless you're going to spend tens of millions of dollars (for large mausoleums) to maintain and overhaul them like historic churches or other places. It's amazing that people still think this is a good idea for their final arrangements.
You said you didn't know of others. Watch Sidestep Adventures. Robert finds lots of abandoned cemeteries in Georgia. I've been thinking we didn't have that in PA. I guess I should look more. Thank you for caring.
There's definitely other abandoned Mausoleums & cemeteries, but this is the only one I know that was sold at a back tax auction and the new owners tried forfeiting the sale stating they didnt know they were buying a Mausoleum.
The abandoned cemeteries in those videos are family cemeteries which are quite different than this.
The stained glass window really got to me😢
Just horrible 😢
@@anissaantwine8510 Me too.I knew it would eventually.
Thank you to the wonderful person that is keeping up the grounds.
So sad to see the deceased still interred there. Also why can't ppl leave things alone. Whats the purpose of vandalizing anything let alone a mausoleum. Ty for sharing this with us.
I have been following this cemetery for many many years with utube. It makes me so sad to see the vandalism. Especially on the stained glass window. That was gorgeous. Thank you for the update and the video.
Thanks for the update on this very sad story. It makes me thankful that my parents and other family members are buried in a well maintained cemetery that I get to visit about once a year. I hope and pray this doesn't get any worse.
This is such a sad situation, hopefully someone will step in and make a change there. I sure wish those vandals could be caught and persecuted! I can't believe humans could be so disrespectful! Thank you JP for shedding light on what's going on there, hopefully it might help something get done.
One of the first videos I watched when I started watching your channel was the one about this place...No one living or deceased should be housed in something so dangerous and forgotten. It's so sad 😞... this is exactly why I will be cremated. ✌
Cremation is the way
I would like to be cremated too.
This is what build back better gets ya
That Literally has nothing to do with this.
This has been going on for sometime
Thank you for the update JP, I feel bad for the family that their loveones are still in there. Hopefully someone will step in and help.
We can only hope and pray for a positive outcome.
Paul, whomever you are, you’re the *real* MVP!!!!!! Thank G-d for people like you, man. This place needs the TLC you’re investing into it.
You’re awesome!!!!
Just proves that people really don't care about the living or the dead. In our local community there are more people buried in our cemetary than alive in our community, but all of us maintain the cemetary and the graves. Such a shame.
Oh wow, thank you for this update. It brought me to tears to see it this damaged. It is so wonderful that you continue to document it and you are always so respectful. I have seen your past videos on this place and like you, I have always had hope that somehow this place could be restored. Unbelievable to see the before and after photos and how it has changed. I feel so bad for those that were laid to rest there and the loved ones of those individuals. What really got me though is the condition of the beautiful stained-glass window, breaks my heart to see that. Great video. thank you JP!
Thanks for watching the continued updates. I'll never understand the mentality of those who did this, but lets hope it doesn't get worse.
Thanks for the update on this place. I just can't believe how unimportant human remains are to our culture.
So sad that the beautiful stained glass was destroyed! I don't understand how people can do that!!
Thank you for the update. This is a sad situation. The building is deteriorating fast.
Let's be blunt. This is a terrible idea for "final arrangements". These are businesses and businesses go broke. Name 10 American small businesses from the 1950s that are still around today. People can barely even name 10 large American corporations from the 1950s that are around today. The life expectancy of these buildings is 75 years (at best) even when they're brand new.
I feel a little better about the mausoleum where I have my mother that recently passed. It's roof is made of a heavy grade of iron. It's built on a large property with many graves, and plenty more land to keep expanding. For the price of what they're charging for these grave plots, there's no excuse for the property to go without adequate maintenance. I hope I never have to go through the trouble of moving a loved one out of a crumbling, neglected disaster like this.
I’m just sickened that the deceased is being treated like that and the people that owned this can leave it like that. I’m surprised there’s not a law against this.
It's very sad, but not overly surprising, considering today's society. People, these days are just greedy. I guess you could say it's part of the human condition. But bless you for caring. There should be more folks like you. Someone with conscious.
@@diane4549 aww! How sweet of you to say that. I do have a big heart that sometimes doesn’t feel like a blessing. I agree with you, people are just so different nowadays. My heart breaks a lot for so many things. Love and hugs to you. 🤗
Its crazy they are allowed to ignore it.
I can't believe the Town/County doesnt press them into action
Thank you for the update on this sad and disgraceful situation .. ( The grounds do look a lot better this visit ...)
Yes they do. Glad there was something positive to show.
@@JPVideos81 oh, and really appreciated seeing the before photos too ..
💙 Paul for the work you have put in.
It makes a difference
Hi Jay, I am so sorry that vandals have broken the windows in this Mausoleum especially the stained-glass window. These people get off on damaging places and it's an evil act they have done. Why wont the local township there done anything about it. No one is accepting ownership because if they do they would have that responsibility to pay for the many repairs and upkeep of the property and grounds. You are doing an amazing thing to keep this in people's minds every year until someone steps up to their responsibilities. I pray that one day someone will come forward and restore this place back to its former glory. Love .. Rea xx
I went back and watched your other videos on this. Absolutely horrible! When these people/families purchased their crypts it was with an implied expectation of continuous maintenance of the building. At the very least, their purchase price should be refunded to them. Since the building was not maintained, and is now condemned, they should not have to pay to have the bodies moved to another cemetery. Those who have already done this should be reimbursed for those expenses as well. Whether the township, or the municipality, the local government should have never let this property or the situation get this bad. Shame on all those responsible by their actions or non-actions. Thanks to you and the local news for your continued coverage and updates.
The company that originally did that obviously no longer exists.
He even mentions in this video that a company from out of state bought this site unseen & claims they were scammed they didnt know it was a Cemetery
just heartbreaking what was done. why do people feel like they have the right to destroy things. my heart goes out to the families who still have loved ones here. i pray they can get them moved to another location, but i know its not cheap. thank you for the update
So sad, this upsets me so much. I watched your first video about 2 or 3 years ago. Thank you so much for the update.
I left an erroneous comment before. I thought you said something about graffiti. As I saw later, there was none. Thank the Lord! I am sorry to see all the broken glass, especially the stained glass in the back. I feel awful for whàt will be done to those without family living to move them. Thanks J for keeping up with the situation…
Thank you Paul for trying to maintain the area
Thanks for continuing to share this with us, JP! Maybe one day there will
be good news on it.
The lack of respect for the deceased is very troubling. The lack of the owners and the locals to get involved is also. I can't even finish the video. Sad
so sad to be forgotten like that My heart goes out to the family
JP, thanks for the mention, great video, good updated information 👍The township was a waste of time, contacted them several times
Thanks for sharing everything with me
@@JPVideos81 no worries, more to come in the spring...
@@JPVideos81 great work jp its sad people have no respect for the dead just sick
Thank you for doing what you can to maintain the grounds. Because of your efforts I am able to pay my respects to my Grandfather when I am in Pennsylvania.
Thanks for the update, sad as it is. I feel so bad for the families of these people. I'm sure they paid hard earned money to place their loved ones here.
Unfortunately some who are layed to rest there have no one left to make decisions on their behalf.
@@JPVideos81 That makes it even more sad
JP, I have watched every single one of your videos regarding this situation. Words can't describe the feeling I have for any individual who would vandalize anyone's resting place. Sad enough to see this place in disarray due to funding.
Thank you again for the update and stay well.
Thanks for keeping up with the updates
This is a magnificent tribute to the souls there because you really made this video with outstanding respect. Thank you for sharing.
It's so very sad to see this. This shouldn't happen. The beautiful glass work, how can people do this, such destruction of a sacred place, Such an interesting video. Nice to see you again. 🍀🌷🌷🍀
Their seems to be plenty of these abandoned mosolium in our country so sad to see this.
It's forgotten & sad. Just seems odd no one is being made to relocate them & demolished the building. Thanks JP & I hope you will update us.
It all comes down to the cost. Family members are now having to pay again to have them relocated with the help of a funeral director.
If the funeral industry can't take care of their responsibility then they shouldn't promise something they can't deliver. An attorney who is willing to donate their time should get involved & create laws protecting consumers from this disgusting situation
Perfect representation of America in 2023.
Sad.
Thanks for the very respectful video.
Thanks for the update so sad
Just sickening, despite it all May they Rest in Peace.
Im sad about this. im with you i have no idea why anyone would want harm to this place?When family gets moved they clean up during and afterwards. I think they were taken to see what jewelry they may have in . Too often folks get robbed after they pass away .
This is really sad. It’s too bad that the people can’t be moved, either to a different mausoleum or buried.
TBH, I’m surprised someone didn’t just take a set of bolt cutters to that cable lock, instead of busting the glass.
This entire situation is so disheartening. These people were/are loved, and this is how they’re laid to rest. This has solidified my position that I will _NEVER_ be buried in a mausoleum. What a tragedy.
I want to be cremated after I die. Mausoleums are just no good in the end. Stuff like this is why.
@@joeruiz4010 - Totally understandable. However, have you heard of the random cremains left in basements, and offices/buildings of defunct cemeteries? There’s no guarantee anyone will respect the dignity of our earthly remains. The best we can hope for is our descendants will make sure we’re placed in an area better than the horror show above. 😊
Thanks for your reply.
@Sister Spooky To be honest, regarding Good Shepherd Mausoleum, the PA State Government should track down as many of the Families as possible and have a meeting with them. The PA State Government should pay for everything I'm proposing in writing below.
From there, convince everyone to let the remaining bodies be extracted from the crypt, be buried beneath ground on the Good Shepherd Property, bulldoze and scrap the abandoned buildings, and turn that place into a Memorial Park Nature Preserve.
Plant more trees and natural vegetation, and help Mother Nature reclaim the property and comfortably return everyone's remaining beings to the Earth. Build a big Memorial Wall for everyone there. All the names, and the names of those who would work to turn that place into a Memorial Nature Preserve.
In another 8 to 10 years, Mother Nature is going to just reclaim that land anyway.
Thank you for the update! I loved the music at the end with the pics. It evoked sadness which all of us feel as we watched this. Oh, for these vandals to gain some respect and realize what they are doing! Lord help us and our society. Thank you again and with appreciation…..🌝
Sad seeing loved ones final resting places fall into Disarray. Happening a lot these days to include cemeteries. Maybe someday, someone will take responsibility for it. Thank you for sharing JP
I watched it from the beginning and I saw all your pieces on this mausoleum and graveyard, as I said in the past it's very sad and I always think to myself when I'm dead and buried who's going to be looking after my grave and my loved ones grave because there is no one after me, so what is it going to look like the same thing could happen to me the mausoleum and the grave could go out of business, it's driving now but who knows, but just to see what it looks like now after these years it's horrible with people have done also, it really made me upset, and just to think nobody wants to take accountability for it, and how much money the people spend for this sites is really disgusting, hugs and I hope it ends for them soon and peace will be among them,
Seems like cremation is the only way to go.
This is disgraceful the township needs to do something thank you JP
The vandalism makes me I’ll, especially to the stained glass!! Thanks for returning!! 💖💙💖💙🤬💙
Good Grief🤬 This place just keeps going down hill🙀
Sadly that's a true statement
Honestly, I hope they can get most (if not all) of the bodies out before the roof completely caves in.
God bless you jp .
I believe this was on one of the first videos I watched from you. Very unfortunate for sure. Great video
Thanks for continuing to watch
Maybe 1 thing you could do is give people a means to contact that mortician to help people exhume more of these remains so that way, in the hopeful future it can just be people relocating these loved ones until that place is empty and can just be demolished.
I did notice one really big change between your last video and this one.
When the photo montage started you can see that there was a window or door along the right hand wall practically next to the entrance door to the cemetery office. In the current picture that seems to have disappeared.
So sad to be left like this and nothing being done. Idiots smashing windows and the beutiful stained glass window. Thanks for sharing.
that is a beautiful strained glass window, really sad to see it broken. yes that place has fallen further into disrepair.
No words other than, very sad.
Hopefully there is a happy ending for this location and peoples loved ones here . Why destroy the stained glass just makes me sad and 😠 to see this !! Thank you for coming back to give use a update on this location !! 👍👍Also I liked the music at the end you have used this in a past video I remember it well .
Ty
This is So Sad😢, As a Native Canadian
🧡🇨🇦🧡
thats a shame . i have seen the other video you have done on this . the people who have loved one there should do a class action lawsuit ..these people shouldn't be charged anything ...this really makes me angry....
Concerning the boxes of medication you pointed out. In times past it was legal to mail medication out of the country that were prescribed and over the counter meds as well. Charities were given this medication and they in turn sent them to the poor over seas. As long as the boxes or bottles weren't opened. Laws put in place now prohibit this practice. . 😔
The municipality should be on this!!!
That's soo sad😮 why can't they respect the dead!!
14:35
That music is so saddening. Bittersweet.
a lot of those names inside i saw are italian i'm surprised they didn't complain about their family bodies unless the whole family are gone---I have seen another place that was a whole lot worse coffins were taken out of the wall n opened n ripped apart i couldn't watch it all
Forcing entry was wrong thing to do. If I desperately needed entry, I may be more inclined to buy a bolt cutter, and leave a note, if no-one overseeing entry. However, damaging the beautiful stained glass window, demonstrates the worst of humanity, best wishes
Always upsetting to see vandalism💔
Only two minutes in, and this is why I don't want to be buried or interred anywhere. I don't want my remains to end up in some crumbling mausoleum or overgrown cemetery. Just cremate me and sprinkle me somewhere I loved being, so I'll be one with nature. The way the Good Lord intended.
Jp that's sad to see where is this located about someone should care for this property..what's the name of the township that owns it..
So unfortunate and sad that this is allowed to happen 😢
I hope someone can help them families
So sad, not even respect for the dead.
Good luck 😢😢
It takes some real effin scumbags to do something like that to this place yeah.
This is one problem with locations like this being posted all over the internet eventually they get trashed by idiots.
So about the boxes of stored childrens medication. I saw that much of it was allergy relief tablets which contain the active ingredient ephedrine. The tablets are broken down to extract the ephedrine which is used to illegally manufacture Methamphetamine. So basically it looks like the place was being used as a Meth Lab.
What better “unassuming” location to cook meth ??
Ok the doors i can understand, dont like it but understand it...the stain glass though, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to destroy that...people can be so thoughtless and ignorant!!!
Agreed
Between you and a couple of other youtubers I watch regularly I've been seeing this place deteriorate. It's so sad. The question that always comes to my mind is who buys land sight unseen?
Very good question
I feel that the glass was broken cos the doors were locked & they wanted to free their loved ones- i would definitely do that from seeing how bad it was xx
This is just a sad situation!!! 😢
This is upsetting... the goverment should intervene for the sake of dignity of these poor people.
Have you tried to contact state or county genealogical groups? They may be able to take some serious interest. Can you get a list of names of those buried there? If so maybe more families can be found. Brightest blessings... P.S. also posted on your FB page...
Hi JP how are you doing, this is still a crying shame, could you go over the townships head like to a state, or governor level to do anything about it, thank you for sharing
Everyone including new stations, newspapers, locals and more have spoke to higher-ups and not much can be done.
Just so so sad. I love to collect vintage medications and pills. Id love to have all those medicines you were showing in the beginning. I dont use the, but just showcase them in a glass display case. Also if i lived by, id love to cut all the grass and overgrown bushes and durbis from the office, and mauseloum. Heck. I could measure the building, and buy several heavy duty blue tarps, laser weld them together to make one giant tarp that wound cover the whole roof of the msdeoulm. I could use bricks to hold it down. Drape it over the edges, and tie it down in several places. This would be a very cheap way of keeping the roof from lesking and causing further damage. I would do this myself. I can get my hands on the tarps for free. Basically the roof of the mauseloum would be covered in one big blue tarp to protect it from further damage from the elements. There is also an easy way of catching the vandels. Get some motion activated wildlife cameras, hide them in several places in and around the mauleousrm, they hsve a super long life lithoum ion battery, and use a memory card to record the footage. Very cheap security system. Also i would purchase several of those bell and howell bionic flood lights they are motion activated and run off of lithium batteties and are charged by the sun. Very inexpensive. Heck i would be wiling to at least tarp the roof, seal up the windows, and install the motion activated cameras and floid lights. Would be a great start. Where is this place located? I am more of a winter cold weater guy, so id love to do all this work before the hot summer weather arrives. I could set up a go fund me to pay for some of the materials, but they are pretty cheap if someone seen me putting in the effort to make some repairs they msy reinburrse me for some of the matetials. I dont want any money for my time though. Just a thought. I have plenty of time on my hands.
Another thing that hit me was there are light fixtures hanging in the mauseloum. I wonder if there is any electrical power available? If so i do HVAC and i could install a all in one unit outside, ha d some DuctSox ductwork i side, and get some enviromental control going to help get rid of the mold and odor. Howevrr i dont think many want to pay the power bill for this. Better yet i could just use a good size dehumidifer for right now or mount a 24k btu window unit in one of the windows in the back side. Window could be removed, and a unit mounted in place. Would provide cooling and dehumidification at least. This along with roof tarped will prohibit any further mold growth, and keep things on the inside dry.
There's no power and unfortunately I don't believe the township will allow it to happen as it's tied up in the courts and a single party is refusing to take on ownership to pay back taxes and come up with a long-term solution to this property. You made some great suggestions though.
I just watched Lamont at Large who toured this place in 2020. I see they havent done anything to it.. Edit: The windows were not busted out last time. Disrespectful. But its good to see some of the deceased are being moved. Hopefully all will find their final resting place so soon.
This is terrible that the deceased
Are totally disrespected like this.
The only thing that can be done is reaching out to the family members who have family buried in the vaults. To see if they will give the okay to have the remains that are there removed and put in another location. If the family gives am okay then the remains can be moved the second thing is the family may not have the money then you will have to go with a go fund me to raise money to have the remains removed and put in another location.
This is even so sad. I will never Understand why People do things like this. I'm sure in my Generation we had people who did things like this. In fact I'm so sure Generations before us did things too but it seems as if one of the most talked about was mainly just carving your Initials in trees and on Bridges. Sad just so sad.
Very sad
If I owned a cemetery, I'd let the families who had loved ones' there, let them relocate the remains' to my cemetery at no cost. I'd even section off an area just for them. New headstones' & caskets/Urns' if desired.
Incredibly sad
So sad
had my car here for pictures a month or so ago and it looked just like that so sad
Perpetual care my big fat A ... this is incredibly sad and so disrespectful. I think the governed areas should round up unemployed and low risk jail birds to have field days to keep thesr places tidy. As far as the building, it probably wouldn't be rocket science to place a canopied roof to at least stop weather elements.
This is shameful. Where is this cemetery located?
.. but if someone's grass gets too tall or a house sits till it falls apart, the city will fine them or tear it down 🙄 Someone has to be responsible for this.
We have been trying to have my grandfather's casket exhumed for years. No answers anywhere we go.
☹️
