THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

They are not forgotten when you visit them, thank you.
There is nothing wrong with walking upon graves. Large mowers roar over top several times a year. The greater disrespect is to not visit these sites and to give remembrance of these peoples' lives. Hans.
I totally agree🙏
I am handicapped and can't go visit my loved one's graves. But you know what my brother is into the genealogy and is on "Find A Grave" website and he's posted pictures of all the relatives graves so I just go in the web site and can visit the Graves and even they have it where you can place different types of flowers or notations for the Graves you visit. People on the site will go to cemeteries in their stats if you ask them and take pictures of Graves of your loved ones and send them by emails to you so you can even visit loved ones not buried in your own state. It's a wonderful network they have going and it's all free!!!
@@joycehook4832 ive been a contributor/ volunteer for 10 years for find a grave. It can be fairly difficult sometimes but very satisfying to help people see the grave of their loved ones
@@SarahBlueJ I really appreciate what you do my great great grandparents are in mt carmel not to far from AL unfortunately there are no pictures of their Graves yet I did find on find a grave my great grandparents Graves across the street from there unfortunately I live out of state and can't go there but hopefully in the near future I can
@@krystlesmith2806 have you tried making a request for their photo? It notifies people who are volunteering near their cemetery.
You can go back every week I will not get bored. That’s a beautiful cemetery. Thank you for the stroll
Some people just have to be negative . Be positive and nice 👌
agree..thank you!!
Use good for gf I definitely rcx
Sir this is Gerri I hope you and your family is well. You came upon a grave and the man's first name was Rosario, so strange because my fiance's last name is Rosario. I thought at first he was Italian and he said he's half Native American and Mexican American. He's in the military Army in Iraq in the red zone. He's a Green Beret sharp shooter. I physically never met him but texted over a year. He should be coming home soon. He always sent me money which surprised me. That's why awhile back could you go to the military section of St. Joseph cemetery in Chicago, my uncle James Edward Petress is buried. Thank you sir very much. I know I call you sir and I'm alittle older than you but that's the way I was raised.
My cousins went to West Proviso High School across the street. They would go to the cemetery after school to walk around. Thank you for returning.
The old pictures on the graves are fascinating!
That Capodice Lady is drop dead gorgeous...
I said for years that my tombstone will have small writing on it that, when people stoop to read it, will read, "Hey! You're standing on my chest!" Obviously, I don't see any problem with walking/standing on graves. Now, for all those folks who promised to dance on mine, have at it. I won't care.
I live in IL and my adoptive great grandfather is burried there. U need to go there and I see nothing wrong with what you are doing! I love how you make these videos! MEANS ALOT to all of us!!!!!!!!!!!
As we tour these beautiful resting places it makes me think how many really were immigrants, the hardness of relocation and survival (no federal welfare), the plight of survival for some during the great depression and how these beautiful giant sized, (undoubtedly expensive) these monuments were back then and question how did they afford these lasting memorials. Breathtaking history in my eyes. Enjoyed the stories and tours within this cemetery. Wow.
This cemetery is hauntingly beautiful! I could spend a lot of time there too. I've never seen where they have so many pictures on one stone
I was lucky to be able to spend time in the Tuscana, Italy. I love cemeteries, the older the better. I was able to visit one near Pisa, it was something I've only seen on TV. I expected the Godfather to step out.. just beautiful. Carmel is ornate like it but it was packed, I believe all mausoleums and graves on top. Just surreal.. and real. Thank you
February 1918 - April 1920 are the dates for the Spanish Flu Pandemic. Thank you so much for showing us this. My family is buried here Delpino's .
Hi Ron, I sent you a private message on your Instagram page. This really is a lovely cemetery with some beautiful statues and headstones and I love seeing the enamel photographs on them. I would like to see more here please. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖🤘
Thank you for the most respectful comments you do for the deceased.
Thank you so much. You are so respectful to the deceased. Please look after yourself though, you are still very breathless
It would seem that a whole series could be done about this cemetery. The Spanish flu was around 1918 to 1920
Sometimes I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. But I truly enjoy seeing these cemeteries and their beauty. I love your story telling too. I know some are horrible and tragic but some of these stories/ murders I never even heard about. Keep doing what your doing I appreciate and enjoy it.
As a Italian Catholic it so heartwarming to see and sad at the same time. I wish I knew their stories too. Mt Carmel is a journey back in time.
Nothing is wrong with You 🤗
Me too, And so Many people Do...
like these Cemeteries...
Very Peaceful Pleace🙏💐
After All, We All Will End Up in a Box”
@@dulcehajjar5826 I love watching Ron's videos, they are so interesting and keep me coming back for more. I really love the old cemeteries and headstones with photographs. I would love to go see some of these beautiful cemeteries someday! Thank you Ron for taking us along for the ride, it's much appreciated. ❤️
Thank you so much for your videos! You're always respectful, that means so much. I'm a history nut and it's overwhelming to try and fathom the contributions made by our ancestors. Thank you sir!
Oh yes please do a weekly at Carmel. My favorite cemetery, thanks to you! God speed!
this Friday episode 12!! 2PM Central time.
it's good one....another Italian Bride?
Thank you for returning, I have my m and dad, sister, brother in-law nephew and many aunts and uncles buried at this cemetery. You showed before Battalia I believe at one of your videos my parents are behind that small building mouselum. This cemetery is so beautiful. There's an area where there's a middle row of babies further down in a section. With photos of many babies. Don't know the section but you will find it one day
Yet I can say this cemetery had a large section of Italian families. Many known Italian.
Yay! You made it to over 10,000 subscribers. Responding to anyone commenting that you are stepping on graves...
1. I don’t see those people out there keeping history and these peoples memory alive!
2. Not all graves are positioned where it’s easy to not step on them. Especially if they are close together. My daughters grave is positioned where it has to be stepped on by the person at her feet if that family wants to be at their loved ones grave.
3. To be able to get close ups of pictures and remember these people it is worth a possible step on the grave area.
4. If I was dead I wouldn’t mind someone stepping on my grave to read my stone and remember me.
Thank you!!!!!!
Can you believe it on 10,000 subscribers? I’m blown away...
I shot a video today at the Pet Cemetery (2) that I’m going to publish tomorrow for everyone, and I talked about this.
Truly grateful.
WELL SAID 👏
The gentlemen is doing a wonderful job thank you sir.
Yes do another one please of My. Carmel I really enjoy it😉 and you are doing a wonderful job don't let negative folks get to ya😘
Great vid! Thanks for more Mount Carmel Cemetery. The Spanish flu began in Feb 1918 and ended around April 1920
Thank you Sr you are very respectful and thank you for showing us all this beautiful graves. Be bless
THIS CEMETERY AMAZES ME, SO MUCH TO SEE , NEVER DID I SEE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CEMETERY, WHAT AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU PAY TRIBUTE TO MOST OF THE ONES ON YOUR TRAVELS , THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALL ALONG 🙏🕊❤
Di anni in Italian is age... literally it translates to “of years”
I noticed on Palumbos head stone that Ignacio and Charles were born both in 1896 but not twins and only 7 months apart! Interesting!
Sad though that all her children died young! Yes more Mt Carmel please :) All day, every day lol
People need to get over that "Don't step on graves!" They run riding lawn mowers over them all the time & if they are unmarked how would you know if you're stepping on one or not? What are people supposed to do "hover" above them at all times, seriously people 😏
The Italian families went all out on there tombstones. The sculptures are beautiful
Thank You for all you are doing. The beginning of this I believe us where that lady passed on wedding day barrier in wedding dress n has yet to decompose really a miracle. Thanks again thus is my Family Cemetery use to visit all so many Sunday's n Holidays. Rest in Peace All
EYL Chris from Chicago❤
I just love the way you do your video's I have been going back and watching them all I'm so glad I came across your channel good work stay safe out there
Loved the walk around looking at those beautiful tombstones. The pictures just bring more meaning to the person when looking at them. I was just wondering, how do they mow the grass there without running over the graves? How do they have funerals without stepping on graves, or use devices for digging graves without touching another grave? I have never seen any type of disrespect in your videos.👍👌😂
thank you..as always!
@@FacesoftheForgotten 👍
Thank you so much for this site. The history of the forgotten and their final resting places is amazing. The art work is fantastic. Please sir, be very careful in these cemetery s that you visit. I hope you are not alone,why because here in New Jersey we too have very old cemetery s with beautiful art. We have had visitors at these graves that have been mugged. Be very careful and be safe. DONT Go ALONE.
Really enjoying this. As an aside, my mother (1908-1984) absolutely loathed grave photos; why, I don't know; she had some rather peculiar ideas. I myself find them fascinating. They prove that a person actually existed - a person who has the right to be recognized if not remembered by the living who knew them! They provide a little insight as to who that person was. I'll never understand why Mama was so against grave photos.
wow love the tours of graves I'm rita I live in Malta and yes they still make grave stones here thanks lots
I love faces of the forgotten so much so interesting and learn so much God bless the soul's of the departed
Wonderful statues and pictures of the people.
14:21 Gorgeous! I wish I could find a resin statue like this online of Mary, Queen of Heaven and Christ child. I love this statue.
A lot of people back in the 20's and 30's passed away from TB. May explain some of the deaths from that era.
statues are just beautiful and stunning and great workmanship too
I stumbled on one of your vlogs and now I can’t stop watching!! Love ur vlogs sir!! ❤️
Love this channel. Especially how you just get straight to the subject matter without the bs that others sometimes use.
Also, you genuinely are an interesting person and make what otherwise is a grim subject in to a very watchable video.
Keep up the great work.
Surrey, UK.
THANK YOU, that is a great compliment.
My family is at Mt Carmel, I love all these. A lot of Italians!
I love reading the monuments and looking at the pictures!
Once the pandemic is over get you're self to England we have some beautiful cemeteries and graveyards. Love your channel along with Lamont at large . The best 2 on CZcams. Dont make me pick though 🤣
I will get there. OH MY GOD, the cemetery's have to be incredible!! I love going far back, I discovered one the sir John Franklin ships of 1845 in 2011, battling Canada government. Some of the men were brought back and reinterred, like Dr. Goodsir I believe, my first stop would be near Portsmith, the docks.
On channels, I am so grateful and amazed, thank you. On picking?...Lamont is the master. He inspired me!! He is number 1, and will be. I hope he stays safe and healthy, we need him doing his thing..
@@FacesoftheForgotten Thanks for the reply I live near Manchester we have southern cemetery the 2nd largest in Europe plenty of famous and not so famous in there. Looking forward to the next vid take care pal .
I love this cemetery and how respectful you are. There is a lot of history shown in the portraits of hairstyle, clothing and aging. Keep up the good work and do not listen to trolls.
I really enjoy your videos
I absolutely love this cemetery!!! It is so beautiful and haunting with all the statues and pictures!!!
For somebody that's not Italian you do a good job with the names.
My dad went to mount carmel highschool in the 1940's, but its nowhere near the cemetery. They used to be a football powerhouse, one of the best in the country.
I was a swimmer and swam against them. They always had a good team.
Evanston Township in the Early 70's
I think nothing of walking round my own church yard here in England, reading names , seeing whole families and all of there infant children... and reading inscriptions...... hello friend stand and stare as once I was you , u will be me , prepare for death and follow me .... I mean I’m totally fascinated... it’s kept me grounded ... I think it’s a heathy fascination, I’ve never took drugs etc etc and I love the dead because I have so many family and friends there .... ❤️be grateful for everyday and never be to mad at anyone ❤️
Some people are still remembered even if nobody visits their graves. Families often move far away.
Love this, I do, my Mother is buried with her parents here in California at Cemetery very similar, and I love walking through it, it's so beautiful like this one
Wow u are spoiling us with new videos daily! Thank u sir! I love cemetery's so I anxiously await for your vids
and the history behind some of these people :)
don't get spoiled, ha ha. I'll typically try for 1 to 2 a week. Right now on a roll!! :-) Pet Cemetery 2 tomorrow if all goes smoothly.
@@FacesoftheForgotten I cant wait! Your videos are honestly the highlight of my day! Thank u!!
Mr.Ulie lived 107 years WOW what stories he could tell !!
You can make it anyway you want. Always entertaining!
Yes I do enjoy your checking out these different Cemeteries. They are fanciateing.
My Prayers Goes out to
The People that passed Away” 👏💐
RIP 🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Great Video. You also showed my Great Grandparents monument Rocco Family
Thank You
wow this place is unreal! I love all the photos and the unique stones. Thank you so much for the videos!
Yes every week 👍 I love all the videos
Great video Ron and it is impossible to walk on graves in a Cemetery at times. We buried my Husband’s Mother on the December 30, 2020 and right below where her grave is are two people buried, but they do not have a grave marker on their graves. The Gentleman at the Cemetery told us some people do not want Grave Markers on their graves. Keep up the great work you do and have a bless week.
Another great video. I really like the old photo's. People back then dressed with class. Hoping you are feeling better. Take care.
What a difference a gimbal makes, your shots are looking very pro like. Not quite up to Arthur Dark"s level, but your getting their. All you need now is a dead cat and your set.
it's history of the past love this stuff
I guess you grew up near a graveyard I think I heard you say. So did I, and I had to walk over a little walking bridge across a river and out through all the graves of my ancestors in northern Ohio when I walked to school every morning. I spent a lot of time playing in and around the river and that graveyard, hiding among the graves and such. Never did see a single spirit but it always felt peaceful there. There was a big crypt built right on the riverbank that you could go into, the stone door was open, but it was spooky and damp.
we were kids going there...it's now in our blood! 😊
SIR...you are very Kind
And Respectful, for that I am your
Subscriber! 🙏👏
Great Job always 👏👏
lots of love to you and your
Family❤️❤️❤️❤️
Made it through all 4. Thanks again!
Al Capone has been seen standing next to his grave there? I'm 52 w awful memory. Also thank you for telling us what the headstones are made of. Its very interesting.
Thank you
Thank you for doing this. I continue to be amazed at the beautiful works of art that adorn these Graves as markers. When did it go out of fashion to put so much effort and thought into something to mark the final resting place of your loved ones? Personally I've never had the opportunity to see markers of this stature. Here in Oklahoma, the local cemeteries usually have the plain granite or flat metal plates as markers. Probably the most elaborate markers I've seen are the 'Woodman of the world' markers. These markers that you are filming are true works of art and a mostly forgotten practice. Ron, please don't listen to the trolls and their negative comments, unfortunately CZcams is a prime opportunity for unhappy people to try to bring others down. The rest of us are appreciative of what you are doing and we can see how respectful you are of the Graves. Please continue providing us with your videos and stories. Again, thank you.
Awesome videos. Again you RAWK. Thank you for these. Know need to explain anything. Your very respectful.
Another great visit to Mount carmel enjoying Yr daily videos thank you stay safe
I was just watching another video of yours and in pops this ☝️ Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Great tour. The pictures make the people come alive to me. You could write a story for each person based on their clothing and facial expressions. I bet most of the Italians and Irish born in the late 1800s were immigrants.
I swear these people have come back as other persons because I have seen younger versions of them alive and in other decades....
I Love Mount Carmel videos!!
I’ve got three more episodes coming over the next month that were shot last fall!! 😀
@@FacesoftheForgotten Cool 💝💝💝
Rocco family... could have been Spanish flu, I have an ancestor that died in 1922 from Spanish flu
You do a fantastic job. I really enjoy the beautiful stones & your information. You are always respectful of the graves & families ♥️🕊
Wonderfully done!
I love looking at the old pictures🙂🌺
Yes, thank you .
Do not let negative comments deter you from your quest of compassion. If you clean and put flowers on some graves for their souls. Keep doing what you are doing!! Such a drive fot the forgotten! Hugs
Thanks Betty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. Interesting content. I always wanted to check out Mount Carmel Cemetery. Im a southsider
I do have to say this is one beautiful cemetery. Very nice stone work on the head stones. It's very interesting looking in some of the mausoleums to see what items are in there. There's an old cemetery in Long Grove on Robert Parker Coffin Rd next to the church. Very old head stones. Take care.
I know it well, I live nearby. OLD white Church by the bridge, to the west of the bridge up the hill.
VERY old
@@FacesoftheForgotten You are correct. I am not far either.
Really appreciate your videos, my blessings to yous all 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌹💕
I like this cemetery.
I like pictures of the departed on their markers .
It is fine to gently step on graves in order to photograph them. Big mowers go over them throughout the year.
Really enjoy this cemetery! Do it weekly!
Check out the playlist I did 18 of them
Fascinating stuff.. Thank you for bringing us this glimps into the past
The Italian graves more often have photos on their grave markers.
There my favorites so beautiful ❤️
Would love it if you did the cemetery all the time
I would love to know some of their stories. Some of these monuments cost thousands of dollars. Would be interesting to know what they did for a living. All my relatives 50-200 years ago, were dirt poor and some couldn’t afford a grave.
THAT is the question I ask over and over, always...
@@FacesoftheForgotten I was under the impression it was hard times, but I guess not in everyone’s world.
@Martha Fogelin How true. They had tough times for sure. And I pray this virus leaves us soon! I lost 2 more friends to Covid today. Scary time.
@Martha Fogelin I am so very sorry Martha. You are right. No one should die alone. My condolences on the loss of your brother. 🙏🏻
I know exactly where you are at. On the other side of that building in the entrance (there is sort of a hill ,that's where I usually park) where you were in the beginning of the video are some cool pictures on graves. They have some after death photos on their graves (sometimes that was the only picture that would of been ever taken of them).You can tell they are deceased and their eyes are still open . It was common back in the day to have your eyes open during the funeral/wake. I was told by a cemetery worker , in the 80's they put people who died of AIDS in that part of the cemetery because it was the older part of the cemetery and back then they weren't sure if the AIDS virus can be contracted even after the person died. So they put them there cause it's less foot traffic . I believe he is somewhat correct because the person we visit did die of AIDS in 1986. The graves all have 1986 as the death dates and their in the isle between the older graves .
where exactly?? I didn't see them, I would like to go back and look...video. let me know!!
@@FacesoftheForgotten I'm going to see where my family member is buried. I know it by heart but never paid attention to the actually numbers. It's in her area where she is buried.
@@jossiesoto6961 - cool, thank you so much, send it on Instagram. Then I will go over there for sure and get you video!!
Mount Carmel every week or so sounds great! BTW: Don’t do stone rubbings with paper & pencil! Extremely hard on those old, fragile stones. Look it up. Thanks for the cool videos...love them!
Right on Meredith. Also, I don't think we should be trying to make repairs. These stones and portraits are PRICELESS, it should be done by someone who is an expert...like what adhesives are flexible and not brittle. DO NOT USE LIQUID NAILS.
@@FacesoftheForgotten I get the reference. Agreed!
I did small little vlogs from there and can't wait to get back and I'd love to explore queen of heaven too!!
Yay, new video! Start listening around the 22:39 and tell me what you hear. This channel is great.
I did go back and listen...just the background noise...but earlier the crows. Is that what you were hearing?
@@FacesoftheForgotten I thought I heard someone say "ha ha ha"
Really enjoy your presentation!
If you go by what viewers want to see more of, I would like you to do one with just looking in on the mosuliums[sic]
I’m so interested in them as well Annette
I love mount camel videos I wish you would go back to mount Carmel and make more videos
If you get the opportunity to travel about eight hours west, I would suggest checking out Omaha's Forest Lawn Cemetery which was established in 1885. I go there for birding. It can be hit or miss, but will sometimes be conducive for winter finches during the colder months.
Merci pour la vidéo
