A grim find on a snowy walk in Mount Jerome Cemetery | Part 1

- Mount Jerome Cemetery & Crematorium (Irish: Reilig Chnocán Iaróm) is situated in Harold's Cross on the south side of Dublin, Ireland. Since its foundation in 1836, it has witnessed over 300,000 burials. Originally an exclusively Protestant cemetery, Roman Catholics have also been buried there since the 1920s.
The name of the cemetery comes from an estate established there by the Reverend Stephen Jerome, who in 1639 was vicar of St. Kevin's Parish. At that time, Harold's Cross was part of St. Kevin's Parish. In the latter half of the 17th century, the land passed into the ownership of the Earl of Meath, who in turn leased plots to prominent Dublin families. A house, Mount Jerome House, was constructed in one of these plots, and leased to John Keogh. In 1834, after an aborted attempt to set up a cemetery in the Phoenix Park, the General Cemetery Company of Dublin bought the Mount Jerome property, "for establishing a general cemetery in the neighbourhood of the city of Dublin".
The first official burial happened on the 19th of September 1836. The buried deceased were the infant twins of Matthew Pollock.
The cemetery initially started with a landmass of 26 acres and grew to a size of 48 acres in 1874.
In 1984, burial numbers were falling, thus the Cemetery was losing revenue and began to deteriorate. A crematorium was needed to regain revenue and deal with plant overgrowth on the estate.
The Funerary Chapel in the cemetery was the first Puginian Gothic church in Dublin. It was designed by William Atkins.
In 2000, Mount Jerome Cemetery established its own crematorium on the site.

The small casket looking memorial is called an Ossuary.
After the body had decayed, the skeletal remains would be put in a small box to make space for new burials.
I was born at the William Harvey hospital in Kent. The story of the dog is so sad. I love animals and the thought of him being so loyal and lost without his owner he allowed himself to perish just breaks me hart. Poor doggo 😢🐕🦺
Thats why we love them :)
I know it was probably just your exhaled breath that was swirling around in that one crypt, but, dang! What a special effect!
Yeah it did make a cool effect, I think the sunlight caught it too making it look a bit spookier
Yes, Joe, the exhaled breath was a spooky, kind of beautiful thing! I am catching up on these "dead good walks", having only just recently discovered this channel. Very interesting. Also quite relaxing to walk along.
The Irish Wolf Hound is a very loyal soulful breed
Their howl is haunting
I know because I have one
She is my constant companion as I walk around graveyards
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I am fascinated by old graveyards, especially from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It is a family trait from my mother's side; I walk around and read the tombstones if they are still legible. I wonder about the deceased. What did they look like? What was their personality like? Their likes and dislikes, jobs, hobbies they enjoyed, and the cause of death, especially if the decedent was a child or a young person. Sometimes I feel guilty when I read their headstones, for I am the modern beneficiary of modern medicine, electric powered appliances, indoor plumbing, computers, satellite communications, improved nutrition, etc., which these people did not have during their lifetimes. Sometimes I wonder if their spirits watch us, and they wonder who we are. Anyway, keep up the good work. The past fascinates me, too. 🙂👍
I’m exactly the same Linda, ever since I was a young kid. I’m naturally very curious which often gets confused with being “morbid” 🤔🙄which can be annoying. One really stuck with me though, not the grave, but the writing. It read a boys name and he was about 3 or 4 years old. Then it said that he had been trampled to death by a carriage and horses 😢 I couldn’t get out of my mind how truly terrified that poor child must’ve been. I don’t know if it’s a British thing but I think how someone died should be on way more graves, either that or I’m just nosy! 😂 but you only tend to see it, if it’s a historical event like 9/11, or killed in war/combat etc xx
Understandable that you feel that way about modern life vs life back then. However, remember that back then all that they knew was what they had at that time. All that we know is what we have at this time vs someone 100 years into the future where new advancements would be mind blowing to us present-day. So people don't know what they're missing if what they're missing hasn't even been invented, encountered or fully understood yet. It's a bit like a tribal child growing up without things like ice cream and candy vs one who did. They couldn't miss what they didn't know and they didn't really regard their time as 'hard times' vs the future...because they didn't know the future. I don't remember if it was Dead Good Walks or someone else, but I saw a video on youtube of some kind of Monks lying out in the open in rooms. There was a sign with a saying like, "As your are now, we once were; as we are now, you will also be."
I love this cemetery very beautiful
Those family vaults are stunning
watching the replay..i didn't see the skeleton the first time through, wow! that's about as extreme as it gets! beautiful walk Dan, thanks! see you soon 🎄
Thanks Violet. Very extreme, I did see slightly worse in the next place I went (skulls on the floor)
Can’t wait for this awesome Ireland Content!!!!!
This is so interesting. I can’t wait to see how this starts and ends.
One of my fave cities. Great cemetery tour 👍🏻
Thank you, glad you enjoyed a little slice of Dublin
Definitely respect you being mindful of people that are still grieving. Just lost my mom early this year and I’m sure it takes a while.
So sorry Jason.
@@Sarah_270 thank you
In the U.S. they tell us that bodies will explode from built up bacteria if the coffin is sealed. That might be what happened to that body. Maybe it wasn't embalmed or embalmed properly. A friend of mine worked for a company years ago which was contracted to funeral homes for first call services. They would also transport exhumed bodies in coffins when they were re-located. They would often open the coffins for inspection and most, if they had been embalmed properly, were intact and maybe looking a bit dehydrated but most of the time the skin was pliable. This was after the bodies had been buried close to 20 years. They never found an exploded coffin.
Wow, impressive and a bit scary. 😅...I'm looking forward to the next one...Thanks for sharing 🤗
Nice chatting again Bine! Cya soon x
Exciting !!!!
My wife and I love visiting old graveyards,no matter how big or small to read the inscriptions and see who can find the oldest burial, also a fascination with mausoleums and curious to see inside,morbid or ghoulish I know but never to touch,expose or damage. We always reckon that when you read the name of the departed, somewhere someplace a soul turns around when you call their name... enjoyed the video and hoped you enjoyed Ireland
You sound like my kind of people. Thats true, I believe when you call their name something happens somewhere, maybe it lifts their spirit. Really glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate you guys watching. Have a great Christmas.
@@deadgoodwalks and many happy returns 🙂
Me too ! I would love to find a partner but I am 55 so times are a ticking..
This will be excellent.
Those tiny doors in the beginning are probably because the ground level on the outside is now quite higher than it was when those tombs were built.
It's looking good !!
Irish cemeteries- fascinating! Glad I found this channel.
You never disappoint... absolutely stunning cemetery... love how respectful you are.. great video
Thanks so much x
The tomb with the children was sad it looked smoky and eerie it was your breath 💀 the coffin that exploded was very creepy. There’s so much to see 😮
Yeah it was a lot colder in there but I guess it was just because it was deeper, I think the sunlight caught my misty breath so it looked a bit spooky.
Always a great Dead Good Walk, always love the peace and the serenity of them. You are the leader in these type of walks. Looking forward to seeing the new videos in the future.
Wow this is so interesting. Thank you. How sad the story of the faithful dog. Really enjoying this video 😊
What a brilliant video Dan.. I'm proud to be one of your Walkers.. There are so many! Beautifully shot too ✨
Thank you Kaz, Lucky to have you here x
@@deadgoodwalks bless ya! X✨
Thank you for sharing the history of all the places you visit
Thanks for braving the cold, Dan! Love these cemetery walks.
Thank you, really glad you're enjoying them x
Loved this walk Dan thank you 💜🙏🕊️
A very interesting walk. Looking forward to your next one.
Can't understand why this person's remains are left virtually in full view.
A very Macabre sight.
Thanks for everything that I have viewed and experienced, such a great insight and you statement regarding the recently departed shows a man of great compassion and Empathy.
You deserve all the plaudits.
Thanks for the kind words Stanley. I guess the poor chap has just been forgotten about sadly.
@@deadgoodwalks Absolutely love your channel.
Not morbid in the least.
Buenisimo esta muy bueno ese cementerio😎✌
Keep waiting to see an eye looking back every time you put the phone to the hole😂 that place is very mid evil like, beautiful, thanks for the walk.
Don't say that! I'm never looking through another one again haha!
@@deadgoodwalks Sorry, I watch to many horror movies 😜😂
Looking like Michigan there today. Beautiful! I love the snow. Thanks for braving the cold to make this video. That place is absolutely amazing.
You're welcome Cristal! It was a great day, thanks for watching
No thanks necessary. I really enjoy your videos. Trying to catch up on them all. They are great late night company.
The Dowager Countess de Lusi was married to the Prussian Envoy to the Greek Court, from what I found, she may have been Irish born. Her life is portrayed on Downton Abbey? My neighbor had an Irish wolfhound that I loved to care for when she was out of town. His name was Finnegan and he could look out a 6' window in a door. I loved Fin and that's why I have always had big dogs.
Another awesome video Dan. Beautiful cemetary. I have Irish on my dad's side and I have always wanted to go to Ireland. It's such a beautiful country to me. Seeing that skeleton was alittle eery. Poor things coffin came apart. Loved the video. Can't wait for the next video to drop. Love from Georgia USA
Thank you Joan, Hopefully you'll get there one day. Hopefully the poor soul is at peace.
Another awesome tour. I am amazed at the cemeteries and the age and history. Always appreciate your time and travels. Merry Christmas.😇😇😇😇😇
Thanks Debroah. Have a great xmas x
Thomas Drummond was a famous Scottish army surveyor. He was also under secretary for Ireland until his death. He was only 42 of peritonitis
Awesomeness ❤ thanks Dan!
Thanks Ellen x
Seeing human remains like that is sad you'd have thought that the people who look after the cemetery would have sorted it out and put the body back in another coffin ⚰️ or at least repaired the old one if they can I think you are right that it rotted because of dampness etc and I guess being from the 1800s it's probably not (the crypt)used anymore and maybe there are no other family members living now so unless a maintenance worker goes round looking inside these crypts then they'll not know how bad it is but as usual an awesome video keep them coming
I know there are some cemeteries here in the US that don't allow maintenance workers to touch the interiors of the mausoleums because even though it is on cemetery grounds, it's privately owned by the families. That could be why that body hasn't been placed in a new coffin, especially if there are no descendants left. Its kind of a sad thing to think about.
That place is incredible ❤
Another fantastic walk.
Thank you Bee!
A very interesting old cemetery. Would hope that some day some one would get the poor old fellow taken care of, and get his bones picked up and laid inside a new coffin. Probably not sadly. Nice walk through anyway. Hello from a cold and frozen Penn's Woods.
I hope for that too. Glad you enjoyed the walk. Thank you
Hi, loved video, I saw this graveyard with an Irish guy and woman. Your skeleton pic much better.
Thank you. I always try to get the best quality possible. Glad you enjoyed the video
The exposed skeleton remains was very odd. It looks like there was a fire at one point and I believe I saw a candle on the floor besides the body.
Could the bent top be a sign that someone took a tool to the casket, to open it? To see the skeleton, with the skull (with an expression on the "face"), is incredible!
Great video and what a find coming across crypts that still have the untouched remain in. I have a great interesting in cemeteries myself but for slightly different reason my main interest is the chapels and gate houses but to see these crypts and how they are still in tact is a real bonus for me. I am looking forward to pt 2.........nice one👍👍
Thanks Dave. I'm a subscriber :)
As soon as I heard you say, "within an inch of your life" I was laughing! My Father was always going to beat me within an inch of my life! Those British had such sayings. Of course the cemetery was wonderful, especially the explosive coffin.
Oh I hope it wasn't too bad of a flashback. Yeah we do have some weird and wonderful saying here. Glad you enjoyed it Janet x
Thanks!
Oh wow thank again Bee! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video x
Always first class in fact quite awesome.
Thank you sir
Those corridors of vaults are creepy enough in daylight, imagine what it'd look like if this had been filmed on a cloudy/overcast day.
To quote "OH that was cool! With all due respect,, but that was really cool!!" I feckin' agree😅
Amazing…looked like a miniature city in places
i love the snow and frost makes alot of places look more calming and magical. oooh seeing that skeleton of that man is so sad looks forgotten and alone. the poor poochie bless back with his daddy now. so sad and some idiots say animals have no emotions or feelings, rip to all
Absolutely fascinating walk - as always! 💀
Thanks Heather, you're welcome x
Brilliant cemetery
Hi iam Possum from Australia and I find your video's really interesting there is alot of history and old graves hope to see more video's take care Possum 😊
Cheers mate great video,next time I'm in Dublin will have to check it out ,I've been to glasnevin but mount Jerome looks a lot more interesting 👍🏻 😀 🇮🇪☘️
No worries Mark. Yeah it's hard to choose between the two, both equally impressive
You got me with “grim” lol
Dan great video as usual, and the cemetery was very pretty. Looking forward to part two. Hope you have a safe trip home. One suggestion if I could, try and go to c o r k County Ireland. That is where Henry Ford's Father William Ford was from, and the Ford son Tractor plant was built there in 1916. I believe they still have a plant there and my friend Ford b r y a n actually had a replica of a Model T in one of the Town squares. Might be cool to visit the cemetery around there to see where Henry Ford's family is buried.
Sounds interesting Joel. Hoping to be down that way in the spring, I'll check it out
@@deadgoodwalks 👍👍👍
notification on! 🆒
I am sad to see that open coffin. Beautiful graveyard and monuments. Martha
Thank you Martha.
We meet again Mr Dycer @ 3:43 with all due respect 🙏
You can use a endoscope with light to look inside the mausoleums and crypts i think it is interesting to to see what happens after death
Another beautiful cemetery the frost gives it a haunting feeling I hope you stayed toasty Dan do you do any nighttime walks that would be great to see especially on a full moon
Thanks Allison. I've done a couple, there's one in greyfriars and liverpool on the channel
Hi Dan, thank you for going out into the cold to bring us a new and interesting video. The crypt with the big hole in the door is rather sad to behold. It's in a bad shape, and the breaking up of coffins is only disgusting. There seem to be some still empty crypts for sale, like no.4??? The story with the dog that mourned for his dead human friend is heart-breaking, so heart-warming that he was buried beside him in the tomb. And yes, there is a movie director with the name Peter Jackson, he made the movies about "The Lord of the Rings", but he is still alive. Huuh, it's not uncommon for a coffin to explode because of the gases that build inside a dead body. Thanx a lot for this frosty walk. 🥶
Glad you enjoyed it, hopefully from somewhere warm ha. It was a pretty eventful episode and theres a lot more in part 2. I'd love to know if that coffin exploded or not.
@@deadgoodwalks If you remember the name of the person laid to rest there, you could search the Internet. Hmm, I don't think there are any surviving relatives, you could ask, the grave is in too bad condition.
i think its a misdemeanor for grave destruction worse things happened. from what I ead i dont recall where there are subroups that collect bones human bones for rituals. I heard Harvard college students kept human remains I dont know whether its true. theres the oxford mand that in a box and is rolled out at each meeting of the minds people even take pictures next to him
Bring a flashlight next time.
I’d say those doors are so small because the area has been backfilled to make parking. Total disrespect of someone’s resting place.
I thought that too when I looked at the again later, Not very respectful at all if its true
❤❤❤
Remember getting in your car in a hot summer, with no air circulating. Then it gets cold and damp in the winter. That causes "heaving" of wood planks and they can move with impunity. So that crypt's contents were exposed to severe dry heat and damp cold that caused the coffin to shatter. (think of the dashboards of old cars that have cracked over time).
Just to bring a smile ( hopefully) but at 18:39 I actually out loud said “That’s what she said” 😳😂 I think it’s because when I watch your videos ( new sub 😊) you have the same accent as me so it kind of feels like I’m just listening to one of my friends/family talking x
It's a bit creepy!!!👀 🩻💀
About what time of the day was it when you did this video? Beautiful lighting.
Fantastic tour. Thank you, when you discover exposed remains is there someone to report it to that might arrange for repairs ?
It's none of my business really but if I found bones out in the open I'd report it to the cemetery and police
have you ever wonder what and who has the keys to all the graves
Always ha
Great film as always very respectful.
Question, what is your best/interesting/structurally grave you have been to?
Look forward to your reply.
That's a tough one Alison but the Cat headstone grave in Vienna was a memorable one
Bit like that Scottish Greyfriers Bobby Dog sat on masters Tomb
So sad. Nobody should have to rot away like that!
Everybody does sweetheart
I know, I wish I could help him/her
@@deadgoodwalks Anything would help, even dressing him or her in some fresh clothes would be a nice gesture. Maybe start a fire on a cold winter night.
@@anaysaikia260 Not if you're cremated!
Is there another way to rot away?
I have a book called Storues in Stone by Douglas Keister and it's got everything about tombs and symbols that you see on graves.
So headstones are put up, but the actual bodies go inside the crypts that are located inside that 6 foot trench??
Top of the morning to ya lol 👍
🇮🇪 Be lucky ha
I just found your videos I live in Arizona,many of my family are from England, I don’t like to comment or criticize but can you please slow down a little and show more stones and do close ups of the stone so we can see the beautiful carvings and the inscription and one last request tell us more about some of the people who’s grave markers you show! I work on my family genealogy and find this very interesting. Please😏💙
I'll try my best but if I slow down people say it's boring. Hard to find the middle ground
Nothing is lower. Except maybe for the bottom of those caskets.
i think there are hand help pin hole cameras that can be used by your cell phone. here in america we call them boroscopes.
your right that is way cool. 3:22 minutes edward dicer bones. it does look as if it exploded. tht time I dont think they embalmed and edward swelled due to bacteria and yes bodies do explode.
Those boxy things might be ossuaries...bone boxes
I can't imagine how hurtful it would be to have my decaying skeleton exposed.
Yep
I doubt you'd be bothered.
Respectfully, it's not like you'll be using it anymore. I'd be more concerned about a relative visiting and being confronted with bare bones, but the bones themselves do not care
Great video Dan! I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland one day, maybe even find some distant relatives, because I’m Danish and Irish on my dad’s side and British/Welsh on my mom’s side. So thanks for taking me to Ireland with you. Side note, I hope I’m never in a cemetery when bodies are exploding, if that be the case 😂😂😂. Take care brother!
No problem Subzero! Hopefully you find some relatives when you go. I hope one doesn't explode just as I take a peek inside lol.
Get yourself one of those decent inspection cameras so you can get it through the grills.
I'm not sure if the grave of Thomas Drummond is the same person who helped to establish the port town of Fleetwood in Lancs
Ugh. Those dark vault alleys are awful. Truly a "dead end" place for all of them.
Benachrichtigung aktiviert... ☝🏻😉
Just how did they bore holes into the sand stone or marble ?? No power or electricity ??
Old fashion elbow grease
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🇵🇰
Buried or cremated? What would you choose after seeing this place?
Option B for me
Cremation!
It is that when you watch it through a medium like CZcams, and through a computer screen there are multiple layers on top of the real situation. I like the "vanilla" stuff, where there are no layers between you and the objects.
I like the ages that they are from. I like the thoughts that are still there due to the objects being intact enough to recognize the ideas that surround them. Its like very old books, and when you read them, the story and the piece of mind is all there. But of course due to the things being so old, people could not survive it for that long ago.
Its one of the things i would love to have, is to survive for that long, and the only way to do it biologically is to clone yourself. The thing is, my mind would be rotten in the 1st body, the rest is just a biological copy. Would there be a way to make the mind take part of the new person through things like books or objects? That would really make resurrection very real.
Resurrection and resurrection should not be mixed up. The one is to mix different people up, have the genes of successful men build up in a woman through generations, to finally have the man again with all successful traits of all the men who went into making him. And indeed resurrection is there. And that is of course something different then to clone someone.
I like this topic, good you have channel on CZcams. These are some very interesting graveyards you are visiting. I enjoy visiting these myself too. Its an historical treasure. Its something different than books of the era. Its something more personal. Its actually very social in a way.
Greetings,
Jeff
Got Long John’s on and wool socks?
don't you have a light on your mobile mate
Shame They couldn't paint around the plaques and put a clear coat on the plaques after cleaning.
Do you, or anybody, know where Matthew Ashman is buried??? Matthew was the guitarist of Bow Wow Wow and died much too soon in the 1990's. But where is his grave????
Burial place unknown so wiki says
@@deadgoodwalks I know what wiki says, but I'm hoping someone out there knows where his grave is, and can help me. I'd like to visit graves of 80's icons in the future.
@@marilynvanaalst232 No worries, we have a lot of knowledgable people on here so hopefully someone will help you
@@deadgoodwalks That's what I am hoping for! And maybe you'll join me, visiting the graves of the famous 80's icons, to make a video!!!
@@marilynvanaalst232 Sure always happy to collab
Looking through the small holes looks like old man ears… hairy!! 😂

That was possibly Miday "Angelus" Bell's...From a "Catholic" Church...Not heard As Much as in the 1970/80's.
