Usually when a crypt was sealed in this manner it meant there were no more members of this family who survived. In effect, the end of this particular line no longer exsists, no mourners, no one to care for the crypt or tomb.

My husband is a former Marine who transfered into the Navy. This would be his monument too.

Holiday Wallpaper!!!!!!!

I noted how the leafless bough tends to cover what would be "chin whiskers" and "thinning hair" on Father's stone. While Mother's stone is clean and daintingly free of such. Speaks volumes.

SkedAddled, Maybe the single words were more than enough, they would be for me and my husband.

Motts, i wouldn't count on it. Viral diseases can remain dormant for decades in a dry area such as this. I hope you get yourself checked out by your doctor SOON!!!!

PS TELL HIM Where you were!!! OK??

If the Chapel is restore (I hope, I hope, I hope), then there would have to be an examination of this caske tand any contents.

That would recquire a HAZMAT crew and the state & county Medical Examiners Offices.

Motts, how far from the floor to the rail the material is on?

It could well be the "Pall". A large cloth that would have been draped over the casket. As this is an European Chapel, they would have coninued to use European customs. Often the PALL would have been split down the middle to allow for varying sizes of adult caskets.

Yes, a little tiny person did explode in there. Sorry, things got out of control with the dimmer switch.

Kim, DITTO!!!!!!!

All it needs is some wiring, a T-storm, some glass containers and ....

"It's alive, it's alive, it's alive!!!"

Now that wopuld be freaky.

Sans the cellar lift, it reminds me of many European Chapels, long and narrow with cellars, or rather catacombs, that held the dead,

Beautiful, love the red glowing in the dark shadows. Very nice work.

My cousin plays several "levels" of pipe organs, I believe he said up to six keyboards. I told him that is a precious gift from our Grandmother who also played.

This tragic lady would need years of restoration work to be heard in this world again

Yes, that definitely appears to be poop as is written. I am deducting 6 points for the lack of consistency on the second 'o'.
