259 Comments for Hamilton Mausoleum

surprised at some of the dates - not that old relatively speaking - 1942

Sad that it's so poorly kept.

I guess anybody that wold care is long gone, though.

Always a femur and a hip bone.
That's odd...

Is it my responsibility that the dead are respected? I would think that burden rests on the company that operates the cemetery, who profits from the plots rentals and burials.

If it's any consolation, the mausoleum was sealed shut shortly after these photos were taken.

Grave desecration is a felony in nearly every state of the Union, and those responsible for this dereliction of their duty need to be held accountable. And with all due respect, the person running the Opacity.us website also has a duty to report the desecration to the proper authorities. The fact that the photos published were likely obtained in an illegal manner doesn’t mitigate your responsibility to make sure the dead are respected. These people are not museum exhibits for everyone’s entertainment. Opacity webmaster, do your duty and report this, if it hasn’t already been done (I write this five plus years after these were posted).

Reminds one of his or her mortality!!

I hope the person that did this is haunted by the person that they disrespected. What a disgrace.

My heart hurts that these folks were just forgotten and now remain like this. Something should be done to reinter them.

Where exactly is this crypt located (State & City)??

Can't believe the remains of those past were just out in the open like this.

As a bone collector, seeing this in person would have made me scream in joy! What an awesome discovery...

It is a compass from a masonic interment

I tell my kids all the time, if you dont be quiet Imma pop your chops. Never knew that is where the term came from. Kinda dont wanna say it now.

Very intriguing. Love your work. I guess it is of human nature to be saddened by the disregard by some mischievous individuals.

I love how people say they hate images such as this however they managed to look long enough to make a comment. Face it...this is what we all become in time.
