Motts, you finding & taking photos of this place, has given it life again. As time began to let this place go, your gallery here, has brought back into the here & now. I am pleased to see a great many undisturbed spots in this photo, at least the ones in them are still at rest & at peace. Thank you, Motts, for bringing this place to us all & allowing us to see all the images contained within this incredible gallery.

Broken caskets & the bodies that were in them, broken as well, this place is just so sad.

Well said, Lucie & Toot, they don't.

Toot, I am with you there. To show such blatant disrespect for the person that was laid to rest here, by doing this to them, is so terrible. I am saddened by this image.

One of my favorite galleries ever. Absolutely fascinating! You are amazing. Thank you as always.

Motts, did you feel saddened by seeing this? I know I would've been sad, to see such a thing in person, knowing that these belonged to a person who was once a beloved family member to someone. Rest In Peace, not these people. Such a sad image.

Hmm, there looks to be 2 still sealed on the top row. I wonder why those remained that way? Also, the naming of this photo, good choice, as it does look like a hive.

This is a very different gallery from anything you've brought us before, but what I know from you, I know I'll enjoy seeing it & exploring it too.

What a Gallery! Thank you. This place is shattering...crushed..do not understand how this was allowed/permitted, to fall apart. Dead & buried & forgotten. Wicked.
You are bold & valiant.
May you always be well is my wish.

Beautiful bones - it looks like /made of/ iron.
Thought bones were white?
Been wrong.
Picture is so calm.

You are always kind & nice. It is just James now. 1855-1921
But it is not nice to let this fall apart like this. Respect for the dead is better.
Buried ninety-three years ago.
