despite accusations otherwise your doing this shoot is great and enlightening to those of us who cannot or do not have access to such finds --some cities are built on cemeteries- so the dead are the foundation for the new

These are your best photos, that I have ever seen.

Ohhh .....oh, thanks. Kind & nice you always are.
I don´t mind - graffiti - show the visitors emotions at that very moment, and at times it is interesting also, like Krankehaus Staacken, and others: all over all.
And some are so clever, like the one in Sanatorium Joseph Lemaire. And others.
Ahhh.......... all well!

jpt - I agree that the photos are sensational in a way; seeing a crypt in this state *should* cause people to react. I don't think anything has been exaggerated or promoted in a way to warrant the negative connotations of the word though. In regards to myself disrespecting the dead, I recognize it's really a matter of personal opinion, and moreover, a religious/spiritual one.



As far as reporting the vandalism - the cemetery must have been aware of the busted wall, as the crypt was re-sealed shortly after these photos were taken. Whether they've taken action on disinterring the bodies inside, or maintaining it over the years, I don't know.

Yeah there were some spray painted tags where the urns would be kept and a few other spots.

Even though it's just the jaw bone it looks like it's in prime condition. Usually stuff like this would be all broken up/missing teeth.

Damn in 42? Hell... I was a little surprised with the James guy from 1922.... but to be honest when I saw this crypt at first glance I thought like 1800s..... maybe earlier.

People can be dick heads :/ Nuff' said. I've gotten at some dipshits tipping/breaking grave stones to a freshly buried grave over once cause they thought they were "funny."

People who desecrate graves really give me the red ass :/ At least you're still living. Damn poor soul could have died before his time came.

A lot of the time, crypts and mausoleums were temporary until the family can find a proper burial site. Although in some cases the crypt IS the final resting place.

It reminds me of my cat and his own little collection of animal skeletons behind a bush. Ranges from a small field mouse to large ass grey squirrels.
