Grossingly intriquing.

Glad you pointed that out; I thought this shot was "down-there"

Hey1 now thats' something.

Wonderful

What an opurtunity to get something like this.

It's like it was meant to rest.


I believe there is a Federal law in all or most of the 50 states that require a casket to be inserted into a cement bunker , then have a cement lid sealed into place with tar.
This law appeared in I guess the 1970's, and it IS NOT retroactive.
In this case (Crypt of Barons)we're dealing with an entirly different animal altogether.

wow....

your use of flashlighting is very nice

Don't think that's a sporran.

I must say, this is my favorite gallery so far. Thank you Mr. Motts for giving places like this respect. Your style, class, and ethics are an inspiration to many of us.

And thank you again for allowing us to see the world through your eyes. Amazing.

its been used before

it was probably filled with jewels and gold but now it probably has nothing in it

Nice; I've shot that cemetery a few times, it will be featured on this site when I can get to them :-)

I wonder if any of the crypts I MT. Hope cemetery are as ornate. My Dad only told me that one time he found a man sleeping with a corpse. My dad is a Rochester police officer and has gotten some pretty weird calls.

I always knew that I wanted to be cremated! Ashes to the wind!!

When my husband died in 2001, he had this gold watch, worth lots money, and his sisters wanted the watch to be buried with him, and I agreed, and then when the coffin was closed and we all went home before the funeral, I am sure one of the funeral attendants may have got that watch. Many times I wish I had defied my inlaws and kept that watch for memory.
