We Found 2 Abandoned Funeral Homes with Caskets

This abandoned funeral home was established in 1955. The funeral home was highly successful for many decades but in 2012, the owner fell Ill and passed away so it now sits abandoned. Exploring this place was both a thrill and an adrenaline rush. It was a thrill because they left a lot of the funeral preparation and embalming products behind including, used needles, hemostats, razors, mannequin heads, cavity fluid, tissue solvent, and embalming powder. They also left behind a few caskets, some burial vaults, as well as old death records and outdated obituaries.

The second abandoned funeral home from this video dates back to the early 1980’s when it opened as a small family owned and operated funeral home. The funeral home was originally opened by a local mortician who ran the funeral home semi-successfully. The mortician was quite modest and kept his funeral business very small, running it from a couple of rooms out of his small single family home. Eventually, his heath deteriorated and the business was closed. Within just a few years after the funeral home closing, the mortician’s son ended up learning the funeral business and followed in his father’s footsteps. He ended up becoming a mortician himself and eventually opened up his own funeral home nearby. That funeral home is successful and is remains active today.

After the father passed away, the old funeral home was left abandoned with lots left behind for us to explore. Most notable was the casket display room, with approximately five different caskets, burial outfits and dresses, and some random floral arrangements. The funeral chapel was tiny and really only had enough room for a few rows of chairs, the podium, and the casket pedestal. There was some portraits and funeral announcements for a Miss Nancy still hanging on the wall, as well as a few outdated obituaries scattered about. Unfortunately and to our disappointment, the embalming room was completed empty. But just before leaving the funeral home, we noticed that the garage door was open so we went to see if there was anything in there. To our complete shock, surprise, and of course pleasure, there was a nice set of twin old school Cadillac hearses still chillin inside. That was surely a great addition to this tiny little funeral home.
