The tomb with the dog, the dog was a Newfoundland, his master drowned and the dog pined until it died, then they put the dog in a smaller coffin and buried him in the tomb with his master. When you look closely into the tomb after your eyes adjust you can see the smaller coffin containing the dog beside the larger coffin. For years the statue of the dog had its head missing, it was reattached a couple of years ago. Supposedly the dog haunts the area around his master's tomb.

I find graveyards to be very peaceful.  Around 75-100 years ago, families still had picnics on Sundays in the graveyard of their family members.  When I was young, my parents and I would visit the graves of their parents every weekend.😢

MDCCCL111 is the roman numeral representation of the number/year 1853. M= 1000; D=500 ; CCC=300 ( C=100, repeated 3 times), L=50 and 111= 3 ( 1, repeated 3 times). Adding these values together: 1000 +500=300 + 50 + 3 = 1853.

8:45 the pentagram with the skull is a “Reminder of mortality and the hope of spiritual protection or salvation”

It's always so sad to see those tiny coffins for the children.

It's very fascinating how that skeleton is right there for all to see. It's a reminder to us that we will all look like that someday.  The monuments were beautiful.  XIX in Latin is the number 19.  Thank you for the tour, GV.  I always enjoy them, and I'm sorry you lost your torch.  Give them the chance people will take anything.  You and Sue have a great weekend.

MDCCCLIII is 1853 and he was XL (40) when he died.

These large cemeteries developed in the early 19 century, when population increased and the old churchyard no longer had room for the numbers of dead that were occurring. During this period classical features such as the columns, the coffers and broken off columns were very popular on the graves of the well heeled. There are books that describe what these features mean. A broken off column for example means a life cut short. Warning bells for a live burial gave rise to the term, “A Dead Ringer”. There was a whole language of flowers too, that determined what carvings would go on the graves. Finding out about these can bring a lot more interest to a journey around a large municipal cemetery. Have fun.

That skeleton was pretty awesome. Thats what i would like to think a skeleton in casket looks like. Not exploded but together. You two take us to the coolest places. Thanks

The grave alarm bell unused, but for her wits' sake, it was a good thing that it was never used.

Mt.Jerome was originally a Protestant cemetery,  representing the great and the good, of legal, administrative,  and finest merchants of Dublin, in the day.
Money wasn't spent,  but accumulated.  
The tradition being,
you paid your bills in full, and never entered debt

Our local cemeteries here in Arizona have a simple placard in the ground.  These older cemeteries are absolutely fascinating to me.  Not just head stones, but  huge elaborate headstones or mausoleums dedicated to one person or their family.   These are all art pieces. Thank you for sharing because I would have never been able to see this great place without you.

I live in the East Valley suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona, USA, and I'm thrilled to have found your channel. My wife and I moved here from the Chicago area 13 years ago. One of my favorite past times was exploring cemeteries. I could spend hours just wandering the properties reading the grave markers. However, since moving to Arizona I haven't been able to locate a single cemetery. I don't know if they eat their dead here or simply prop them up against a wall in their homes, but for the life of me, I sure can't find where they're burying them. I truly miss exploring cemeteries, so I'm happy to have found your channel.

Death leaves not much dignity

I wish I  could walk for days looking at every monument.

There was a cartoon of two University Professors reading a notice board. One of them reads a notice. The caption was "Ah poor so and so ..... published and published but perished all the same". 😊😊😊😊

If I remember correctly ---
Aged XL = 40 (X = 10, L = 50, when a smaller number is placed before a larger number = you have a subtraction. So XL is 50(L) minus 10(X) = 40. The man was 40yo when he died.

I would never be able to see this except through your eyes....ty so much

I worked with a stone mason for many years.
I love seeing the old work, the competition between clients  and masons alike, to have the biggest 😂
My overall feeling seeing this cemetery is , that looks like hard work

I'm going to say that was an explosion. I'm basing that on the state of the ribs and and the location of the bend in the top.
