    You could at least start with a fundraiser. Many organizations (The Masons and other Lodges would probably assist in raising money, particularly if past members were interred there). From those same organizations you might find volunteers with skilled labor qualifications whom might donate time and work, or even materials. As for the Court costs? Are you kidding? It's HARRISBURG!!! You're right there at the capitol! Ask the Governor to go to the courts for a waiver! The problem with so many "leaders" is they simply don't have the sense to go to probable donors and JUST ASK!!! Every least little thing doesn't require bureaucracy and taxes!!! When I was a young man, I started a theatre company. Ot lasted 8 years. I'd gotten started working part time for an established production company that I later used to send comp tickets to my shows to get their opinion of my set designs... At one of the more elaborate ones, my old bosses told me the set alone, if contracted through them, would have cost $25k. I'd done the entire production, royalties and all, for around $6k! How? I ASKED! I bartered... A lumber yard gave me scrap wood. Two foot pieces of 2x4 were garbage to them. For me they were platform legs. A couple contractors throw in subflooring and hardware in exchange for advertising. A tuxedo shop did the same deal. A retired carpenter and electrician both helped out for free tickets... because I ASKED THEM! I managed holiday parties for the kids of my lodge brothers... I ASKED a retired DJ if he'd spin some music... "For the kids? SURE! Just have them bring CDs of what they want to dance to, I'll bring my gear" No problem, no cost. The teenagers brought sodas and chips, a hot dog vendor donated boxes of hot dogs and a cooker for the party. The whole party cost $60 bucks worth of chili and some pizzas, and even that got paid for with a hat pass around the lodge! These things can be done, Mr Representative! JUST ASK! I'LL even come help you... If you ASK! I don't know squat about building a mausoleum, but I can put in a few hours running a weed whacker and tossing debris into a dumpster for you! I'm sure there are others that would volunteer too. There's no excuse for that thing to be crumbling for all these years...if you just ask folks to lend a hand where they can, and put out the word you need help.

    If families can't be traced a court order can be pursued as the matter is urgency and for public health reasons. Moving them at $300 is a no brainer but actually I would have thought it would cost far more than that. The City will face greater liability and legal concerns if it just lets the mausoleum collapse.

    Thanks very much. We had a wood dome similar in shape to this one in Dunnellon, Florida. It was torn down, sadly in disrepair. There was also a big commercial dome in Clermont that was also torn down. I have been wanting to build one made of high quality galvanized metal. I hope you guys are still around and doing okay. I like the Monolithic Dome. Just a bit costly. I had an interest in the American Integrity Domes that we would assemble on property. They had problems and shut down the operation. Tragic. Let me know if you are still functioning as a group. Thanks.

    Terrible construction. Several of this builder's mausoleums are either currently crumbling or already demolished. Used hollow bricks for structural support, then deceptively veneered with stone panels that give the impression of large stone blocks. If you're going to be interred in one of these places you better make sure you know all about the construction AND how it is financially endowed.

    State needs to introduce new legislation in handling/transfer of the remains in the case of derelict mausoleums or graves. It's taboo to leave these people this way versus placing them in a new burial site. Seems more like politics is holding this up. No one wants to be the ghoulish legislator.

    • @katherineleonowski7289

    • @knightsaberami01
      @knightsaberami01 2 года назад

      @@katherineleonowski7289 Cemeteries are the ultimate ponzi scheme. Towns, Cities, and State Cemeteries only keep up with what is in their purview. Private Cemeteries are Private Property and when the money runs out.... Plus there is a ton of red tape to go with it as well. If anyone wants to change anything, start by changing the law, States and local Municipalities have their hands tied. Visible human remains are obviously a biohazard but no one wants the hassle of going through the motions of disturbing the remains when the people are already at rest. A compassionate law needs to be passed to place these people in a mass grave. • Laws • Forensic Identification • Mass Graves • Caskets • Reinternment All of these costs money, no one wants to be the ghoulish legislator, and let's face it the bill would be full of pork because there are no political points to be won here. So the dead are left to moulder in their grave, while the rest of us are left outraged.

    The people while living, most paid for the burials, before hand. The undertaker or cemetery counselor accepted payment from them, then. Their remains still should be taken care of & reburied by the cemetary officers in charge. In fact the city of Harrisburg, should not have let the moseluim, fall into disrepair in the first place. There is corruption everywhere nowadays. The state & federal money for this has secretly fallen into someone's deep pockets, otherwise this would not be happening. This is a sad case of misappropriation of cemetary maintenance funds. This did not happen in the 1940's through the 1970's, more responsible officials in charge back then. This is an outright disgrace, should be rectified as soon, as possible. Kevin Phoenix

    To much emphasis on remains. Bulldoze it and bury the debris. These people are in a better place. If it were that important to the living relatives or whomever, the building would have been maintained or had funds set aside for upkeep. It’s not unkind, it’s reality of where all remains eventually wind up. Dust to dust.

  • @Isabella-nh5dm
    @Isabella-nh5dm 2 года назад

    I think a huge problem with issues like this is they involve $$ and a lot of them. You can't just tear it down. You have to try to find relatives. You can't move the body without permission. How long do you look for a relative. How do you advertise appropriately to find a relative. Many of these individuals no longer have relatives to find. How long do you have to wait? If a relative does not want to have to move the body and cannot afford to, what happens then? With or without relatives those bodies need to be re-interred somewhere. That's expensive even if you can get a reduced group rate. You also need Court permission to remove each individual and then to re-inter. Usually, that requires provision of a death certificate. Normally, hazmat protected personnel are the only ones that can enter these places. And, usually what brings these issues to the forefront is the building going derelict. They are seldom structurally safe anymore. Yes, some of the graves have been interfered and are more accessible but you have to make sure you have all of the remains and have them 'stabilised' in a manner suitable for transport. There are always some that require alot of physical work to get to and to get them out. In most of these abandoned mausoleums there aren't any maps showing which individuals are entombed where. Without name plates it's difficult to identify people. When no one claims a relative who pays for all of this. Derelict buildings usually go to the local or state councils. The costs to remove the building alone is, at times, more than the land can be re-sold for. A final cost is knocking down and disposal of the waste - lots of the building materials require special disposal. All of these things that need to be done involve huge amount of staff hours to complete the paper chase and more for costs of certificates alone. That doesn't include the court costs. Most Councils have huge funding problems and are walking a tight line to start with. It's a huge problem. I dont think anyone thought about the possibility that something like this could ever happen. Even now it's hard to believe this could happen. Once you sit and think about it, you realise that it all becomes obvious. Unfortunately, I can only see these incidents increasing over the next few decades. Such a terrible thing. Suddenly RIP doesn't feel the same any more.
