What’s going on with the other 16 spaces?
>>>What’s going on with the other 16 spaces<<<
Nobody wants to be buried in the thing. I mean nobody.
It just creeps everyone out in the Family.
There was talk about selling it, but it has to be repaired to the standard set by Archdiocese and we would have to relocate the Bodies of my Great Grandparents.
The Plots and repair expenses cost more than we can get for it according to the Family that’s still back there. So it sits with our Family name carved in the Marble.
It has quite a History. My Grandfather’s Brother tried to sell it pretending to be my Grandfather. He even had his Parent’s removed and Buried in a Plot without anyone else knowing.
My Grandfather was living in CA and when he found out what was going on he sued the Brooklyn Archdiocese and stopped the Sale.
My Great Grandparents were exhumed to be put back in the Crypt and they were in Wooden Coffins, not the Bronze Coffins my Grandfather had them buried in.
The Coffins fell apart and my Uncle who was overseeing things never got over seeing the Body Parts fall to the ground. It was quite gruesome from what I’ve been told.
There was a lot of conjecture, with my Grandfather’s Brother swearing that he didn’t put the Bodies in the Wooden Coffins and sell the Bronze Caskets.
I think the Archdioceses paid my Grandfather a pretty penny for all the heartache, but I never heard if his Brother was arrested for fraud as he should have been.
Needless to say it was quite the scandal. Nothing like airing my Family’s dirty laundry on FR. LOL
Crazy Friggin Italians.
