Riverside Cemetery: crypts

This place had crypts, man! Crypts! Desecrated crypts, but still. Crypts. There were three of them and they were all completely different from each other, which made it look a little strange, but whatever. Crypts.

This is actually the upper portion of the back of the first one:
You could kinda peer down inside, but it was dark. Really, really dark. Also empty.

Part of the marker that's visible in the first photo:
The crypt of H.F. & Mary Jones. As mentioned above, they are no longer in residence. I actually don't know where they got moved off to.

And the front:
Remember the Alamo! Er, no wait. Anyway, it had 2 very thoroughly broken padlocks on it, plus a huge metal plate drilled on to it to keep the doors closed. Yeah, this one had been smacked around pretty hard. Why'd you screw with a place where, yanno, THE DEAD ARE BURIED, I kinda don't really know. Unless perhaps you were dropped on your head as a child. Multiple times. Until you were five or so.

Next in line was the Evans crypt:
This one is in the hillside and has no information on it other than the family name. It's also empty inside, as you shall see in a moment.

But first, the gate!
It was cool, okay? Gosh.

Above:
Almost looks like something out of a movie set, except it's all real and stuff (actually, with this "font", I'm thinking it's a Woodsman of the World burial plot).

And as promised, the inside:
This was taken through the gate, with the flash on, obviously. Those are the original doors down there, all good and broken. And clearly, nobody home. Whoever was here was also moved thanks to vandalism, but as with the Jones family, I don't know where they were hauled off to.

And the last one, which apparently still gets visitors:
This one was in much better condition and appears to be kept up. It also appeared that the person who was buried here... is still buried here. Was quite large for just one person though.

Over the entryway:
Sandstone: never a good choice for grave markers or lettering on the outside of tombs. This shall be further illustrated in a later post.

And so in case you're wondering just who's here:
It's this guy, apparently.

And so that's all for now. I have a ton of other photos, plus all the photos from Littleton, plus probably another billion photos on top of that which I've forgotten about. One of these days they'll make it up here... hopefully. :P
