Another thing that is unusual in this video: me saying "I'll haunt you for the rest of 'my' life, " instead of 'your' life. Very strange....

If him and Caitlin Doughty (Ask a Mortician) ever did a collab my little heart would explode lol

I remember hearing that the body snatchers had kept Chaplin's head and demanded a ransom. The family, much to their credit, responded with "keep it".

Mr Dark, you should have a podcast or an app that we could listen to, just for your voice. It’s beautiful, and thank you. 🙏

9:05 Just a note for those who may not know: at that time, cremation was indeed forbidden to Catholics. The reason is that Catholics do not believe that the discarded corpse is trash after the soul departs, but an integral part of the human being that should be treated with dignity and respect.
Today, cremation IS allowed to Catholics-- however, the cremains must be honored with funeral rites, and interred somewhere appropriate: for example, in a cemetery, mausoleum, or in a special container heavy enough for burial at sea.
In order to show respect for the dignity of each human person and for the human body,
Catholics are not supposed to scatter cremains, or keep them in their home (because they might eventually be accidentally or deliberately tossed into the trash, or treated irreverently after falling into the hands of someone who does not have respect for them, or even know what they are.)

This could easily be a TV show.
So well constructed and filmed.

I visited Victor Noir's grave on my last trip to Paris. One of the fun ones there. I saw Chopin's grave, but did not realize that about his heart. I can't wait to go back to Paris and visit Josephine Baker's grave at the Pantheon. She's been granted status to be buried there.

Your productions are so well constructed they feel like a premium cable television program.

Fun fact: Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter, named Oona Chaplin, after her grandma, was on Game of Thrones. Playing Robb Shark’s pregnant wife, who is killed (along with everyone else) at the Red Wedding.

Welcome back. Fun Fact: The movie "Weekend at Bernies" was based on the story of the deceased John Barrymore having a party with his homies

The part with Anton Yelchin gave me chills. I have to visit his grave someday. I loved him as Pavel Chekov in the 2009 Star Trek movie. I was sad when I heard the news of his passing. He was the same age as me.

When the "Rest in peices" segment started I was immediately reminded of a line from the show "Allo, Allo" as said by Herr Flick (of the Gestapo") to his sidekick "Von smallhousen"
"Here is the Gestapo defusing-explosives handbook. It is by the late Professor von Flattenhead, who, as you will know, is buried in Munich, and Hamburg, and Bremen."

You, dear Arthur, are the Rod Serling of YouTube. Every time I get a notification about a new Hollywood Graveyard, I make myself comfortable, get a drink and watch it on the app on my TV. You are worthy of the big screen 😉. This was one of your finest episodes so far and I eagerly anticipate what's next. Thank you for the segment on Neptune's Reef. When my time comes, I wish to be cremated and buried at sea. I had completely forgotten about Neptune's Reef and immediately sent away for the information. I'm not planning to go anywhere anytime soon but I have more years in the rear view mirror than I do in the windshield and one must be practical about these things. 😁 Looking forward with great anticipation to your next masterpiece. ❤

The John Barrymore story makes me laugh in a morbid kinda way 🤣I couldn't imagine my friends propping up my dead friend in my damn house! I would be screaming down the street!!! 🤣🤣

[ThisIsAbstract]

Anton Yelchin gets me every damn time 😭 he was amazing, gone way too soon. All my best to his beloved parents 🙏

[scottzema]

Another masterful and absorbing episode in a great series.

[IsabelSantosCunha]

Why you don't have a TV show yet, is beyond me.
Everything about this videos is superb: your voice, the narratives, the cinematography, the music, the editing, the stories. Magical.
Thank you, Mr. Dark.
From Portugal with love. 💖

Another excellent production. I can add another irony of victim & killer buried near each other. Antone Costa (AKA Tony Chop Chop) was a serial killer in 1969 on Cape Cod. He is buried in an unmarked grave (next to his mother) in Provincetown, MA and one of his victims is buried about 20 feet away.

[mendagy]

How people could ever do such despicable things as stealing a loved one's body or ashes is beyond me!! I cannot even imagine the pain that it would cause an already grieving family... 😞

[chrisannenahum]

Victor Borge is also “buried in pieces”…half here in Connecticut, USA, and half in Denmark. 🎹 🙂✌️
