Inside abandoned funeral home that remains untouched - including bucket full of blood

An abandoned funeral home has been discovered where everything remains intact - including embalming equipment and a bucket filled with blood.

Gaby, who is well known online for exploring funeral made the haunting discovery while exploring in the US with her boyfriend.

The 25-year-old captured the old funeral home, including an embalming room, in a video that went viral on TikTok with over 145,000 views.

In the chilling room where deceased bodies lie, Gaby shockingly discovered a bloodied bucket.

"It felt especially chilling to see the porcelain embalming table in the centre of the room knowing how many deceased individuals once laid upon it", Gaby told NeedToKnow.Online.com.

"Additionally, a cabinet in the room contained an assortment of items used in preparing the bodies for viewing.

"This included bottles of embalming fluid, makeup for the bodies, clothing, and even eye caps which are used to keep the eyes of the deceased closed.

"We started our exploration by making our way through the funeral parlour and chapel where services for the deceased would be held.

"Interestingly, the seats were still arranged and set up to face a display casket at the front of the room.

"I had never seen an abandoned casket before and this one looked particularly eerie, with a thick coating of dust and the top slightly ajar enough just to peer inside."

Gaby’s boyfriend, Sonny, 26, also came across a small apartment which was sat above the funeral home.

The apartment was filled with personal belongings such as photographs, clothing and snacks. Gaby believes t was once owned by the funeral home director.

She said: "While sifting through the upstairs apartment we found what could very likely be the funeral director's walker in their kitchen, sitting in silence as a reminder of their past presence.

"I felt pure excitement while looking around this location.”

"Exploring this funeral home was something I had really been looking forward to for a very long time.”

"I was quickly mesmerised by all the supplies left behind, in particular the embalming fluids and tools left in the embalming room."

In the video - which is captioned "the fact that embalming fluid bottles were still here…" - a montage of eerie clips are shown from Gaby's visit.

Accompanied by a haunting backing track, you first see an image of the embalming table, with a text box which reads "we found the embalming room while exploring an abandoned funeral home".

This is then followed by numerous clips of her findings, including a video of the embalming bucket swinging from side to side.

You then see pictures of a cupboard which was still full of embalming products, Gaby wrote "this cabinet was full of so many products which were once used by the mortician, now it all rots away"

The video, which has racked up more than 145,000 views and 19,000 likes, left many viewers "nauseous" by what remained of the old funeral home.

One person said: "This is actually really cool but makes me nauseous."

"Yeah if that's blood in the fluid bucket and not rust, that looks a bit too fresh" another wrote.

Someone else said: "The bucket, they didn’t even clean it out."

Gaby added: "I was most surprised by the fact that the embalming room was still intact and contained an embalming table, as many abandoned funeral homes have their embalming tables removed prior to abandonment.

"It was also unexpected that the table was made of porcelain since this is typically only seen in more dated funeral homes."
