Bullet, 27, said: “The power was still on so what you see in one of the photos is an actual light bulb that we turned on.

“There’s the front lobby which leads into the chapel. From the lobby, you can go upstairs to the showroom where you can see the roof had collapsed most likely from water damage.

“From there was something like a workshop or storage where even more caskets were stored away, along with old vials, embalming tools, photos, and more.

“There was a basement  but due to the amount of water damage in the building, it was flooded.

The building itself dates back to 1851 when Calvin Oak moved to Jacksonville and started a marble and mortuary business with his son in 1856.

This business eventually became the Moulton and Kyle Funeral Home and is the oldest business continuously operated in the city of Jacksonville.

It was bought by another funeral business in the 1990s and when they moved out of the building in 2013, it was left in the current state seen in the photos.

“I thought this place was amazing, photography-wise. There is so much decay on the bottom floors, to then just almost pristine caskets just sitting in storage on the second floor.

“That coupled with the fact that electricity was still running through the building made it an amazing place to see.”
