Pardon our shovel....

As outlined here in the previous post, potential first evidence of on-going allegations about the double-selling of plots at Grand View was uncovered this week when cemetery workers prepping a site for a court-ordered burial discovered what appeared to be a casket-protection vault in what should have been an unused grave site.

Polaroid photo of vault in question (by Paul Ayers) removed at family's request

Read a detailed account of the discovery process in my latest ValleyNews.com post, Two Bodies and a Cancelled Funeral at Grand View.

    I enjoy spending time exploring cemeteries, reading and photographing headstones of celebrities and civilians alike, and learning about the lives and deaths of these so-called "permanent residents" of the graveyards and mausoleums. This blog chronicles those experiences.

    In addition to this blog, some of my older material is archived at Buried Treasures at LisaBurks.com

    One of the cemeteries I'm most interested in these days is Grand View Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif. I wrote about its legal problems for the LA Daily News' community hub, ValleyNews.com from August 2006 to December 2008, when Valley News ceased operations. In response to reader requests to have one central source of information, I created and continue to maintain Grand View Memorial Park (dot) Info.
