Grandma's in the House

Is Michael Jackson in a temporary crypt or a cooler at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills?

Will he be buried there or permanently interred at Neverland Ranch?

Burial Watch '09 continues. Day 14. No end in sight.

Meanwhile, one member of Michael's family ~  his beloved maternal grandmother, Martha Bridges ~ is definitely buried there.  Here's photographic proof obtained when we paid respect to her this morning.

More photos from today's visit are filed here.

To learn more about lovely Martha and to leave her a virtual flower, please visit her Findagrave.com memorial page.

Just went to Martha Bridges gravesite link and noticed that Michael's grandfather was called Prince Albert Scruse...now I know why his sons were name Prince!

I like your site!

Hi Victoria, thanks for your question! Andy Gibb is at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, in an outdoor crypt in the Courts of Remembrance. The public can visit him. More often than not he has some kind of flower tokens. His dad, Hughie, is also entombed nearby.

You can see my most recent photos of his crypt in this post:

    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.

    "We've gotten a front-row seat to all the twists and turns taking place at the beleaguered cemetery, Grand View Memorial Park, from an intrepid citizen journalist named Lisa Burks." ~ Jason Kandel, ValleyNews.com Editor, 12/28/2006
