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.

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.

I think Farrah Fawcett's headstone is about as warm and fuzzy as the marble it is engraved on! Not even her DOB or DOD is on it with no warm wishes. I was glad to see that she left her WHOLE estate to Redmond. I saw on either RadarOnline or TZ within 2 weeks of her death, O'Neal cavorting in the surf with some brunette. Griffin O'Neal said at the funeral that the whole thing was for publicity. I am beginning to believe him. Oh well, I am a firm believer in the saying "what goes around comes around" and Karma will definitely have its say.

Cold and un-pretty... not at all like the lady herself. I think that tombstones should be more descriptive... this is just wrong!

Whoa! You win the prize. I have pics and a video up showing her "Fresh Unmarked Grave" taken on the day of her funeral. While I live in the neighborhood, I haven't walked over in a few weeks. Thanks for posting.

She should deserve better. Its too plain and simple. Not even a day of birth?.. It would at least look pretty if they engraved her signature below her name.

This is the worst headstone Ive ever seen. She was such a beauty she deserves a better looking resting place!
RIP Farrah
