Great channel, this is the first video that I'm watching from your channel, I love videos like this, it's amazing to see these graves and to reflect on how time passes and everything comes to an end. People and things and ideas that seem like they will live forever quietly come to a close with no one hardly noticing.
I was at FL Glendale a few weeks ago to find my aunts grave. She lived in LA over 50 yrs with no family nearby. I flew from Indiana to leave flowers at her crypt. I was able to visit a few celebrity graves. Disappointed the great mausoleum is mostly closed to visitors. A beautiful cemetery
DD, Mama was hot! BTW, did you know that "thing'' was the grandfather of the Hamburger Helper hand? That looks like one tough trek up the hill. I'll bet there's a relationship between how hard it is to get to a grave and the amount of visitors
Some do and usually very vague. Others don't have an office. Rarely, does someone walk me to the gravesite, often they highlight a map in the general area and point. I was just at Forest Lawn and it took 19 hours over 3 days to find the 65 locations I was looking for. Lots and lots of walking with a sore neck looking down. lol
If you try to go to the Great Mausoleum there at Forest Lawn Glendale Memorial Park, the part you won’t be able to get to is where Michael Jackson is at in a sarcophagus. I suppose it’s to be private for his family to visit and so it doesn’t become like Jim Morrison’s grave in Paris where many want to break off pieces of his grave for souvenirs. There was once a bust of Jim Morrison there at his grave but it was taken by someone who wanted it as a souvenir for themself. I do see with Michael Jackson’s resting place where people will break off pieces of his sarcophagus and take them home for themselves. I know about Jim Morrison’s grave in Paris from the RUclips video series “Hollywood Graveyard” as host Arthur Dark went there to Paris, France 🇫🇷, England 🏴 , Ireland 🇮🇪, Italy 🇮🇹, and Switzerland 🇨🇭. Some popular Hollywood Stars are laid to rest there in those European countries.
Arthur Dark also has it where some people submit their videos to through the “Hollywood Graveyard” series page for each location he has a video on, then he puts them together and then shows them on RUclips. Another RUclips video series I also see is “The Graveyard Channel” that is hosted and done by a Steve Sturt who lives in Palm Springs. Another is called “Scott on Tape” as he is Canadian who is now living in Florida and he goes to some graves and other places too, especially where past celebrities died at. He did go to where Kenny Rogers is laid in Atlanta, Georgia. He went to where John Travolta’s house is outside of Orlando, Florida and you can’t get to close, as there is private security there, as he doesn’t want to be disturbed when he is home.
@@ericlomax1793 You mentioned Steve. I contacted him beforer I strted this and he helped a lot - good guy. I've seen those others guys too. Any suggestions that I can do better?
@@famousgraveswithdiamonddave , not too much else I have there, I am not sure if you have been to John Wayne’s grave which is at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona Del Mar, California and he has been there all along as when he was laid the location was kept by his family members, as he must have made so many enemies in Hollywood that they would do terrible things after his death. They did put a headstone there in 1999, 20 years after his death to allow memories to fade and some people to also pass away too. I have been on one cemetery tour twice and that was at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, behind Paramount Pictures Studios. It is a walking tour, so be sure you wear comfortable shoes, bring bottled water as you can work up a thirst, a hand towel to wipe sweat off of you if it’s very warm of a day, and maybe a cooling towel to keep you cool that you buy through Amazon, just do a search for Cooling Towels. It is done by a Kari Bible and is usually about two and half hours, more information at (cemeterytour.com). Another person I just remember is “Lamont At Large” he just goes to one person’s grave on a video. He even went to Charles Bronson’s grave in Vermont. Steve Stuart said he wanted to go to famous graves and historical graves in New York City,
Many gravesites are actually driven to today for the funerals. On the Tom Mix comics, ove big reason 1940s', comics are so valuable is that a great many were destroyed in the WW 2 paper drives for thevus military. Nothing against Toms memory, just pointing this out
Not in this episode you showed the grave of Dorothy Dandrich. Here's a tidbit for you she was married to one of the Nicholas brothers. The brother she married was known as a womanizer and was out the night she went into labor she tried holding the baby in her stomach hoping he would come home to take her to the hospital which he didn't and the baby ended up didn't get enough oxygen to the brain and Dorothy couldn't deal with her baby with learning disability so she put the baby in a home for the mentally challenged she paid the hospital one lump sum for the up keep for the child's life. She blamed her husband for this and got divorced shortly afterwards.
Thank you for another great video. Take care.
Thanks Lisa. Appreciate you attending live, too.
Another Good video.
Thanks Gary.
Just how it should be, simple and informative.
Thanks, Randy. My channel is 8 months old and I'm still learning what appeals. So thanks.
Good stuff buddy, been to this place a few times! It's beautiful and sorrowful.
Thanks Pal. Sorrowful because I had to walk miles!!!
Very ni factual vlog. Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane.
Thank you, Norma.
Thanks again for the video, especially George Barris. I'm a huge fan of his work, especially the Batmobile
George was in a locked area but I was able to get in this time so I quickly got him. Thanks for your support, Friend.
This is a beautiful cemetery 👍
:)
Great show
Thanks for the support!
Hoping to see you go live again. Let us know when you do.
You got it. If I have time, I will this evening.
Blossom was the sister of Jeannette MacDonald. Just found it out recently. But you are so knowledgeable I figure you knew that.😁
I didn't know until the day after I did this video. Thanks Cynthia.
New follower 🙋♀️🇮🇹 hi from Italy!very Interesting vlog! Love cemeteries tours!
Thanks and welcome. More to come.

Glad you made the trip. I'm from Lafayette myself. As you probably know its over 300 areas and has 1,100 famous graves. Thanks for leaving a comment.
New subscriber - thank you for posting these videos. I agree with Find a Grave - some of the maps are completely off.
thank you welcome aboard.
DD, Mama was hot! BTW, did you know that "thing'' was the grandfather of the Hamburger Helper hand? That looks like one tough trek up the hill. I'll bet there's a relationship between how hard it is to get to a grave and the amount of visitors
LOL. All gooooood points!
Tom Mix was killed driving his Cord! There is a memorial where he died on Arizona route 79.
I though I said Cord but too late. Thanks for pointing this out.
Tom Mix cried at Wyatt Earp's funeral . Do you have Wyatt's grave marker ?
Not yet.
Are you planning back to hollywood forever cemetery and hillside memorial park culver city California
Yes, hopefully soon. I'm at Forest Lawn today.
Don’t cemeteries have directories and locator maps? How do they expect people to find one out of thousands?
Some do and usually very vague. Others don't have an office. Rarely, does someone walk me to the gravesite, often they highlight a map in the general area and point. I was just at Forest Lawn and it took 19 hours over 3 days to find the 65 locations I was looking for. Lots and lots of walking with a sore neck looking down. lol
Blossom Rock was sister to movie star Janette MacDonald!
Indeed so!
You showed Schlitzie's gtave on here. He's buried in Queen of Heaven Cemetery not Forest Lawn in Glendale!?!
Good eye. I meant to say this.
✌

Thanks for the info. I did walk in and they asked me to leave because I had my camera. I don't know how Arthur pulled it off.
Also, wish I had his delivery and knack in doing great vids.

Oh good. Thanks for the info! Would make sense to drive up. I've just never seen it. Also, thanks for comics update - makes complete sense.
Capt of adam 12Art Gilmore is beried there😊
Cool!
Frank and Willam’s last name is pronounced Borzaygee.
Thanks for the tip.
