My dad used to say "People are just dying to get in there!" everytime we passed a cemetery when I was growing up. It's corny, I know, but I gave up a long time ago trying to see "live" stars and have dedicated my actions to seeing their "final" homes, so to speak. I would like to write a series of articles about the cemeteries where you can see the star's final resting places.
WESTWOOD MEMORIAL VILLAGE 
Located in the Westwood section of Los Angeles near UCLA, this is my favorite cemetery to visit. Nestled between tall office buildings and residential homes off of Wilshire, it is difficult to find but worth the effort. Of the 1125 persons buried there, 238 are famous people. With the recent addition of a new section to the south and beautiful rose gardens, it is the final resting place of such stars as Marilyn Monroe, Farrah Fawcett, Jack Lemmon, Walter Mathau, Lew Ayres, Eve Arden, Eva Gabor, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin,
Truman Capote, and Natalie Wood to name a few. To see a complete listing and location of the graves, click the link below. Because it is small, the graves and crypts are very easy to find.
