I Hate Whitney Houston's Grave

This is Chanel's grave. It's modest but elegant. There's money to replace the flower design for each season.

Here's winter greens.

Falco's family opted for a very modest and unobtrusive grave:

Maybe the children chose the headstone and garden style. You can't arbitrate grief and rememberance.

I blame Dionne.

Yikes, it does seem to pale next to her talent.

Fuck me. Those garden border bricks are not even brick but brick-tinted cast concrete. $1.05 each. Someone spent $7.35 on that nice touch.

Hank Williams' grave seems appropriate for his legendary status. The AstroTurf looks a little tacky, but they had to put it because fans picked the real grass clean and it was thought they would do the same if the grave was covered in rocks.

Those headstones rather put paid to the oft repeated middle class label.

Evita's final resting place in the Duarte family vault inside Buenos Aires's famed Recoleta Cemetery.

Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears’ graves.

Understated elegance.

That’s just sad. Crack is whack. And clearly it drained the bank.

[quote] Tacky and tiny.

Just like its resident.

Whitney was TRASHY but very rarely tacky. She was quite elegant.

Like many a lesbian, I don't think Whitney really had a fashion sense. It's common for members of that tribe to look costumey.

What’s wrong with that, R15?

How about this example of an Irish travelers grave?

Bear in mind that most Irish travelers receive social welfare assistance 😨

Meanwhile, Leona Helmsley aka the Queen of Mean (obvi pre-DL) has a mausoleum bigger than Whitney’s last home in Georgia. “Only the little people pay taxes” - And only crackheads blow millions and millions and millions on street drugs.

R18 I do like how she has a stained glass cityscape of NYC.

R18 Anything to block out the memory of the Shtetl.

My friend was driving on a New Jersey highway and realized he was right next to her gold hearse.

Nureyev

Count on the gays to be tasteful, R11. And don’t throw Liberace in my face. I’m speaking in generalities.

Actually, Liberace’s isn’t terrible, considering what might have been.

The late, unlamented Jimmy Savile had the most ostentatious, tacky, bad taste tombstone imaginable. After his death, the truth about him (which was talked about for decades but nothing was ever done about it) finally came out; he was an unrepentant rapist/child molester, a pervert beyond imagining. His huge, grotesque headstone was removed in the dead of night, taken to a stonemason's yard in Leeds where the inscription was ground down and then broken up and sent to a landfill. The grave remains unmarked and his chagrined family issued this statement: "The family members are deeply aware of the impact that the stone remaining there could have on the dignity and sanctity of the cemetery. Out of respect to public opinion, to those who are buried there, and to those who tend their graves and visit there, we have decided to remove it."

Jesus, R25.

Vanderbilt Mausoleum on Saten Island

Interior. Who did they think they were!

[quote]I blame Dionne.

Now you hussies know that Auntie Dionne had to use most of that gravesite money to pay off her back taxes.

Harry Bailey, poor child.

I bought a plot next to my parents. It was around $2500 and fits four comfortably. I wanted to buy it before some stranger snaps it up, meaning I might have had to be buried elsewhere.

Whitney’s family are trash. So it’s not surprising they made her grave look so tacky.

I love Falco’s monument

Kate Spade

R35 That is a Roy Clark but not the FAMOUS Roy Clark. This is the famous one.

Here is Roy's longtime Hee Haw Co-host Buck Owens' mausoleum.

On another note, I wonder if Kobe Bryant will be buried in LA or in his hometown, Philly? Probably LA, although he doesn’t strike me as the type to be buried in a Hollywood cemetery.

Hattie McDaniel's grave in Angelus Rosedale Cemetery. She didn't want to be buried there. But the then owner of Hollywood Forever, then known as Hollywood Memorial Park, would not allow black people to buried there.

Whitney has a tacky, cheap grave because her tacky, cheap family wanted the money they would have spent on it for themselves.

The new owners of Hollywood Forever put a memorial to her in 1999. A wonderful gesture, I just don't care for the execution.

Not surprisingly, Andy Warhol's grave has EarthCam...so you can watch it for hours and hours and hours....

Sorry, R51 was supposed to follow R47, but I wasn't fast enough. It is Hattie McDaniel's memorial.

Joan Hackett's grave has one of my favorite epitaphs, which is a reference to the long beauty sleeps she used to take:

Staten Island?

Jack Lemmon's final credit

John the Baptist

Marilyn

To me, this is the saddest one Irna Phillips, one of the greatest women in entertainment history, the mother of the soap opera, is buried in an unmarked grave. If I could, I would at least place a headstone with a lighthouse on it.

Valentino

Lucy wanted her own gravestone, but Gary talked her out of it.

Grant's Tomb. There's an urban legend that General and President Ulysses S. Grant is buried there but I'm no sucker. Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?

I really like Houdini’s grave and visit it on Halloween when he died. It’s very elegant and I like the bench for repose. Sadly, it’s in an Jewish orthodox cemetery so his Catholic wife couldn’t be buried there too

Ugh, those are lipstick prints on Marilyn's crypt. People (are they all female? Maybe..or maybe not) KISS it. That is sick! I've heard the marble has had to be replaced at least a couple of times because of the stains left there by the lips of weird Marilyn Monroe fans.

Henry Adams, a 19th century politician’s wife “Clover” committed suicide by drinking photo developing chemicals. Augustus Saint-Gaudens created this haunting masterpiece for her memorial in Rockcreek Cemetery in D.C. It is in a tall bush enshrouded clearing with elegantly carved marble benches facing it.

Hope Cemetery in Barre, Vermont has many exceptional grave markers made by the stone cutters at the nearby quarries for the own graves.

Al Jolson's grave, really nice

Should have been a bathtub shaped memorial filled with dolomite rocks. Bobby!

Christopher Columbus’ tomb in Seville. Spain.

(I’ve seen it!)

Nicolas Cage already constructed his tomb in New Orleans.

Whitney's family plot looks like one you would bury your pets in. I'm shocked that such a big star has such a tacky final grave. And what the heck is the headstone supposed to be shaped as? A flame? It lacks artistry.

[Quote] It lacks artistry.

The Artist had no point of view.

I bet it's made in China. Many are, nowadays.

Revolutionary War Continental Army Brigadier General. John Glover.

He led the militia consisting of the Marblehead gang. Marblehead was a fishing village, so the men were expert mariners. Washington found himself with the East River in NY to his back, and the British to his front. The British were poised to attack the following morning. The Marblehead gang silently assembled their boats, and rowed Washington’s army across the river at night. When the British attacked in the morning, they found that the Americans had all escaped.

They repeated this trick to cross the Delaware River on the way to beating the Hessians at Trenton on Christmas Eve. Without this militia, the Revolution would have failed and Washington executed.

The Medici really knew how to be buried in style.

Rumor has it, the flowers around Whitney’s grave really come to life when they’re covered in snow.

Can’t they put some grass seed down to fill up all those patches of dirt? My goodness.

Looks like someone bought them in the clearance section at Home Depot.

Why the hell does BOBBI KRISTINA’S grave have a music note? Meanwhile Whitney’s doesn’t have shit (besides the VERY unfortunate coincidence of it being shaped like an upside down water droplet)!

R27 is Andersen Cooper going to be buried there too?

Nicolas Cage's tomb in New Orleans. Nic isn't dead, but he's got this tomb at St. Louis Cemetery #1 on reserve for the day he finally shuffles off this mortal coil. It occupies four plots in an already cramped cemetery, so it is claimed that existing tombs had to be cleared out to make room for this unoccupied monstrosity.

I like Falco's site as well. It's very theatrical but nicely designed and celebratory.

Whitney's is shockingly ugly. And the horrible fonts.

War memorial in Lowell, MA.

No celebrity, but I like the photo.

American cemetery in Normandy, France.

There is a "Graves Of The Famous" on YT. Here is Sandy Allen who was one of the most recognizable women in the world due to her Guinness record.

She was so cash strapped at the end of her life that she held a fundraiser to pay for her extra large casket, extra large cemetery plot & simple tomestone (the bench was added later).

It's sad that a woman who had to wear lots of men's shoes (new ones could run $500 a pair to make) & could only wear/buy earrings off the rack in the ladies clothing departments had to settle for the manly word "giant" on her marker instead of the word "giantess" (which she used during her life). I guess the 3 extra letters were too much money.

Someone also posted Robin Gibb's grave on there but it's getting too late for me to post that one.

One would think a record exec such as cryptkeepter Clive Davis would step in to give Whitney an appropriate memorial. Wouldn't it help her legacy profits. I heard, like Jackson, she was bankrupt at death but soon after the estate was raking in millions. Fans aren't going to make pilgrimages to this tawdry affair.

We’re talking about a grave, right?

R84, we know.

See r73, a mere few posts before yours FFS!

Exactly how old are you? Houdini died in 1926!

Rest In Peace, “Columbo.”

Carroll O’Connor.

Benny Hill's grave was looted after rumours spread that he had been buried with jewels. The grave was filled in and covered with a concrete slab to stop future grave robbers.

R95 reminded me. This video shows Lincoln’s grave. His body was repeatedly threatened with theft, gravenapping, for years. You can find the details online, but IIRC, he is presently entombed in his third resting place, as they kept moving him to more secure graves. At some point, his son had his coffin opened to make sure that his body wasn’t already taken. The body was well preserved, because originally, his body had taken a long tour from DC, to New York, then Illinois, so they had pumped his body full of preservative. Finally, like in R95, they re-entombed him and poured concrete on top.

Jayne Mansfields grave is remarkably tasteful. I'm only surprised the heart isn't carved of pink marble.

The flowerpots seems to have been stolen and replaced over the years.

Is a coffin just left in a crypt or mausoleum to gradually rot away?

Coffins of the rich in crypts or mausoleums were often made of metal. Alternatively, such places may contain cremated ashes in metal, place into stone chambers/crypts. There are many variations. Here is tour of an American mausoleum.

That was the most boring video I’ve ever watched R99

Yes very dull. I posted it to answer R98.

I like how Bill Paxton @ r49 left space on his grave marker for, I'm guessing, his wife. That must make her contemplate her mortality when she visits it.

[quote] Coffins of the rich in crypts or mausoleums were often made of metal.

Must get awfully hot during the summer months.

Eh, I guess they don’t mind.

Surprised no one has linked to this YouTube channel yet. Very well done and addictive vids.

I wouldn't be surprised if a fan did that border brick thing. Her Dad and daughter's grave are plain.

[quote] R98: Is a coffin just left in a crypt or mausoleum to gradually rot away?

State laws vary. For modern burials in Connecticut, they put a concrete “liner” in the grave before you get there for the burial. Then they lower the coffin into the concrete box. After you leave, they lower the concrete top on the liner. A good liner will be waterproof, so the coffin will not degrade for a very long time.

Someone once posted on DataLounge that bodies don’t rot in coffins so much as they turn to mush. I can’t verify this, however.

I was once cleaning up the grave of an ancestor who died in 1827. the passage of even this short amount of time causes all sort of shifting-around of markers and bodies and things. Anyway, he has some rotting wood breaking through to the surface, just at the headstone, so I surmised that it must have been his coffin rising to the surface. He died of TB, too, so I was a little curious how long that disease could lay dormant.

Oh, R98, coffins in a crypt will be like coffins in a liner. They’ll rot, but not for centuries.

My family has a crypt used in the 19th century where about 35 bodies are buried. What they would do there, is they would lay out the body on a body-sized shelf in the crypt, without a coffin. Then they would brick-up or otherwise seal the crypt again. Upon subsequent deaths, they’d reopen the crypt, and lay out that other person on another shelf.

Since the crypts weren’t big enough to lay-out everyone, when they ran short of shelves, they would collect-up the bones and shreds of remaining clothing from the most decayed person, and put those remains in a small stone or concrete container called an ossuary. They’d stack-up the ossuaries in the back, and layout the newly deceased person on the just-vacated shelf.

It must have been gross when people died within a year of the most recent death, since it took a year or so for the flesh to rot away and smell to dissipate. There is one crypt near my family’s crypt with a missing brick, that allows you to see in. There is one skeleton inside, on a shelf, wearing clothing reduced to rags, from the 19th century.

The Mausoleum of DL fave the gay Roman Emperor Hadrian.

Author, mortician, death industry reformer, educator and all around cool person Caitlyn Doughty (a.k.a. Ask a Mortician) can answer all of the above questions and more. Plus, her videos are fascinating and entertaining.

Grace Metalious has a very tasteful grave in a woodsy setting in the real Peyton Place, Gilmanton NH.

Judy's new digs.

Bette Davis's tomb is very nice. I love her epitaph: "She did it the hard way."

Alexander the Great’s tomb was identifiable from 323 BC, until about 1500 AD, but is now lost.

Honestly, OP. Nippy can't win with you people.

You'd think people would be happy for her that when they go visit her she's only a little stoned.

Fucking haters.

A glass barrier was placed around the tomb of Oscar Wilde to prevent vandalism. The testicles of the sculpture were stolen in 1961. The cremated remains of Oscar's lover Robbie Ross are also in the tomb.

R107 --that was interesting, thank you. I didn't know that no actual coffins were used in a crypt.

I also liked the detail about the skeleton that anyone could see due to the missing brick---why wouldn't that be fixed?

R116, you’re welcome.

Note: the lack of use of coffins in the crypts I mentioned were from the 19th century, so it might be different today. Also, it varies by state. (In Connecticut, bodies sent for cremation must be placed in a coffin before the coffin is placed in the furnace. It also does not allow you to “rent” coffins.) Boston no longer allows any burials or entombments within its city limits.

I don’t know why they wouldn’t get that brick fixed, other than for tourist reasons. There is no one living who knew these people, so no one would object strongly.

The other thing the Church did with the crypts in their basement, is they would clean them out, put the remains somewhere else, and resell the tombs. Sadly, there are no records as to where they put the removed remains.

[quote]they put a concrete “liner” in the grave before you get there for the burial. Then they lower the coffin into the concrete box. After you leave, they lower the concrete top on the liner. A good liner will be waterproof, so the coffin will not degrade for a very long time.

I wonder if that would work on my panties.

Even that fag JR Houston has a bigger better grave 😭 sad

Mel Blanc, the brilliant voice voice actor who voiced all the great Warner Brothers cartoon characters, had the best epitaph of all. The old Warner Brothers cartoons had a character (Porky PIg, usually) who would say "That's All Folks!" when the cartoon was over, or the words "That's All Folks!" would appear at the end. Blanc's tombstone says "That's All Folks." Perfect.

Here’s a touching tribute of two friends who drown together:

[italic] In Memory of

two friends that were

unfortunately Drown'd,

in Marblehead harbor;

Sept. 17, 1808;

Mr. JOHN PEDRICK 4th

Aged 21 years & 13 days,

Mr. SAMUEL HITER Jr.

Aged 20 years & 4 months,.

The only sons of

Capt. JOHN & Mrs.

SARAH PEDRICK,

Capt. SAMUEL & MRS.

HANNAH HITER.

Lovely and pleasant in their lives,

and in their deaths not divided. [/italic]

wow that is so bittersweet

Mrs. Betsey Dissmore. This one is really touching. You can really feel the bridegroom mourning is wife:

[italic] Sacred to the Memory of

Mrs. Betsey Dissmore,

Consort of

Mr. Thomas Dissmore,

who died Dec. 31, 1828;

aged 25 years 5 mos & 17 days

Betsey; my friend, my love, my bride,

Endeared by ties of grace & nuptials, died

Too soon hath left me here to mourn,

Sad thought! thou my spouse should ner' return

Eternal scenes around thee roll,

Yet joys supreme, ecstatic, fill thy soul,

Death for a season doth divide

In solemn silence, living friend from me my bride,

Say not too soon, for Jesus smil'd,

Say not return He call'd come home my child,

Mourn not for me my race is run;

On death's cold bank I linger'd; Oh how I long

Rejoice with me, rejoice to tell,

Entered the grave in peace, so all farewell. [/italic]

In the novel "Gone With The Wind" Mrs. Tarleton takes Scarlett's sister Careen out to their burying ground to show her the graves of her four sons. The Tarleton twins are buried there, along with their brother Tom; the body of their brother Boyd was never recovered. The stone of the Tarleton twins has the same sentiment as the two boys who drowned: "They were lovely and pleasant in their lives and in their death they were not divided." Careen thinks it's "lovely" and Mrs. Tarleton says "we thought it very fitting. They died almost at the same time, Stuart first and then Brent who caught up the flag he dropped." But Scarlett, who witnesses them at the burial ground is incensed; "Tombstones! And what they must have cost! Suddenly Scarlett did not feel as sorry for the Tarletons as she had at first. Anybody who would waste precious money on tombstones, when food was so dear, so almost unattainable, didn't deserve sympathy. All that money for tombstones! Why, they were fools! She felt as indignant as if her own money had been squandered." It's a very good example of how totally insensitive Scarlett is to the feelings of others. For her, it was all about money, and not love and remembrance.

Whitney's grave is wack.

Behold Napoleon's sarcophagus at Les Invalides. . . I certainly wouldn't mind such a grand display as my final resting place.

If I were as famous as Whitney, or even famous period, I think I'd like to be buried in an unmarked grave in the middle of nowhere. There's something iconic about a huge star dying and being secretly buried in an unfindable grave. It has a certain mystique and class about it.

Many American crypts, including the "ovens" in Louisiana and above-ground and below-ground family crypts around the country accommodated coffins. It was widely considered dishonorable to remove a body from a coffin for burial or storage. After a fixed period of time, by which the rent was up, another death required reuse and the body was expected to be sufficiently decayed to be removed, an ossuary-type approach was taken rarely. For the stacked oven crypts, pieces of coffin wood were removed and the body was pushed and swept to the back, which was open to the back wall, and the remains fell into the communal pile.

Ossuary burial is more of a European tradition.

In Germany, especially, most in-ground graves are considered temporary, with family payments needing to be paid again (after 10-30 years from burial) or the graves are resold for the next occupant. Ten years are considered enough to have the bodies - and their containers - reduced enough to permit another burial in the spot.

My grandfather was buried in 1927. My grandmother, being poor with three children, neglected to make the yearly maintenance payments. When I contacted the cemetery to ask if Grandpa Otto was buried there, they asked for something like $4500 in back-fees. Haha. I declined.

r12 Whitney’s estate made 10 million this year you POS

“Anything for Salinas”

I can't stop laughing at Falco's grave

It looks like they intentionally spent as little as possible - or some family member was paid to get it handled and paid for the most basic headstone, did some Home Depot landscaping themselves, and pocketed/smoked the rest.

This is embarrassing- Cissy should be ashamed of herself.

Wouldn't Whitney be happier buried in a crack house?

Is her headstone shaped like a dookie bubble?

It should say:

At my local cemetery There are many trips and falls in the older section and you can pierce through the grill and see the old wooden coffins which of have disintegrated with intact skeletons or sometimes skulls on the floor.

Some weeks back and watch the gravediggers open an old family grave and saw some very well rotten pieces of coffin,scraps of clothing and some small bones

Passing another grave which had been opened six months previously I noticed something pink in the soil when I scraped away found an upper set of dentures.

R133 the world knows Miss Cissy doesn’t do shame! Bitch ran her dyke girl into drug addiction and an early grave.

Whitney's grave is so ghetto that in a way it is appropriate.

r134 Wouldn’t you happier with 5 AIDS infected dicks shoved up your ass?

Don't worry OP, in a couple of decades

Belinda 's memorial will look like

Heaven On Earth compared to Whitney's =

Near the methadone clinic in my city is a locked, historic, 19th century burial ground. It was neglected for years, and many of the tombs had entrance-hatches that were ajar. Some of the homeless would jump the locked gate and take over these tombs for shelter. Eventually the city resealed the tombs.

[quote] My family has a crypt used in the 19th century where about 35 bodies are buried.

Damn. Your family was hardcore.

IIRC, Bill's death was not expected so it's unlikely they'd made plans for his burial. So I wouldn't assume the decision was made by Bill.

Tomb of French journalist Victor Noir and his big cock, in Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Whitney's grave is embarrassing for a star of her stature.

Karen Carpenter's tomb. The two benches are a nice touch, so people can sit and eat a sandwich.

R149 There’s also a small toilet inside the tomb if people want to throw it back up.

R149 If Richard had one shred of decency or wasn’t so utterly complicit he would have left Agnes and the father in Forest Lawn and only moved Karen to the new location and give her a little peace of mind and space for eternity away from that harpy mother.

She's dead. She has no mind.

My brother says when it’s his time, he’s going to crawl into the nearby forest and find a sheltered place to die alone, like wild animals do. Haha.

My sister, who plans for these things, assigned my brother a space in my plot. Without even asking me! It’s fine with me, though.

More grave trivia:

My plot is double wide, and three deep. Double wide is self-explanatory. As for three deep, what the do is they dig far down, to a certain level. The first to die gets placed there. Then the next to die is buried on top of the first coffin-liner. I don’t know how they stabilize it. Then the third person gets put on top of the first two. This is how, sometimes, you’ll see a lot of names on a grave marker, when it seems hard to understand how they would all fit.

[quote] The first to die gets placed there. Then the next to die is buried on top of the first coffin-liner. I don’t know how they stabilize it. Then the third person gets put on top of the first two.

You mean they don’t dig up the first person interred, place the newest dead and then re-bury the first person again? /s

R154, What was news to me, that I tried to communicate, was that the stacked them, one on top of the other, smarty pants. I had no idea that they did anything like that. I thought it was one and done.

No, I didn’t know about the multi-level graves until I bought my own plot in 2011. I just never thought about it before.

Pierre, your posts on this thread have been very informative. I, for one, have enjoyed reading them.

Crawling into a forest to find a sheltered place to die is a great plan if you can manage to cheat death long enough to die of old age. Unfortunately most of us aren't that lucky.

[quote][R156] I find that so strange. Where I live each individual has their own grave and it is theirs forever.

The major cemetery near me used to have a system whereby someone could buy a plot outright or just a single occupancy which would last a certain number of years, after which other people could be buried in the same plot. Nowadays I think they just sell them outright rather than bury strangers together.

I condescended to ignore this shit when it started, but re-ssurecting the fucking thing re-minds me of how nasty people are. Of course dear Nippy has a little stone. Since she's not buried there, as anyone who bothers to read knows. I have dee-scribed her journey in dee-tail.

But no. Blame my little IRS misunderstanding. Blame the medication of weed. Blame her little oopsies and her lesbitch taste. As if.

Fuck that. Let's just say that you'll understand when you see what Cissy has planned for herself. Mmmm-hmmm. Taj Me-Hall.

Miss Warwick, you'll have the grandest crypt ever known.

And yes, I'm telling the builders to start now so's you have that emer-gen-cee crash pad in the meantime.

The fact that you all expect elegance from the gutter Drunkard family.

Who would have thought- Nippy's grifter family didn't want to spend much money on the bread winner's grave.

The grave of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Hyde Park, NY

A friend told me her father was in the Navy at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed in 1941 and spent 36 hours straight fighting fires and pulling bodies out of the water. He hated Roosevelt with a passion and blamed FDR for the attack, saying he knew the Japanese were coming and didn't warn the military.

She has a picture of herself, age 2 or so, being held aloft over this monument and peeing on FDR's final resting place.

Has Pet Clark made arrangements ahead of time?

I remember when Luther Vandross died, some fan snapped a picture from afar when the lid of the coffin was removed and the mortician was working on his body before the family arrived to put him into the ground and it seemed he wore a pink suit.

Lucille Ball’s underwhelming niche at Forest Lawn, Hollywood, before her ashes were relocated to N.Y.

That Chanel gravesite looks straight evil!!!

This is beyond disappointing & disrespectful to Whitney’s legacy. To this day they continue pimping this woman out via hologram and you’re telling me this was the best they could do to honor her memory? That ghoul Clive Davis should have stepped in and secured something better. Especially once Bobby-Xtina was killed, they should have built a tasteful little mausoleum and interred them both into that.

My grandmother passed away almost 30 years ago and to this day we go there regularly, plant things in the spring, maintain it and make it look beautiful.. look how pathetic these look. I’m shook

I wouldn't call it tacky. It's just...underwhelming.

R160 we call that a family grave. We have one too. My mother’s buried there currently and it’s a nice spot with lots of green.

Yes, Whitney's grave really is undeserving of her.

I guess her money-grubbing family don't care though.

Surely that's not Whitney Houston's grave!

I really don't know what to say. The grave is totally insulting.
