How to Find Famous People's Gravesites

Whether you want to pay your respects or like looking for gravesites, finding the graves of celebrities or other famous people can be interesting. While it may take some time to discover where a particular grave is, with a little research and patience you can often find the one that you want. Along the way, don't forget to keep you eyes open for other famous graves.

Instructions

1

Look through online famous grave registries. There are a number of sites that list the location of many famous people. They generally include the name and location of the cemetery and some even have the exact location of the grave site for the individuals that they have listed.

2

Visit cemeteries in larger cities. If you're just looking for famous graves, but don't have anyone in particular in mind, go to some of the older, cemeteries in larger cities. Some will have maps of famous graves on hand, but in others you'll need to look around. The Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills of California is one cemetery that has a number of famous graves in it.

3

Post the celebrity or famous person whose grave you are looking for on a grave hunting message board or forum. You may find that someone knows where you need to go to find the grave for a specific person.

4

Look at the obituary for the famous person you're interested in finding. In some cases, it may tell if the internment took place or whether the burial took place in a different place than the death. This can help you track down potential cemeteries for the grave.

5

Talk to individuals at the cemeteries that you believe may be possible sites. There are generally registries at each cemetery that list the plot and person buried there, at least for newer cemeteries.
