Inglewood Park Cemetery is the final resting-place for many well known and famous people ranging from community locals to nationally known and even some Hollywood Stars.

I provided all the GPS information on the Find-A-Grave website for this cemetery. Using information from the following websites and Inglewood Park Cemetery's business office, I've compiled GPS data for at least 70 of the 80 published final resting places:
www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/famousSearch.cgi?mode=cemetery&FScemeteryid=8074
www.seeing-stars.com/Buried2/InglewoodPark.shtml
www.hollywood-underground.com/inglewood.htm
www.inglewoodparkcemetery.org/ (hand out)

See the above websites for details, and/or pictures.

I got the opportunity to locate a couple graves using my GPS-handheld, for a couple vacationing from Ohio. I hope the use of GPS waypointing or landmarking will continue to increase by the celebrity grave hunting hobbyist; thus making it easier for others to locate the grave of a famous person. A side note, I've heard that some cemeteries are hostile towards celebrity grave hunters, but going almost directly to a grave using GPS does not arouse as much suspicion as walking back and forth row by row or going to the cemetery office and asking.
Lastly. Unlike many of the other waypoints that I've contributed, where they could be easily located once you get close, or seen from the air, finding waypointed graves, does require you to search an area within a 20 yard radius of the waypoint. Happy hunting.
