50 Famous Celebrities Who Have NO GRAVESITES - They Were CREMATED & Scattered!

If you'd like to support this channel by contributing to my PATREON page, please visit / visitinggravesites
Over the years I've discovered that 100s of very famous people have been cremated and their cremated remains, or ashes, have been scattered. I was sad and surprised when I discovered that they have no gravesites or final resting places to visit.
In this video, I share with you more than 50 of these famous dead people who chose, or their family chose for them, not to have gravesites. I think many of you will be just as shocked as I was to find out who they are.
Thanks for joining me today on another raod trip down memory lane and for sharing the memories!

Two days ago, I was standing at the graves of my great great great grandparents. They were born in 1821, and 1831. I find it amazing that I can do that. Everyone needs a final resting place even if it's the ashes.

[@markphillipson768]

Wow that’s quite a list, I can understand why some families don’t want memorials. Sadly some are vandalized, pieces taken. Thank you once again for the great vlogs and all the hard work.

[@ruthietoothie68]

Mark Phillipson some families just don't want the foot traffic look at where Princess Diana is over in England Princes William and Harry didn't want that. It's the families choice.

[@countrytxrose]

I can see why some of the families or even the dead person decides beforehand they did not want to be at a ceremony or be in a grave for those very reasons you stated. Some of the names was a surprise. At least 3 from the Gilligan inland show & 2 or 3 from the Diffent Stoke show.

[@bevpeer5811]

So interesting thank you so much!

[@lawrente]

This is fantastic Steve! A perfect tribute, awareness, and reminder of those who've passed and chosen to be cremated. I'm glad Find A Grave has memorials for those whose final resting places are other than burial. Excellent discovery.

Steve....... When we pass over we do leave the memory of our lives with our loved ones. I viewed the very emotional scattering of ashes that you did when your mother passed. It was a very loving and sweet experience to have shared with you. Now I am certain that you can close your eyes and remember the sound of your mother's voice and the smell of her favorite perfume. My father passed when I was five. His grave is in Ohio. I can close my eyes and remember his loving voice calling me by the loving nickname that he gave to me. Thank you for this vlog. Best to your husband.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

That's wonderful that you can still remember his voice after all these years. Love never dies. Thanks, as always, for sharing this with us Norma!

[@stephentaylor8339]

Great tribute to some wonderful people. Glad you stumbled on the David Bowie mural and got the inspiration.

[@rattlesnake3113]

I love David Bowie so much. My all time favorite. I'm still mourning his passing. Thank you for remembering the ones with private burials and cremations. Another favorite is Margaret Hamilton that I adore also. Biggest fear as a child but I love her so much now as a adult. Thank you again.

[@tiffanyb.7596]

I always assumed that they are buried someplace. That’s very interesting, and helpful to know in case we go searching. Although I would have liked to visit some of those gravesites, I think it’s nice when ashes are scattered in special places. Thank you for your research! 😊🦋

[@nancyaylward1176]

I never realized that there were so many famous people that had no resting place to visit. On one hand I can understand that the Families are thinking of the privacy and vandalism factor, on the other, those that would just love to visit or lay flowers have nowhere to visit. It’s a double edge sword. It is the Family’s feelings that you must take into account. I’m sure that, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s gravesite will be private and within good reason, the public will not be able to visit. Thank You Steve for sharing another wonderful video. Blessings to You and Jim.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

I agree Nancy. Thanks!

[@jeannenimmo5]

My grave site, when I pass on, will be where I wish my ashes to be scattered(and I have three places already picked out). Those few who may wish to visit me are free to do so, as the places I will be laid to rest are all publicly accessible.

[@Karin-]

A wonderful list of very talented individuals, most taken too soon. I can't believe it has been 8 years already since Robin Williams. RIP to each and every one of them. Thank you Steve for sharing this

[@steved3001]

Excellent tribute to a lot of talented people , Steve. You never disappoint. The happiest days of my life have been in, or very near the ocean. That's where I want my ashes to be scattered.

[@hughjass1044]

Me too; I'm a seafaring type. I don't want to be cremated, though. That's a waste of good fish food. Just wrap me in chains, toss me in the ocean and let the fish have a banquet.

[@brendadrew834]

Me, too! Another "Me, Too' movement, those of us who have lived near the ocean for most of our lives and want our ashes scattered, me among the beach roses and given to my children/grandchildren, like others in our immediate family. May they rest in peace~ ❤💜

What a wonderful tribute video! Time sure goes by so fast, I couldn’t believe how many years ago some of them passed away and it seemed so recent. Thank you!

[@carriebaker6371]

Great video Steve. I wonder how many of these were their dying wish or the families decided to just so the fans couldn’t visit. What I find really sad is when I go to a celebrity gravesite and the family hasn’t even come to take care of it. Its like they were forgotten. Tony Curtis is buried here in Vegas and it doesn’t even look like anybody even comes from the family to take care of the grave. It’s depressing.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

I agree Carrie. At least Curtis' fans, like you and me, have visited.

[@terryray8370]

A couple came to mind that they were missed: Gene Rayburn, from "Match Game" fame, was cremated and scattered in his daughter's garden. Another is Jan Berry, of "Jan & Dean" fame; after he suffered such great brain damage after his car accident, he made a huge comeback with Dean Torrence thanks to the help of brain damage specialists, and this was in the '60's, before such great medical strides were made! He was paralyzed on his right side and had to learn to walk, talk, etc., again, but found out he could sing better than he could talk. He talked Dean into "one last ride" that lasted over 20 years! After his death, his body was donated to the center where he was helped, then cremated and given to his wife. Keep it up, Steve! I love your videos!

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Thanks Terry, I will include them in part 2.

[@KVNDV1]

I love your videos too, Steve, and I appreciate them and you for doing them. One name left out, though, was Bobby Darin (1936-1973). His body was left, as per his wishes, to the UCLA Medical Center. There is, however, a cenotaph someplace in Colorado, Boulder I think, placed by three Italian-American (as was Bobby) sisters who were his biggest fans. They went to several of his concerts and a couple of times when he headlined at the famous Copacabana nightclub in NYC. Thanks again.

[@bobbyheffley4955]

Glenn Frey was also cremated.

[@anthonyellis987]

They not have a grave or marker, but they will be remembered and loved.

Great tribute Steve! What a FANTASTIC mural of Bowie!!! Whoever painted that is a serious talent! One that "got away" in your montage was Bowie's duet partner on "Under Pressure"....The LEGENDARY Freddie Mercury! I read Mary Austin has his ashes and she may have buried or scattered them, but she is never going to reveal it!! I like to think Bowie and Freddie are floating around in Rock-N-Roll Heaven somewhere! That's where I hope I end up some day...imagine the "concerts" there...LOL!!!

Surely as cemeteries start to fill and land becomes more valuable, cremation will become almost the norm. Scattering one's ashes also lessens the burden for family members who will be freed from tending to a grave or niche.

[@JAG51020]

You forgot Bud Abbott, of the legendary Abbott & Costello comedy team. He sadly died penniless and upon his death his ashes were scattered over the Pacific Ocean. Andy Williams' ashes were scattered in the small river "Moon River" outside his Moon River Theater in Branson, MO, among the koi fish that he had personally stocked it with. The theater still bears his name and is still home to a variety of live musical performances.

What a wonderful idea for a video Steve. Maybe in the future some of these might change. I could be wrong but I originally thought Shirley Temple's family didn't have or didn't want a public burial location for her but later on did have one in Palto Alto (?) CA. It doesn't mention the public Shirley but more notes her family ties. I have always wanted a public resting place to visit for Cary Grant and Doris Day to one day pay my respects at. As a side note, that David Bowie mural was incredible. Again, this was a wonderful video Steve. Have a great weekend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

Slight correction on Larry Hagman. Yes, he was cremated and his ashes scattered, but this was done at the Southfork Ranch in Dallas. He was so connected to the show, he requested to be scattered there so anyone who visited was visiting him as well and remembering him.

Wow didn't realize so many. Thanks for sharing this was pretty cool Steve. Of course I had heard that about David Bowie,he being one of top ten favorites (golden years) loved it. R.I.P. to all wherever you are. My mom's wishes to he cremated also,but my dad would just cry with her ashes on the fireplace mantle in the urn . So I suggested to my sister why not scatter her ashes in water where my mom was an avid swimmer. She was only 5' tall but swam way out like Johnny Weissmuller (Tarzan). Everyone agreed,and on the day the boat my sister chartered had to go out 5 miles. My aunt my mom's sister said even though it was a cloudy day. When they sprinkled her ashes a ray of sun came through the clouds and that's where the ashes were,my aunt said it looked like diamonds glittering. I knew all was ok. 😌Mom was resting and at peace.
