So there you have it. The people who run Forest Lawn are idiots (see my post above). They love it if you're there to see the questionable artifacts (which sadly, no longer talk). But they'll toss you out if you go looking for dead celebrities (check out http://www.findagrave.com/php/famous.php?page=cem&FScemeteryid=7974 for a VERY long list!)
