Location of Burial
[edit]There is incorrect information on the web about the location of her remains. The source of this error is apparently an accidental posting of her as a famous internment at the wrong cemetery. Part of a from message from Erin Lambert about the burial site and her post:
When I was little, my dad always told me she was buried in Scottsboro. It wasn't until after my dad died, that I made it a point to find her grave. I have contacted them about correcting the cemetary name, but no luck so far! It is the cemetary behind Unclaimed Baggage. Her tombstone is so small because it is a cremation plot. I was out there looking for a huge tombstone, when some city workers told me she was cremated. Anyway, I am glad that I was able to provide a picture of her grave for her fans.
The pictures Erin posted are clearly from Cedar Hill as it is a city cemetery with rock gates on one side and an iron gate on another. Woods Cove Freeman Cemetery is a beautiful small country cemetery a few miles away with a white fence around it.
