Beneath Los Angeles



YouTube-er Ken Goldstein edited together these pics of Southern California graves from Steve Goldstein's excellent website Beneath Los Angeles.

Goldstein has put together an exhaustive collection of gravesite photos on his site -- celebs and notorious figures are featured (and conveniently alphabetized), as well as just plain bizarre headstones from cemeteries across SoCal.

Goldstein compiled the pics for his upcoming book "BENEATH LOS ANGELES: Southern California's Graves of the Famous, the Infamous, and the Just Plain Dead." He writes:

Here's one of my favorites, Jack Lemmon's tongue-in-cheek gravestone:
