I live 350 miles from the final resting place of Dwight Frye and I have been fortunate enough to visit him on more than one occasion. Here is a photo of his marker.
It really is a beautiful, peaceful place. I hope to be able to visit again soon.

Moving, yet sad as well, happy and grateful to finally be there, but forlorn to know that he is gone and was gone too soon.

It's interesting to be there. That's the best word I can come up with. Because there's this giddy feeling that you found him (and believe me that place is HUGE) but then it's sad because it is his final resting place, and you know he should not have died that young and you also know this is the exact spot his loved ones stood in as he was buried. So it's definitely a mix. Overall there is a general sense of peace though that I've always picked up on.

I'm in New Hampshire right now, but maybe soon I'll make the 2-hour drive from San Diego to Glendale so I can pay my respects.

Though I would have to remortgage my house to do that at the moment

Liz, it's worth the drive. on Findagrave.com it tells you the plot location. Here's a tip if you go, find the section then ask a landscaper (if they're around) for the plot number. That's how I found him. The people at the gate are not going to give any info unless you get lucky, ESPECIALLY since Michael Jackson was buried there. They've always been notoriously tight lipped about giving out details but that turned it up a notch.

Mrs V.: Thanks to those that left goodbye messages and to Endo who kindly offered to help. After the carry on with facebook last year, I became less and less enthusiastic about this board and was frankly hurt by certain behaviours. Life's too short to deal with BS Jun 25, 2013 20:47:08 GMT

Mrs Vindecco: I no longer have energy or enthusiasm to continue, hopefully members can find another way to celebrate Dwight etc. Jun 25, 2013 21:00:26 GMT

limey: Thanks again Mrs V for all your hard work on this forum. I'm so glad I found you guys and to know that Dwight is loved and remembered by so many is awesome! Take care and yes, please keep in touch.
