WTF?

Burt Reynolds Laid to Rest in Hollywood More Than 2 Years After His Death

quote:

More than two years after his death in 2018, Burt Reynolds has been laid to rest.

The iconic actor died at 82 on Sept. 6, 2018, after facing health issues for several years. He was finally buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Thursday in a private ceremony, the Associated Press reported. Reynolds' family members reportedly participated via Zoom.

His gravesite is temporarily marked with a simple headstone bearing his name but a bust of Reynolds, who was cremated, is currently under commission, according to the AP.

The cemetery's president and co-owner Tyler Cassity told the news service that the bust will hopefully be unveiled in a public ceremony on the third anniversary of his death later this year.




The article doesn't say why. I remember Casey Kasem being kept on ice for a long time over a will dispute between his wife at the time of his death and his kids.

Reportedly some of the family members wanted to put his alias on the headstone...

Reynolds, who was cremated


It's not like his body was laying on a slab for 2 years. They just had not interred his ashes yet.

Burt should be buried in a tomb that is a giant marble Trans Am. That would be badass.

Big Enos bet the Snowman that he couldn’t drive the ashes from Fla to L.A. and back in 17,520 hours in a 1977 Chevy pickup.
