Elizabeth Taylor's Final Resting Place Uncovered
March 24, 2011 02:00:27 GMT

The question where Elizabeth Taylor will be laid to rest has been answered. TMZ has brought up the report that Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery is likely to be the final resting place for the screen legend, who died of congestive heart failure in the early hours of Wednesday, March 23.

Accordingly, the 79-year-old actress will be laid to rest next to her parents, Francis and Sara, and close to Marilyn Monroe. TMZ has posted photo of her potential crypt. The cemetery itself is filled with other late stars, like Natalie Wood, Roy Orbison, Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Merv Griffin and Truman Capote.

It is believed that Liz's funeral will likely take place in Los Angeles, but details have not been officially announced. Though so, Westboro Baptist Church unraveled on Wednesday that the anti-gay church has threatened to protest the funeral, considering that the late actress was an advocate for AIDS awareness and research.

Margie Phelps, a daughter of Westboro Baptist Church pastor Fred Phelps, has tweeted several attacks on Liz. One of her most recent tweets read, "SO knows No RIP Elizabeth Taylor is in torment for enabling fag filth & don't care! #WBC picketing funeral!" Another one read, "She [Taylor] was a proud *****! Now she's in Hell Version Final.0! #WBCwill picket funeral!"

In a positive light, Craig E. Thompson, executive director of AIDS Project Los Angeles remembered Liz for her humanitarian works. "It's impossible to underestimate Elizabeth Taylor's impact on the fight against AIDS from the very beginning. We're simply devastated by her loss," he said. "Today, we've lost one of the boldest advocates our community has seen, but her tremendous impact lives with us."

The American Foundation of AIDS Research (amFAR) also paid its respect to Liz, who was its Founding International Chairman. In a statement, the nonprofit organization said, "Dame Elizabeth's compassion, radiance, and generosity of spirit will be greatly missed by us all. She leaves a monumental legacy that has improved and extended millions of lives and will enrich countless more for generations to come."

Sager: 'Taylor wasn't in pain as she passed away'

Singer Carole Bayer Sager is grateful she was allowed to say goodbye to her close friend Dame Elizabeth Taylor before she lost her fight for life in hospital - because she saw the actress "wasn't in pain" anymore.

The Cleopatra icon died of congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday (23Mar11), after a long battle with ill health.

Sager saw Taylor in her final hours, and has opened up about the star's last moments during an emotional interview on U.S. chat show Piers Morgan Tonight.

She says, "I went there last night to say goodbye and I knew she was going and I hated that she'd been in hospital for seven weeks, but she wasn't in pain last night and she wasn't really conscious when I saw her. I was there with Liza and Maria, her two daughters, and I was able to say goodbye."

Sager has heaped praise on Taylor for her longstanding friendship and revealed how the actress supported many of her employees and showbiz pals, including Michael Jackson and actor Roddy McDowall.

She adds, "She was an extraordinary friend - and not just for the good times. She showed up in my life when my marriage broke up many years ago, to Burt Bacharach. She was there for her friends, for her family, her assistant Tim. (Before) his mother died this year she insisted she come and stay at her home and made a hospice for Tim's mum and she made a hospice for her longtime publicist, who died in Elizabeth's home.

"She was there for Roddy McDowall who she loved dearly, they were child actors together. She knew how to show up. She showed up for Michael Jackson. When he needed support she flew around the world to be with him. She was an extraordinary, loving, generous friend."

The singer/songwriter admits Taylor was in pain during her final years, but is proud of her pal's spirit and determination through her health battle, adding: "She was in a wheelchair for the last few years of her life and this year she fractured both of her knees and literally had to be carried out of the wheelchair and hospital bed. She couldn't do the things she did.

"She was so brave. Most of her life she endured chronic back pain and she brought all this light and love and generosity to this world despite the fact, often, she was in pain. I think the last few years... didn't bring her as much joy because her body was failing and she wasn't - her spirit wasn't, but her body was. It had lived a lot and suffered a lot."

And Sager hopes Taylor will be remembered for her loving nature and dedicated charity work: "I think she'd want to be seen as an actress who cared very, very deeply about her friends and this world."

Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

Gosh...I didn't think Elizabeth's death would touch me, but when I found out yesterday, I felt shock and grief. I guess I found it hard to believe that she could just die. It's hard to explain, but two years ago, Michael and Elizabeth were still here. You look back on those priceless clips of the two together, especially their time with Gypsy the elephant and you just can't understand how they can both be gone. Indescribable sadness.

Listening to Michael sing Elizabeth I love you makes one feel sad for the person singing it, as he is no longer here. But now, one feels sad and empty that the person he's singing it to is also gone.

How can they both be gone? Why does death have to be so forever?

Before Michael died, I never really thought about death. But now, it feels like I've learnt so much these past 2 years and it still weighs heavily on my mind. I've accepted Michael's death and I know that he's no longer here, but its so hard to understand. You look at those TMZ clips of him shopping and it feels so now. But it isn't. And sometimes it feels like it was a million years ago. How can someone who meant so much to us be gone?

Yet, another thought entered my mind. Elizabeth stood by him for so long, when everyone turned their backs, which shows their true characters. Maybe Michael didn't really belong here? Maybe it was his reward for all the joy he gave people: to leave the world that caused him so much pain.

And now, I just hope they really are "together again". That thought makes me happy. But it makes me sad that we can't see them again.

I'm sorry for this post that probably makes so sense. I'm just feeling really sad about this.
 
Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

you make perfect sense, Stranger. I feel the same way you do.
 
Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

Liz was the only one who truly understood Michael. She was a beautiful person, inside and out.

Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

i was really sad when i found out yesterday. but i found comfort knowing that she will be with Michael again and he wont be alone anymore and she wont be alone eather. she was so beautiful inside and out and she was one the true loving, caring, supportive friends that Michael had and who truly loved him dearly. her loss is a shock but it was her time and she went peacefuly and painlessly. may she rest in peace.
 
Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

So sad but at least she isn't in pain anymore. She was a loyal friend to michael and she was also a great humanitarian, the world has lost a beautiful person.
 
Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

TMZ has just posted a copy of her death certificate and it looks like she'll be buried at Forest Lawn - where Michael is burried.

TMZ Story below

Elizabeth's private funeral service will be held today and she will be buried at the same cemetery where Michael Jackson is entombed.

We've learned the private service will be held at Forest Lawn in Glendale, CA.

We're told the service will be held this afternoon.

We've obtained the death certificate, which lists Mt. Sinai as the mortuary and Forest Lawn, Glendale as her final resting place.

Therefore it now appears Taylor's final resting place will not be the crypt next to her parents at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

I thought about that yesterday because I remember reading that somewhere once but didn't think it was true. If this is true that's so nice she wants to be with Michael.

I wish she had got to see his children grow up. I don;t know how much they knew her but I wish she could have seen it for Michael.

Even though Elizabeth's parents as well as many well known celebrities are buried at Westwood, it did cross my mind if perhaps she had chosen more recently to be at Forest Lawn. With Michael there, it may well be true. I'm not certain where her deceased husband(s) are, but if at Forest Lawn, that could have also been an influencing factor. The thought that Elizabeth and Michael could be close in death as they were in life seems feasible, tragically sad in one way, but comforting in another.

Woua! If it's true, it's mean she changed her mind after Mike was buried at Forst Lawn so. Her family is buried at Westwood, so she would have changed for Mike....

What a true and loyal friend....


Beautiful woman, inside and out.
 
Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

May you rest in peace, Elizabeth Taylor :(
 
Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

R.I.P Dame Elizabeth Taylor :angel:


 
Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

Such sad news, but oh what fun they will have together in spirit. She was a beautiful woman and her loyalty to Michael was such a rare thing in his life, god bless them both.
 
Re: Dame Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

I don't know if it's true or not,I heard that She was going to be buried near her parents but in some reality,it doesn't matter where she will be buried or cremated She was already with Michael and her loved ones when she left us.We all know we can't go into the place where Mike is entombed unless we have special permisson and I guess it will be the same for fans of Elizabeth if this happens so lets wait and see on this one and I'm really not interested in the will.It's really none of our business unless the family or Estate in this case of Elizabeth Taylor says it's ok for the Media and the World to see it and know what's in it.I know that Her Money should go to her Family and Her Charities,Anyone else Who knows. I hate to say what else that's on my mind that makes me suspicious but I know she suffered along time with pain eversince she was a little girl and she tried to solve her problem to cure herself drinking alcohol and painkillers together but her heart eventhough she thought the heart surgery to replace a valve would solve the problem,something else recurred to make her go back to the Hospital.I'll miss her but I know Mike was crying of joy to see his friend again in the house of the Lord.She was a true friend to him and others who needed her the most and even if she was ill ,she would call to findout if things were ok with them.
She was the one who named Mike The KING OF POP, ROCK AND SOUL aka KING OF POP And he will always be remembered for that 4ever.
