Jack Lemmon certainly has the best one:


(Westwood Village Memorial Park, California)

 

Thanks for your contribution but from now on I hope people will include the location.

 

Edited. Sorry for breaking your rules.

 

There aren't any rules, I just think it's more interesting that way.

Also, not everybody is buried in Hollywood, and it'll save the curious a trip to Google.

 

Billy Wilder is in the same cemetery:



Find a Grave says he's buried between Carroll O'Connor and Walter Matthau. So the stars and director of The Fortune Cookie are all in the same cemetery.

The Cowboy's Prayer
Written by Roy Rogers to be read at the start of meetings of The Roy Rogers Riders Club

Lord, I reckon I’m not much just by myself,
I fail to do a lot of things I ought to do.
But Lord, when trails are steep and passes high,
Help me ride it straight the whole way through.

And when in the falling dusk I get that final call,
I do not care how many flowers they send,
Above all else, the happiest trail would be,
For You to say to me, “Let’s ride, My Friend.”
Amen
