This video displays Eddie Cochran's final resting place at Forest Lawn Cemetery, in Cypress, California. Eddie was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park near Buena Park on Monday 25th April at 10am. His parents Alice and Frank Cochran, his brothers and sisters were joined by some 250 mourners for the service lead by the Rev C Sumner Reynolds of the Maywood Methodist Church. Eddie's devastated brothers Bob and Bill sent a wreath of red and white carnations shaped like a guitar. Amongst the mourners was Mrs Concepcion Valens, mother of Eddie's pal Ritchie, who died the year before.

I was supposed to accompany his coffin back to the States but declined because my manager, and Eddies promoter Larry Parnes, was using it as publicity stunt. I broke my contract with Parnes later in 1960.

My car's on fire!

I went to Eddie's grave about 5 years ago and it was very moving. I meditated there and spoke to him for about 20 minutes. Don't know if he heard me, but I'm glad I made the trip and paid my respects to this great rock and roll pioneer.

Thanks for adding, unfortunately that's about as close as I'm ever likely to get to paying my respects.

That's not really Sharon Sheeley's grave. It is a cenotaph -- a memoral marker placed there because of her closeness in life to Eddie Cochran. Sharon's body is not there.
