One of my PCL co-bloggers, Donna Lethal, recently wrote a rather disturbing article for the LAist about Brent and Tyler Cassity, the 2 charming Midwesterners who bought the long-neglected Hollywood Memorial Park, rebranded it "Hollywood Forever", then turned it into Tinseltown's coolest (as in room temperature) dirt-nap repository. The Cassitys are apparently under investigation for pocketing money earmarked for pre-paid funerals, and consequently, more than 100,000 people in several states may wind up being denied a final resting place in the brothers' upscale boneyards.

I blogged about H4ever back in 2005, when my friend X-8 took a set of beautiful dawn photographs of Johnny Ramone's grave marker. According to some accounts, the cemetery is now forcing everyone to register at the gate and forbidding photography, which would be a real shame.
