Where Is Sharon Tate Buried?

Publish date: 2024-05-03

Tate is buried in a family plot in Holy Cross Cemetery. The Catholic memorial park is located in Culver City, California, and overlooks Santa Monica Bay. Tate, 26 years old, was the first in the plot laid to rest, along with her unborn son (per Find a Grave). The child, due to be born two weeks after her murder, died in utero as a result of Tate’s fatal injuries. Her grave is marked with both her name and the name of the child she almost carried to term, Paul Richard Polanski.

In the years since Tate’s death, two other family members have been buried near her. Her youngest sister, Patricia Tate, died in 2000 at the age of 43 after a long battle with breast cancer (per CNN). Their mother passed away in 1992 and is resting next to them. Tate’s father died in 2006, but his remains were cremated and given to a friend of the family (per Find a Grave).

Holy Cross Cemetery is the final resting place for many familiar names in Hollywood history. Rita Hayworth, John Candy, and Bing Crosby are all interred there, along with “Dracula” star Bela Lugosi (via Curbed Los Angeles).
