Graves of Bruce and Brandon Lee
Bruce and Brandon Lee are buried at Seattle's Lakeview Cemetery, in the U.S. state of Washington. The gravesite is a tourist attraction visited by thousands of people a year.[1][2] It is considered one of Seattle's most famous gravesites,[3][4] was listed as one of the top 10 celebrity graves in the world by Time,[5][6] and is found in several Seattle travel guidebooks.[7][8][9] In 2013, forty years after his death, on Bruce Lee's birthday, flowers were piled as high as the headstones.[1] Lake View Cemetery did not allow Kurt Cobain to be buried there because of the already-large numbers of visitors to the Lees' graves.[10]
