According to Mental Floss, nobody used to be invited to Lizzie’s funeral; her sister, Emma, died a few days later (by way of New England Today). The Herald News experiences that each one of her family members, together with her slain father and stepmother and her sister, are buried in the 100-acre Oak Grove Cemetery, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Lizzie’s organic mom, Sarah, is buried next to them (consistent with Find a Grave). The family plot (observed above) dates back to 1855.

Lizzie’s grave is immensely popular and widely visited; it’s as shut as someone can get to the acquitted. To assist the curious, the cemetery painted white arrows to steer visitors to the Borden circle of relatives plot. Not everybody visits to pay respects; in April, 2015, WBUR reported that the Borden grave was once defaced with inexperienced and black paint.

The cemetery director, Tony Eaton, famous that this was no longer the primary time this had befell. However, he did blame “The Lizzie Borden Chronicles,” a Lifetime miniseries that had recently aired, for the vandalism. Besides graffiti, guests ceaselessly leave pennies and plants on Lizzie’s grave.
