Crown Hill Cemetery

Crown Hill is an older cemetery in Dallas. It is laid out in a large V shape, with a Mausoleum (with crematorium) In the middle. Home to many older graves, it includes Bonnie Parker, of Bonnie and Clyde fame. Bonnie's mother blamed Clyde Barrow for leading her daughter in a life of crime, and ultimately her death at the age of 23. Mrs. Parker would not allow Bonnie to be buried next to Clyde. Clyde is in the Western Height cemetery (private) located just west of Downtown Dallas
