DIRECTIONS TO OSWALD'S GRAVE
Courtesy Of Deanie Richards at JFK Place

As you face Rose Hill cemetery office, flanking the property to your left is a public road.  
A chain link fence borders the cemetery property there.

While there are several drives into the cemetery, the one nearest to LHO's grave is the 
cemetery drive closest to the public road mentioned above.

Assuming that drive has not become one way, drive into the cemetery on it.  Oswald's 
grave is between that drive and the public road, which would be to your left.

As you get farther into the cemetery on this drive, you will come to a wider place in the 
drive (to let cars pass on the narrow way).  Stop there.

The grave is about 20 feet left of the drive.  The markers in that area are all flat on the 
ground.  There are few around his grave.

Stand and look towards the public road.  On the other side of that street are a few houses.  
One house is vaguely pink and is in line with two or three trees planted perpendicular to 
the road.  These trees are about 40 feet from the grave and slightly to the right of it.

As you look at this house and tree configuration, on your right about fifty feet away is a 
tall tree.  There is a line of about 7 grave markers between it and the street in front of 
Rose Hill.  There is a space with no graves and then Oswald's.

On around the same road, deeper into the cemetery is the chapel that housed Oswald until 
enough pallbearers could be found to carry him 11/25/63.

The cemetery people are still under court order to keep the location of the Oswalds' grave 
secret.  The reddish stone marker says only "Oswald" and doesn't indicate anything else 
(even that his mother is buried there).  LHO was originally buried as "William Bobo" and 
the cemetery was closed to the public the day of his burial as a further security 
precaution.

This "map" isn't in scale from Lancaster to the gravesite.  It is farther than this indicates.  
It is generally in scale in the gravesite area.  The access drive is not straight and the 
chapel is some distance away from this LHO grave, on the curving drive.
