The cemetery is locked, but there is a gap between the gate. As soon as you get in the gate, turn left and walk straight and you can see Clyde’s grave site. The neighborhood is kind sketchy, so daytime visit is probably better FYI — if you want to see Bonnie’s grave, it is at Crown Hill Memorial Park. 5 fun facts about the duo: 1) 20,000 people attended Bonnie’s funeral, flowers were send from everywhere, the largest floral tribute was sent by a group of Dallas city newsboys; the death of Bonnie and Clyde sold 500,000 newspapers in Dallas alone 2) Bonnie was a married woman, just not to Clyde. She got married to Roy Thornton when she was 16, who was a thief and cheat, Bonnie Parker died with her wedding ring still on her finger. Divorce was not really an option for a known fugitive. Roy was serving a 5 year sentence when Bonnie died 3) Officially, Bonnie was shot 26 times and Clyde was shot 17 times, unofficially, that number was much higher. Bonnie was still holding onto a half eaten sandwich when she was shot 4) One of the undertaker assisted in the funeral, Dillard Darby, was kidnapped by Bonnie and Clyde a year earlier after his car had been stolen by them. At the time, Bonnie thought it was hilarious that they kidnapped an undertaker, she asked Dillard to take care of the gang’s mortuary needs in the future, give him 5 dollars and released him. 5) Although both Bonnie and Clyde are chain smokers(Camels is their preferred brand), but she doesn’t smoke cigars, the image of her smoking a cigar is just pose. She does drink whiskey and get drunk, Clyde, on the other hand, doesn’t drink because he needs to be alert in case they need to make a fast getaway.
