Dearly Departed Tours

Your Director of Undertakings, Scott Michaels, will narrate you through decades of death, murder, and just plain fun. Once your tour um… departs, you will be treated to the most tickling tales of tinsel town tragedies, in the cool comfort of the luxurious Dearly Departed Tomb Buggy.

In two and a half hours, you will be escorted to such infamous locations such as

The Manson Murders (the LaBianca site as well)

Both the Ambassador Hotel where Bobby Kennedy was assassinated and the service station where James Dean picked up his Porsche less than 12 hours before his death have been demolished. These sights have been replaced with others…

Paramount/RKO Studios, Mae West’s last home, the Happy Days house

and…

events of a more scandalous nature.

There is one restroom stop where you can drop your trousers and reenact George Michael’s most scandalous moment. A complimentary copy of his arrest report will be provided to all DDT guests.

You will also see several film locations such as…

Sunset Boulevard, Halloween, The Graduate, That Thing You Do, Dead Again, Grease, and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane

And wait there’s more!

The last gasp locations of Frank Sinatra, William Frawley, River Phoenix,
Dee Dee Ramone, Albert Dekker, Bela Lugosi

The REAL Nightmare on Elm Street (The Menendez home)

and of course, that chick that jumped off the Hollywood Sign

All in all, almost 100 sites are crammed into almost 3 hours, making it the best bang for your buck.
