Frank Sinatra Grave

Greater Palm Springs


Rat Packers should make the pilgrimage to Desert Memorial Park to pay their final respects to Frank Sinatra who died in 1998 at age 82. He was buried in Plot B-8 with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a pack of Camel cigarettes tucked into his suit. His head stone reads: 'The Best is yet to come.' The website has a downloadable map.

The cemetery is also home to Sonny Bono, one half of Sonny and Cher and one-time mayor of Palm Springs.
