Whitney's Final Resting Place: Singing Up for a Visit?
Ever belted out "I Will Always Love You" in the shower, only to realize you can't quite hit those Mariah-esque high notes? Then you, my friend, need a healthy dose of Whitney Houston. And what better way to channel her vocal power than by visiting the legendary singer's final resting place?
But before you grab your bedazzled fanny pack and hop on a tour bus labeled "Whitney's World," there are a few things to know. Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the fascinating (and sometimes frankly hilarious) world of celebrity grave-hopping... well, visiting.
Is it even possible, dude?
Absolutely! Whitney Houston is chilling (well, resting peacefully) in the East Meadow section of Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey. No security lasers or Indiana Jones-style booby traps to navigate here. Just a regular cemetery with hopefully slightly less dramatic encounters than your typical horror movie graveyard.
Word to the wise: Cemeteries are places of respect, so ditch the air guitar and selfie stick routine. Think quiet reflection and maybe a bouquet of her favorite flowers (though with a voice like that, she probably could have rocked a bouquet of broccoli and made it look fabulous).
Finding Whitney: A Treasure Hunt for the Tone-Deaf?
Now, Fairview Cemetery isn't exactly a walk in the park (unless you're Whitney belting out a power ballad, in which case, carry on). The East Meadow section is pretty big, so you might need to brush up on your map-reading skills or unleash your inner Nancy Drew. But hey, consider it a pilgrimage to the shrine of a vocal goddess!
Here's a tip: the internet (bless its beautiful soul) has** photos of Whitney's headstone**. It's a beaut - a giant red granite teardrop with a picture of her radiant face. Just don't get so starstruck you trip over a tombstone (unless it's Elvis', then by all means, be my guest).
So, should you visit?
If you're a Whitney fan, then absolutely! It's a chance to pay your respects to a musical icon and maybe even unleash a few (slightly off-key) notes in her honor. Just remember, it's a cemetery, not a rock concert. Keep it respectful, respectful, respectful.
But if you're just curious and have nothing better to do on a Tuesday afternoon, well, maybe hit up the bowling alley instead. Whitney deserves fans who truly appreciate her gift.
Ultimately, the decision is yours. Just don't be surprised if Whitney's spirit whispers in your ear, "Honey, you gotta work on that vibrato."
