One of the things I really admired about Karen Carpenter was that there were no showy mannerisms on stage - just pure music making with a gorgeous voice and total sincerity. She will live on forever - no doubt about that.
Thank heavens for legacies
Karen was a beautiful soul ,she was my grandmothers neighbor way back in New Haven CT. My Grandmother always spoke about Karen and Richard with so much affection. She was even invited to her wedding in the 80s.
Wow, how cool is that! Thanks for sharing it with us, Jaime!
@@TheGraveyardChannel I've got some great pictures from their home in Downy. My Grandma went to visit a few times ,she and Karen's mother Agnes stayed friends their whole lives. They were really nice down to earth people who sent my grandmother Christmas cards until she passed in 2011.
I hope she kept the Christmas cards. What great memories and keepsakes.
Wow! Now that's a cool story!!
Always loved her! A true timeless Classic !
@@jaimeconnellan78 What an interesting story! I bet your grandma had a fantastic life. My condolences on your grandmother that had passed away.
I'm a 16 year old boy and I'm a huge Carpenters fan. I will always love them and thank you for this!
What other music do you enjoy Quenya ?
Quenya Sindarin When I was 11, I met Richard Carpenter at the Los Angeles Airport. I am 57 now.
Karen shed light on what anorexia was really about. It wasn't used too much before that from my recollection.
Karen touched all of us through her voice. Personally, I can relate because I'm a drummer, sang in a choir, and my birthday is the same as hers.
At that age I bought my first cassette player and two Carpenters MCs.
What a beautiful cemetery, Steve. Karen Carpenter's voice echoes so sweetly through the years and in my heart. So pleased to know Richard is still looking after her.
Karen Carpenter and Ann Murray, the two most soothing voices of the 1970s.
What a lovely CEMETRY1.
I'm a 18 years old girl from indonesia. I love so much karen and the carpenters
You have great taste
Thank you for posting this video. There are so many of us that still love The Carpenters and miss Karen so much.
It's really nice to see that she still has so many fans after all these years!
@@TheGraveyardChannel The best Christmas album of all time, and what a sampler of her voice!
@@TheGraveyardChannel look at her fans on TH-cam
@@patcurrie9888 I still have my album from 1978!
I was a paramedic Instructor living in Newport Beach since '82 and a resident since '72. The MD PhD program later, I wish I could have been there for her.
Karen's voice gives me the chills. She was an absolutely beautiful singer and a beautiful soul. I miss her very much. I grew up with her music. She will never be forgotten. Her music will live forever. Rest in Peace, Karen.

Karen was jn my locker section in gym at Downey HS for a short time in 10th grade.. I was 2 months older than her
I miss her very much too. She's my favorite singer, theres no one like Karen. I also grew up listening to her. GOD bless her and her brother Richard.
I remember the day when I heard Karen Carpenter passed away. Sad..she was a beautiful person, a beautiful woman. My favorite singer.
@@cathykilpatrick6400 wow..that is something.
Loved Karen and her beautiful Voice. Cried a lot when she passed. Such a special Soul. Gave us so much!
Beautiful, simply beautiful I am so glad that her brother is still watching over her because she deserved it I love her music and her style she was an awesome lady! 💕🎙️💕
It is not Christmas for me without listening to Karen. Such a gift she had.
My feelings exactly... when greeting cards are sent...I still miss her.
Karen's silky voice will never be forgotten. May she RIP.

Sameoldfitup, great question 👍👍👍
CARPENTERS plain & simple were GIFTED & ORDAINED by God to impact a Nation & Society at a time of Dark Evil Turmoil dividing America > CARPENTERS Shot Up like a METEOR by God's Hand (15 Mega Hits & 20+M Sales in just 1st 4 yrs.) still a Record today 2021 & they needed to Recognize that Divine Gift & God's Agenda & Seek God's Presence to GUIDE them > Not HOLLYWOOD guiding them. I know > because I was in Hollywood BIG TIME (Music / TV & Feature Film at all the Major Studios) since 1979 & now started our own Prod. Co. > AS GOD LEADS my Wife & I > thus Personal INTIMACY with GOD in an Evil World is CRITICAL! We are IN the "End Times" of Biblical Prophecy > we have Years left > NOT DECADES!
Alone..
@@theresalee4844 I dont know...
Karen Carpenter's tomb continues to read the same as her original tomb in Cypress California. "A star on Earth, a star in heaven"
She was beautiful, she was very highly mannered, she seemed shy to me. Also tremendously determined and seemed to be very exacting in her performances. I don't know how her illness developed but her loss made me so sad, even today... this is why I am here. 😢
She passed from heart failure due to anorexia, which was not discussed in those days.
As I have mentioned before, everywhere I go, in a shop or bus station, passing houses, you hear her wonderful voice, her song is just so beautiful it's clear and rings like a bell and when you're feeling not so good her song makes you feel well (part of a poem dedicated to her)
Nicely said, Alison!
Beautiful comment.I can still hear Karen's voice singing one of their songs in a store all these years later and I still stop in my tracks and listen.When I feel under the weather her voice comforts me.Such a gift we were given.Listening since day one.Miss you Karen!
Never forgot, getting off from work, going to my Parent's, & my late Mother told me that Karen had passed ( she knew I was a fan). Even turned on the tv & heard on the news..
It’s amazing how we never forget certain moments in time like this. Thanks for sharing with us ndog 👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel Thank you for the treasured memory..
To me,she is and always will be that beautiful Angel with a beautiful voice. Really sad, she's gone,but not forgotten. God bless you Karen.
Best female singer of my generation still missed greatly today
I agree!
i loved karen carpenter. her voice was gorgeous.
God Bless Karen Carpenter and Ronald Goldman. Thanks for a very tasteful video. I didn't know about this cemetery.
@@acerothstein4755 Karen Carpenter & Ronald Goldman! HOW ABOUT THAT?
Thanks for the video for all of us who still love and miss Karen! I no longer live in So Cal and probably will never be able to visit the site. 😓❤️
Looks so blessfull their
The warm sun light wind
Wish I could visit! Thanks for the video! 💚
Still so sad today.....
I was a teenager as they climbed the charts. Interestingly enough I have the same vocal range as Karen’s. I actually worked at sounding like her . I played piano and was active in vocal music until I graduated. Later I just sang to my babies and in our Folk Group that sang Mass one Sunday a month. My youngest daughter had a fantastic voice and went All State her sr year , competed all over the state, show choir, ensembles you name it. She is much better than j ever dreamed.
My son served 4 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and struggled with PTSD and he even asked me to sing to him over the phone at a very stressful point. I owe that moment of trying to comfort my child to Karen and Richard.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Steve, very nice to see where Karen Carpenter is resting...absolutely love her music which will always be immortal forever and ever!
I love "Top of the world". This song brought me here. Love the carpenters from Kenya. May she rest in peace.
Karen Carpenter her voice was like liquid gold she can sing beautiful love songs God bless her
Please note: she was a very decent drummer, too. A SINGING drummer, also. Many do both but not at once as a lead.
Absolutely. She was amazing!
Phil collins was a drummer and lead vocalist too!!!
@@LB-pg3no The point is there are not many good ones,
I think.
She was a great drummer.
She was moved off the drums not because she couldn't sing and play at the same time, but to make her the focus of their live show.
Thank you so much for for taking the time to show Karen's memorial. Very sad.
She was the best 😢
Loved The Carpenters since 1970 myself. Probably the most talented brother /sister act of all time.
i agree!
As an animal lover, my favorite Carpenters song was a side B on a 45 called Bless the Beasts & The Children. It is still heartwrenching that she starved herself to death. Beautiful video, Steve. You have a very kind demeanor. Thank you.
I love that one too but you don't see it listed very often, it's from the film with the same name. I cannot seem to find the full movie
@@callanbiehn2992 I'll start looking for it, too! Thank you for the reminder!☘🧜♀️
Yes, a lovely song. If Karen is singing it, I love it. Karen an Richard are so gifted.
@@callanbiehn2992 I saw that film and it was "disturbing".
@@frankdenardo8684 I could never find the synopsis on it, I know it was something or based around kids, but didn't know the story. It was why I was intrigued to see it. Hence I understand the song now.
Love Karen Carpenter 💖 she had such a beautiful voice. A voice of an Angel and She left us far to soon.
Karen was always and still is an angel that was sent by God to entertain the world with her wonderful voice. RIP Karen.
Uma criança.sempre ouvia suas música na minha adolescência.hoje sou crente.mas muitas vezes me pego.cantorolando Yestedei
Conta saudades de bons cantores como á Karen é os BeeGees.espero que suas almas .tenham encontrado á paz é a felicidade que eles não tiveram aqui na terra. 😱😭😱😭😱❤️😱😭❤️
Shrek fans heard her voice in Shrek Forever After the orgre terrorizes civilians in the alternate universe.
I’ve always loved the Carpenters. Karen had such a clear voice with a haunting quality (no pun intended), and I get chills every time I hear “Yesterday Once More.” Thanks for this look at the resting place of this great talent.
thanks for the tribute.so young so talented and loved. i loved the carpenters.
Thanks, Karen, me too!
I've lived in Downey since 1975. The Carpenters were our most famous residents. I remember her church service very well. Dionne Warwick, among others, attended.
i visited downey and their former home and school in a separate vlog on this channel. thanks for sharing, jas!
I absolutely loved Karen's voice & I've been a fan for years ever since I heard her sing "We've only just begun..." She helped me develop my voice (I learned how to harmonize by singing along) although I don't sing professionally. I was so sad when I heard what happened and how she suffered in her private life. I still love & miss her ... God bless her always !!!!
I love her she reminds me of when my mom was alive and people were kinder
I agree. People seem to get meaner every year!
In a way Karen reminds me of my mom too. Something in the eyes. She was a big fan of Karen's as well. Now my mom is in heaven hopefully singing with Karen. RiP Karen. RIP to my mom
Amen! Happy 2022!
@@kerriethompson2073what a lovely comment. Karen Carpenter has always brought out the best in people. Her fans are like a big family. I think she would be really proud of that.
I loved the carpenters i grew up with them...real hearbreak about karen RIP ANGEL
I was SO in love with Karen Carpenter! She had the most perfectly pitched and beautiful voice in history. I was stunned by the news of her death. I grieved for her because she died so young. I didn't know about her history with weight issues until years later. I still miss her beautiful voice. Test in peace beautiful princess!
The Carpenters were the first group I loved, many thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing!
Karen Carpenter lives rent free in my heart forever. Listening to her is an emotional experience.
That really is a beautiful cemetery. The water makes it stand out. And yes I'm a Carpenters fan for sure.
What a beautiful cemetery. Very serene and peaceful seeming.
What a beautiful video, Steve. Thank you so much, and I was there via the Carpenter 2017 Tour back in March. I flew in on her birthday, March 2nd, and then we toured on the 3rd and 4th, and we were there on that Saturday, the 4th. And you're right, when we got there we could hardly believe the amount of beautiful flowers and Mickey and Minnie Mouse's and angels and cards and pictures and fan letters and on and on and on, with so many who love her still stopping by and visiting her gravesite. Her birthday was March 2nd, so some were wishing her a Happy Birthday as well, but I have seen though through other videos from other fans that it doesn't seem to matter what day you go, there's going to be a lot of flowers and gifts to the one who gave us all such a beautiful gift, herself. We love you, Karen, and thank you so much, Steve. Watching your video made me cry. I still miss her so much. I think I'll go put a record on now. Blessings to you, Steve. And it truly is a beautiful video of the area. It's one of most beautiful cemeteries I've ever seen, just beautiful, and the family Mausoleum is up on a hill. Also, interesting enough, Harry Nilsson was one of her favorite singers and now they are both laid to rest so close in proximity to each other. Maybe they're singing some duets now where they are. I think she would have loved that, and he, too.
Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your experience. I didn't know that Harry Nilsson was one of her favorite singers. Wow, being in the same cemetery must have been meant to be!
@Mikey Mike if you can't say anything nice, dont say it all. Have some respect.
she had the most beautiful voice rip Karen from a fan in england
To live in the hearts we leave behind, is truly not to die. Karen will never die.....
Growing up for I never had a chance to hear much of The Carpenters music.but I really love to hear Karen Carpenter sing.Karen has one of the sweetest and gifted voices ever.
I love you Karen voice of an angel no one can ever replace karen carpenter,Godbless you Karen.RIP
There have never been a voice like Karen. I loved her then and love her now. RIP Karen
I have not heard nor read one single negative comment about Karen’s voice. Her voice was unquestionably the most beautiful and angelic voices ever known. It is so sad she left this earth so soon but now she is an angel in heaven.
February 4th, 2019. It's been officially 36 years since Karen Carpenter had died. Rest in peace, Karen. We all miss you and are still listening to y'alls music.
So hard to believe. Thanks, Fernando.
@@TheGraveyardChannel No problem.
Seems like yesterday!
In 1970 I was about 13 years old..I remember hearing her singing on the radio...I remember how unusual it sounded...like heaven.
One of the most beautiful voices ever,I always loved the carpenter's .She will always be loved and missed another great video
Thanks for sharing! Will be visiting soon. We all miss her terribly. She left us too soon.
I still miss her and her beautiful voice. I will never, ever forget her. ♥️
My college roommates always laughed at how much I loved this "square chick", but, I didn't care. She was a beautiful singer and now she's providing heaven with a lovely voice. I really miss her! :-)
they probably secretly loved her singing, too :-) thanks for sharing, david!
Karen Carpenter did have a beautiful voice! I love her music! Thank You Steve for this great video!
When I was kid in the 1980's I heard about her passing away at the age of thirty two years old and she will be sadly missed by all of her friends and family and she was wonderful in my opinion and her brother Richard is still around
Thank you for posting this video for all her fans who can't make it to her final resting place. Karen will never be forgotten.
She was before my time but I always love learning about past celebrities. She had a great voice.
Music they did is timeless.
I'm a huge Carpenters fan, Steve, and you've done a truly commendable job with this video.
Thanks for the comment!
I so LOVE Karen Carpenter's Christmas Special and her song, "Close to you"💛💛 I was a Kid when Karen Carpenter passed and it is profoundly sad. However, I so LOVE where she is buried and it is so sweet of fans to leave gifts and cards for her. I would visit her grave, but I live 3,000 miles away and I have no way of getting there. Also, I was wondering, I noticed someone left her a Mickey and Minnie Mouse, I know that Karen Carpenter loved Children and I just saw a video of Karen Carpenter with her brother singing in Disneyland! 💖💖💖 Thank you for sharing Karen Carpenter's Family Mausoleum💛💛💛💛 She was a sweet soul with a lovely voice💛💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏!!
Thanks for the this. Still love her music.
No one has ever come close to KC, she was unique, and I think its only when people brave enough to perform one of The Carpenters tracks its something then, and There, they realise how Beauitiful and flawless she was.... GOD BLESS KC,,,, Rip,,,, xxx
Karen was my favorite female vocalist. The beauty and uniqueness of her voice is unmatched. Such a talent.
Watched a documentary about her last night on PBS and went looking for some of her videos Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for your comment.
That was a lovely, peaceful visit with a young lady who left us way too soon. Even now, when my family and I start playing holiday music in December, Karen and Richard's Christmas albums are among our favorites. Karen's pure and soaring voice is just marvelous. Thanks for sharing her resting place with us.
I'd also like to compliment that I appreciate the very respectful tone that you employ when speaking of these folks who have passed. Not everyone is thoughtful that way.
Thank you Joyce!
I have always thought it so sad that she died so young. She was a very talented lady. There is no telling where her career could have gone.
Wow! Thanks so much for putting This up on Karen /the Carpenters.
I just recently discovered your TH-cam channel this year and like some of the videos you share Steve,most especially one
I enjoyed was of " It's awonderful Life".That is a favorite and it's profound message of everyone's life having meaning and purpose, and a prayer was answered in George's favor. God has definitely got good plans for the human race and there is never anything in life that is hopeless.Thank God 🙏!
So tonight I was surprised and happy also because I happen to really enjoy Karen's voice and music 🎶and am a fan of their talents .I just saw it was your channel and recognized it.
I was a little girl when they were popular and singing but not until I got much older have I appreciated their music and interest in their lives.
Thanks for sharing 🙂 .
I am glad to know that Karen was moved. I went to her wake/visitation at Forestlawn the night before her funeral. I was a fan.
Wow, that must have been very special and memorable. Thanks for sharing that!
Here again on Karen's 40th Anniversary February 4 2023.
Fan since the start.I can't believe it's been 40 years.It really does not seem like it to me.Love You Karen! Really Miss You!
Thank You again for doing this and the great directions for anyone wanting to pay their respects to such a special person.
thank you for posting, yes I agree, Karen carpenter had the most beautiful velvet voice ever, when people were I was raised at was into hip hop, I was into the carpenters music, I was 13 when she died and now I am 56 and still listen to her music to this day, and Karen and the great minnie riperton will and could never be replace.. they are both in heaven and will always be God's golden angels
Thanks for the comment and I agree.
Nice respectful clip. Good camera work & commentary. No singer has come close to Karen after all these years.
I agree. She was one of a kind. Thanks for watching and commenting, bandp!
She had such a beautiful voice sad we lost her way too soon
Karen was an amazing talent whose life was cut short too soon.
Such a great loss. I miss her so much. I love Karen Carpenter!
I REMEMBER WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY SHE HAD SO MUCH TALENT AND HAD A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, SHE DIED A DAY AFTER MY 25TH BIRTHDAY IN 1983, I'M GLAD YOU FOUND HER BURIAL PLOT STEVE BECAUSE I ALWAYS WAS CURIOUS WHERE HER FINAL RESTING PLACE WAS, THANKS STEVE FOR GOING TO THAT CEMETERY AND SHOWING WHERE FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE LAID TO REST, AGAIN STEVE THANKS YOUR THE BEST AND I WATCH YOUR VIDEO'S ALL THE TIME, GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS AGAIN. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and commenting Joseph. I really appreciate that 😊👍
Karen Carpenter, the best female singing voice humanity have HAD ever...deserves the best resting place posible. She Was, is and forever Will be, a precious ángel. 4 of February since 1983 Will be a sacred day for humanity... WE miss you Karen.. But surely today you are in the top of The universe having All the love WE could not give you While you Was alive as a glorious woman. With your songs you make our lives a great worderfull experience, Just to hear and see you singing. Thanks Karen. REST IN PEACE. WE WILL LOVE YOU PERPETUALLY. :)
Karen never knew her voice was priceless....she never wanted to sing. All she wanted to be a drummer. She was excellent at both. Right now if she was still living she would be 69....Rest in Peace Karen.
Great job Steve. I also love her voice. She was one of the best with such a future ahead of her.
She had one of the best voices I ever heard, plus it has the power to get me in a good mood. RIP dear Karen Carpenter.
What a voice she had, and what great music we sadly missed with her passing. Playing their music takes me back to my teen years. So sad she could not work out her issues.
Those issues were swept under the carpet in those days.
A few years ago I saw the video of Close to you. I simply loved it and was very moved by Karen's simplicity.
I have a couple of her 45’s still. I have them put away. One is Close to you. I loved her warm voice. It was so rich and sweet. Thank for sharing Steve.
I have an alto voice & Karen Carpenter is one of the few people I can sing along with because she sang in a lower key. I just love the Carpenters. Karen had such a gorgeous voice & their harmonies were always so beautiful. Thanks for another great video Steve!
You always visit the great stars of our country! Thanks for keeping those who have left us voices alive!!!!
Thanks Christopher 😊👍
Thank you for this video ! My Mom and I have been huge fans since the beginning. We still listen to all her songs. It’s still shocking and hard to believe she is gone. I wish things and family could have been different for her. Yes I still blame it on , well , let’s not say names. It’s painfully obvious even without naming them. They weren’t there for her supporting her for a healthy happy her. She’s in God’s hands now. She has heavenly peace now. I’m thankful for that part.
thanks for sharing with us, cjp!
Really cool 👍, still a golden angel voice she had. Not too many people would sound like her.
I'm an avid Karen Carpenter fan & it was so sad to lose her at such a young age of 32. Her voice lives on till this day... I just wish she was still here to share her talent with the world & I hope she knows how very loved she still is by all her fans. May she rest in peace & God Bless her soul.
Im from Ohio, since I was in the area for a wedding. I had to make a trip to pay my respects. This place is amazingly beautiful,peaceful. I did not want to leave. So happy I was there with such greatness. I Love Karen!!
Thank you for sharing this. I also became a fan in 1970 and continue to listen to their beautiful music.
I was a little boy when Karen passed away on my birthday. I'm still sad about it and I go visit her a couple times a year. I usually bring a bottle of Coke for her and one for me and I sit there and I write her a note and leave it for her. I usually include a paragraph for Richard just in case they collect things and give it to the family. it's a very peaceful place in your videos excellent. I was expecting to be sad but as I meditated there the first time I felt comfort and I could have sworn, I imagined her anyway, kicking over the hedges saying "you came to see me? " and I walked away feeling kind of silly for expecting to be upset and expecting to cry and expecting to feel this sense of loneliness and bitterness. I got the impression that she was, very much, resting in peace. sometimes we're so immersed in her lyrics, which she didn't always write, that we assume her disposition was loneliness and sadness and we forget that she was a hugely successful and powerful woman in show business who spoke Japanese and performed at the White House and was married and one hell of a dangerous drummer with access to every muscle car under the sun, who, for better and worse, plausibly, and allegedly, was surrounded by her family constantly. and she also had access to some incredibly powerful and insanely friendly monsters in music like John Bonham and Gene Simmons. and everyone else you can imagine. she truly was on top of the world and now she's on top of that Hill and I still feel so sorry for Richard and his family for everything that they missed out on almost as much as I feel sorry for myself for losing my "girlfriend" on my 9th birthday.
see you soon Karen. ♥️ and thank you to the keepers of the cemetery because it's really is a beautiful serene welcoming place of rest where the scenery and the weather and the location allow these heroes from all walks of life speak through their headstones and their mausoleums. and I also think it's pretty fucking cool that she's a stone's throw away from guitar center. I'm just saying...
Beautiful, just like her voice. May she rest in peace. The originality and sorrow in her voice was coming from her heart, who knew she was suffering the way she was? Such natural talent and a very tragic story.
Beautiful resting place for karen 💖I grew up listening to their songs playing on the radio. A lovely voice, such a shame she passed way before her time😔
I loved her and saw her perform live when I was 14.
i'm envious :-) how lucky you were. thanks for sharing this with us, peg!
Such a soulful wonderful voice. Sad that she left us way too early. Thanks so much for sharing her grave site.
Thanks for watching.
