Karen Carpenter's Grave Is Now Located In Westlake Village, California 

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.

Karen Carpenter and Ann Murray, the two most soothing voices of the 1970s.

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.

I'm a 16 year old boy and I'm a huge Carpenters fan. I will always love them and thank you for this!

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.

I'm a 18 years old girl from indonesia. I love so much karen and the carpenters

“I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be, and feel alone.”

It is not Christmas for me without listening to Karen. Such a gift she had.

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.

Thank you for posting this video. There are so many of us that still love The Carpenters and miss Karen so much.

Karen's silky voice will never be forgotten. May she RIP.

Karen Carpenter's tomb continues to read the same as her original tomb in Cypress California. "A star on Earth, a star in heaven"

Best female singer of my generation still missed greatly today

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..

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! 💕🎙️💕

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. 😢

Still so sad today.....

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.

i loved karen carpenter. her voice was gorgeous.

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! :-)

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.

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)

Loved The Carpenters since 1970 myself. Probably the most talented brother /sister act of all time.

Karen Carpenter her voice was like liquid gold she can sing beautiful love songs God bless her

There have never been a voice like Karen. I loved her then and love her now. RIP Karen

Karen was always and still is an angel that was sent by God to entertain the world with her wonderful voice. RIP Karen.

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. 😓❤️

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.

Karen was an amazing talent whose life was cut short too soon.

Please note: she was a very decent drummer, too. A SINGING drummer, also. Many do both but not at once as a lead.

Thank you so much for for taking the time to show Karen's memorial. Very sad.

Love Karen Carpenter 💖 she had such a beautiful voice. A voice of an Angel and She left us far to soon.

I love her she reminds me of when my mom was alive and people were kinder

She was the best 😢

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.

I love "Top of the world". This song brought me here. Love the carpenters from Kenya. May she rest in peace.

God Bless Karen Carpenter and Ronald Goldman. Thanks for a very tasteful video. I didn't know about this cemetery.

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.

To live in the hearts we leave behind, is truly not to die. Karen will never die.....

Karen Carpenter lives rent free in my heart forever. Listening to her is an emotional experience.

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.

I loved the carpenters i grew up with them...real hearbreak about karen RIP ANGEL

thanks for the tribute.so young so talented and loved. i loved the carpenters.

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.

In 1970 I was about 13 years old..I remember hearing her singing on the radio...I remember how unusual it sounded...like heaven.

I still miss her and her beautiful voice. I will never, ever forget her. ♥️

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.

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!

she had the most beautiful voice rip Karen from a fan in england

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

I love you Karen voice of an angel no one can ever replace karen carpenter,Godbless you Karen.RIP

Looks so blessfull their The warm sun light wind Wish I could visit! Thanks for the video! 💚

She was before my time but I always love learning about past celebrities. She had a great voice.

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 !!!!

Thank you, Steve, very nice to see where Karen Carpenter is resting...absolutely love her music which will always be immortal forever and ever!

Music they did is timeless.

The Carpenters were the first group I loved, many thanks for posting!

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.

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.

Karen Carpenter did have a beautiful voice! I love her music! Thank You Steve for this great video!

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.

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💛💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏!!

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.

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.

Nice respectful clip. Good camera work & commentary. No singer has come close to Karen after all these years.

She had such a beautiful voice sad we lost her way too soon

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.

One of the most beautiful voices ever,I always loved the carpenter's .She will always be loved and missed another great video

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. 👍👍👍👍

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.

Karen Carpenter.. What a Voice !!

Wow! Thanks so much for putting This up on Karen /the Carpenters. I just recently discovered your RU-vid 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'm a huge Carpenters fan, Steve, and you've done a truly commendable job with this video.

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.

Such a great loss. I miss her so much. I love Karen Carpenter!

Thanks for the this. Still love her music.

Happy Birthday Karen!

Thanks for sharing! Will be visiting soon. We all miss her terribly. She left us too soon.

I loved her and saw her perform live when I was 14.

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.

You always visit the great stars of our country! Thanks for keeping those who have left us voices alive!!!!

One of my favorite singer of all time...

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.

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.

Their Christmas album was a regular part of our holidays growing up. Loved them.

she was a good singer, sad the way she died, she voice is amazing ,we love you karen,

Watched a documentary about her last night on PBS and went looking for some of her videos Thanks for posting this.

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.

Karen, to me, has a beautiful voice straight from Heaven...

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.

Great job Steve. I also love her voice. She was one of the best with such a future ahead of her.

Such a soulful wonderful voice. Sad that she left us way too early. Thanks so much for sharing her grave site.

I am 63 yrs old fan of the Late Karen Carpenter -gone much to soon, now is singing with the angels

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

Love Karen Carpenter’s voice, too.

I was born in 1959 I remember when close to you came out when I heard the most beautiful voice in the world Karen Carpenter you will always be loved I will see you in heaven one day I hope I get to meet you in person this time in the spirit the Spirit Carries On you were sent here to Earth to show us your incredible voice . And to know that you will always live in our hearts I miss your beautiful voice at least I have two recordings of your voice I don't have to have the album on the record or the CD because your voice I can still hear it in my head in my mind rest in peace dear angel absent from the body present with the Lord

It was 1972, and I begged my parents to take me to Tulsa to see the Carpenters in concert. They did. I was in 7th grade and that was my first concert. I remember Karen and Richard joking about how some people thought they were a married couple and didn't realize they were brother and sister. What good memories. Think I'll go put on one of my Carpenters CDs.
