The Grave of Actor Ed Asner 

He also played Santa in the movie Elf with Will Ferrell

I liked Ed Asner... He and MTM were great together! Speaking of MTM she is buried at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Fairfield CT. My hometown. Her grave is very beautiful and tasteful... it's landscaped 4 times a year for every season. Lamont, if you should come back this way, another excellent Cemetery nearby is Mountain Grove. It's located on the Fairfield/Bridgeport line and has many famous celebrities and historical figures buried there... P.T. Barnum for one and some of his circus people. It's a beautiful place!

You mentioned "so odd that a famous Hollywood actor is buried of all places in this....cemetery...just in the middle of a pretty odd neighborhood in Kansas City....this is really an industrial area." Sometimes a cemetery exist many years, and well before the area it is in is developed around it. Near Dallas where you just left, civil war veteran Isaac Tompkins asked his wife to bury him under a lone oak tree that sat on a bluff in Irving Texas. He died in the late 1800s. The cemetery was on the Tompkins ranch with peaceful meadows and solitude, you know, where the deer and the antelope roam...that sort of thing. After he died the rest of the family were interred in this cemetery over the decades. Irving, Texas and the surrounding areas around Dallas was growing over the years since Isaac died. So much so that the Tompkins family started selling their farm land. They eventually sold all their land. They sold their land on the condition that the cemetery NEVER be moved. And so it became history. The area around the cemetery now includes DFW airport as well as numerous shopping centers. The cemetery has made the news over the years as one of the strangest places in Texas for a graveyard. If you are driving (from DFW airport) east on Highway 183 and you need gas or a quick burger (Whataburger) then you may take the Valley View exit. That grassy area BETWEEN the highway and the exit ramp is where the graves are! Who really notices this area? If you want to visit the grave I guess you have to park at the Whataburger across the street and dart across fast moving traffic on the ramp and hope you don't hit by a car. Please note that if you get killed by a car, you can't stay there and be buried already....it is a Tompkin family only cemetery. 😬 I suspect (don't know) the Asner family final resting place was far different a time ago than it is now.

Ed Asner and loved his movie called UP. And mary Tyler Moore and Lou Grant. RIP ED. Thanks for sharing his story.❤

Ed Asner, along with the rest of the MTM cast, were a huge part of my life when I was a kid. The Mary Tylor Moore show on Saturday night at 9 pm was the highlight of my week (followed by the Bob Newhart Show). It's impossible for young people today to understand how different TV was back then, and how these commercial, network shows we such a major part of all of our lives.

I remember him from the MTM show. He was a great and funny actor. Good commentary and content.

Nice tribute to Ed. Thanks Lamont❤

Thanks for remembering Mr.Ed Asner great actor may he rest in peace!

Ed Asner was a great actor. Rest In Peace

When all is said and done, you want to go home. RIP Mr Asner.

Met Ed Asner when he was helping Nancy Kulp when she ran for office in Central PA. I was absolutely star struck. Ed said "Put er there teach." and he shook my hand. When I left, Ed was wearing a stocking cap and drinking wine.

I will always remember Ed Asner as J. Jonah in the 90's Spiderman cartoon series and as Carl Fredrickson from Up.

I enjoyed this video. Thank Lamont 👏🏻👩🏻‍🏫🥰‼️ I used to watch The Mary Tyler Moore Show all the time. I used to watch The Conan O’Brien Show too.

Ed Was In Hawaii 5..0. The Past And Recent. Awesome Actor.Richard.

He was what you call now a Progressive. He cared for those who needed help the most. Terrific actor. RIP Edward. He entertained us alot! 🤣 😂

The MTM show was very good imo. Highly recommend. R.I.P. to Ed Asner ❤🙏🏾🕊

such a small humble headstone RIP Edward Asner and his family

MTM was hilarious. I also loved him as the old man in Up. Thanks for all the great shows Mr Asner!

He was very talented for sure

I truly hate to be envious, but I would love to do what you do. Love your job, man. Keep it up

He played Johnny Lawrence's step father in Cobra Kai

One of the graves had the name Abramson Frankenstein. That's an impressive name. I love Ed Asner. I remember him from a lot of different things. He was great on all the Fox animated shows. Cleveland Show, Bob's Burgers etc... Very funny.

One of the GOATs. R.I.P.

Excellent commentary, learned alot about him I didn't know, RIP Ed Asner ❤ I saw the Outer Limits he acted in. A great versatile actor .

He was a great actor! Mary Tyler Moore show was a great show. Rest in peace Ed, fly with the angels 😇

Speaking of kids shooting each other. I moved from N.Y. to Mississippi then to Alabama. And I have never heard of so many kids killing each other or just the number of shootings that are in the city of Birmingham, Alabama and the surrounding area. There is at least one news story on TV just about every day of a murder or shooting. And some are little kids being killed from shots being fired at their homes. It’s crazy!

Good afternoon watching from Guyana Lamont magnificent job o boy they die so long ago he was a great actor o boy beautiful job stay bless ❤

Good ol ed Asner a man of many years of 😂

RIP to a very talented actor.

When that TV show, "The Untouchables," came on TV, all us kids that lived in the country started calling that little house in the backyard, "The Unflushables"!

He's An Awesome Actor!

I loved him on the Mary Tyler Moore Show and his spin off show

Hopefully you will do the story on the 2 18 year old people, short or long you keep us captivated 😊

One of the nearby graves says 'Frankenstein'.

Best person to play the role of Santa Clause. My opinion anyway, great episode brother.

Ed Asner made his film debut in 1962, in the Elvis Presley movie Kid Galahad and again with the king in 'Change of Habit'. Asner is best known for his character Lou Grant, who was first introduced on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1970. In 1977, after the series, Asner's character was given his own show, Lou Grant (1977-82). Ed Asner and Elvis Presley, 'Change Of Habit' 1969. Mary Tyler Moore also starred in the movie When asked what was Elvis Presley like to work with, Asners answer was; He was very nice to work with. I worked with him twice. I worked with him on 'Kid Galahad', and I worked with him on 'Change of Habit'. In 'Kid Galahad', his hands were all bandaged and broken up because he was in his karate stage at that time, breaking bricks. But he was a delightful young man to be around, never offensive, always seemed to work hard. Then in 'Change of Habit', he was a different young man at that point and seeming to be concentrating very seriously on being an actor.

Ed Asher was a very good actor indeed. Rest in peace to him❤

I remember weekend visits seeing my daddy all these shows we’d watch, Andy Griffith, Ed the talking horse etc. My daddy has passed on now 12.28.1958 - 07.25.2022 but all these memories just shows I had an awesome childhood and how I miss my wonderful daddy!

Loved him in UP. He was that character. We shared the same birthday (not year, mind ya lol).

Great actor! Great video in memory of Ed Asner. May he Rest in Peace 🙏🏽🙏🏽

LOVED HIM IN THE ELVIS MOVIE CHANGE OF HABIT HE PLAYED THE COP IN CHARGE AT THE GROCERY STORE SIT IN SCENE.....

Rip Ed asner we will miss you 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

A big, big life, and now he lies in a quiet, quiet cemetery. Thank you for the interesting piece of information concerning Jewish cemeteries.

He was so great on the MTM show. The “You got spunk” scene from the very first episode can be found here on YT.

Ed also played the Stepfather of Johnny Lawrence in the Cobra Kai series in the first season when it was on RU-vid Red in 2018. RIP

I did NOT know he was in Roots! Huh..🧐 ya learn something new everyday around here. R.I.P. Ed..🕊

Ed Asner was amazing actor-both on screen and behind the mic. I remember his role on “Our Friend Martin” when voiced the principal in the alternate timeline. He also had roles in CSI: NY (where he portrayed a sympathizer designed as a WWII hero called Abraham Klein) and Criminal Minds (where he played Roy Brooks, Aaron Hotcher’s father-in-law). But to me, his best role was Carl Frederickson on UP! A change of direction, because he played a character that was grumpy and recluse at the beginning , but turned into a caring and outgoing at the end.

Good looking man when he was young, he played Mary's boss in the show

Ed was a great actor. Lamont, if you haven't seen an episode of MTM show try the first episode. Just in case you happen to like it. ❤ there were so many great actors on MTM show. Thank you for a great video.

I loved Ed Asner and Tim Conway. RIP Gents❤

Lots of episodes of MTM on here 😊

Never knew that about Jewish cemeteries...Thank Lamont...RIP Mr Asner

This is so good Lamont I used to watch Mary Taylor Moore on Tv and ed asner was funny to watch he had talent so sad when he died Rip to him and family 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Rest In Peace Ed

One of my favorite Ed Asner voiceover roles was as “Granny Goodness” in the justice league animated series. Granny was was one of Darkseid’s minions.

Stop and gaze, ye passerby As you are now, so once was I As I am now, so you shall be Prepare yourself to follow me. Classic old New England epitaph

Great show

Dang, him and his whole family lived long lives!

That sounds about right I heard that that the reason they canceled Hercules was because he was a Christian can you believe that of all the reasons to give for canceling a show you take Care and God bless

Whoever is in charge of that cemetery must be OCD. Look how perfect it is!

Rip to Mr Asner. Loved him on MTM. Another video that is well done. Lamont

RIP 🪦 🕊️

R.I.P Es Asner great actor ❤

Hello Lamont 😊 REST IN PEACE To Ed Asner🕊🙏🕊

My introduction to Ed Asner was Officer Cosgrove on Freakazoid

Back in the day, with the Mary Tyler show was famous, My boss of 27 years looked identical to him down to his cigar. I once called him, Ed accidentally, and he turned around and left. Obviously, he had been told that many times L O L.

The first time I saw Ed Asner in a movie was the very first dcom, (Disney Channel original movie) was called a friendship in Vienna. VERY good movie BTW, the second time was, of course, the Pixar movie Up. & true fact, all of his grandkids are autistic, like me. I'm not saying that to be mean, because I also have autism, & he also did a lot for the autistic community. RIP to the great Ed Asner.

I watched some of his shows especially Mary Tyler Moore.

And for younger audiences the voice of Carl in "Up"

I loved Ed Asner. He was a grey actor.

ed asner great actor. great channel here. you alright lamont.

Really liked him in movies 🙏🙏

Ed Asner was great, RIP, Art Carney is in a very small cemetery, off of a side road in Old Saybrook, CT. I was surprised when I saw his grave.

Ed Asher was a good actor, that’s it. He believed in socialism. God Bless America.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

WOW , that's a crowded cemetery . RIP Ed.

Ed Asner was a hard line Liberal Hollywood Democrat. He starred in the movie Eldorado with John Wayne. It is my understanding that John Wayne and Ed Asner did not get along with each other at all. Ed Asner was an in your face liberal Democrat. John Wayne was a conservative republican. Ed Asner started a lot of arguments with John Wayne about politics on the Eldorado movie set. The arguments got so bad that actor Robert Mitchum had to step in between those two to break up the arguments that Ed Asner started with John Wayne.

I remember the Lou Grant series as a serious show. Guess that never happen, a comedy character who crosses over as the same person in a drama.

He voiced Carl Fredrickson in the movie Up =)

He also played a bad guy in "El Dorado" with John Wayne, James Caan, and Robert Mitchum. He also played a bad guy on both Hawaii 5-0s. He played his original roll from the first Hawaii 5-0 and reprised the role in the new Hawaii 5-0.

I was at Ed Asner’s gravesite yesterday in Kansas City.

RIP Asner family

Joshua 4:7 at me on grave 🙏

Ed Asner was black listed for his opinions. It was a McCarthy accusation.

I remember seeing him in JFK as Guy Bannister.

RIP Edward Asner. Lol, was a broadcast jour major. The "opinionated person" made me😂. Soo true.😉

Ciaran hinds buried at green wood cemetery in Brooklyn New York

They are near Abraham Frankenstein 😊

What in the actual hell is a guy with that kinda money doing buried in a damn dump sight like that? Wow that cemetery is a wreck

He also voiced Ed Wuncler on the Boondocks

He was great in "Maid in Manhatten"

Just wanted to make sure he was still there. Never forget Danny Faulkner!

Younger generation knows him as Ed Wuncler Sr. from The Boondocks

I'm telling you now you're going to end up settling in St Louis.

Excellent video buddy
