NOTE: According to her immediate family, Donna Crim requested her ashes to buried at the top end of her brother Ronnie's grave (this is verifiable thru Southland Memorial Gardens) because of the location of her ashes, Southland Memorial Gardens cannot allow a grave-marker to be placed. With this being said, there will never be one, so a request to have one will never be filled.
