John DeLorean's Grave

I go to Detroit several times a year for business and I blocked off enough time on my recent trip to visit the White Chapel Cemetery in Troy, MI. This is where John Z. DeLorean is buried. I found plenty of pictures of his headstone on the internet, but I had a very hard time finding information on where to find his grave. This cemetery is massive!

The cemetery is located at 621 W Long Lake Rd, Troy, MI 48098. The cemetery offices were closed as I arrived late in the afternoon, but I knew that his grave was located in section G2. I was able to find that info online. After wandering around and looking for about 15 minutes, I stumbled upon his headstone and I was able to pay my respects.

 To make it easy for others to find it in the future, I have a couple of Google Map screenshots of where it is. First, I have highlighted the section of the cemetery that his grave is located in:


Zoomed in on only that section, the arrow points to what I recall to be his headstone:


I also took a panoramic picture of the surrounding area standing at his grave:


If you are in the Detroit area, hopefully this will help you quickly find his resting place. It's about a 45 minute drive from the Detroit airport to the cemetery.
