Wyatt Earp Gravesite

Hills of Eternity Memorial Park
DIRECTIONS TO WYATT EARP

Wyatt Earp met Josephine Marcus in San Francisco. They got married in 1892 according to Josephine’s memoir but no marriage public records were found.

After his death, Josephine had Earp’s body cremated secretly and his remains buried at her family plot at the Hills of Eternity Memorial Park.

The first marble headstone was stolen. The recovered headstone is now on display in the Colma Historical museum.

Earp’s grave is the most visited place in Colma, California.

1. Drive slowly up Main Road, counting the sidewalks as you go. (Some are wider than others)
2. Park on Main Road at the 6^th sidewalk. There is a family mausoleum with the name C. MEYER on it.
3. Follow the sidewalk past the first intersecting sidewalk and just before you arrive at the end of the second raised curb, step up into the section to the left.
4. Walk straight back to the third row.  Look for a marker with the Wyatt Earp and Josephine Earp on it.

Any Marcus graves near there are Josephine’s parents.
