When Bonnie and Clyde were laid to rest in Dallas in 1934, their graves were just a couple miles apart. This tidbit is even more bittersweet when you consider Bonnie had said she wanted to be buried next to Clyde.
After their story came to a close in 1934, both were brought back to Dallas. Clyde was buried at Western Heights Cemetery, and at the time, the expectation was that Bonnie would be laid to rest in the plot beside him. But her mother, Emma, saw things differently. She refused to allow it and instead had Bonnie laid to rest at Fish Trap Cemetery, just 2 miles from Clyde.
But Bonnie didn’t remain there.
In 1945, after Emma passed, Bonnie was moved to Crown Hill Memorial Park to be next to her mother, placing her farther from Clyde than before.
Even now, decades later, members of both families have continued pushing to have them reunited, trying to honor Bonnie's last wishes to be next to Clyde for eternity.
