According to Mental Floss, no one was invited to Lizzie’s funeral; her sister, Emma, died a few days later (via New England Today). The Herald News reports that all of her family members, including her slain father and stepmother and her sister, are buried in the 100-acre Oak Grove Cemetery, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Lizzie’s biological mother, Sarah, is buried next to them (per Find a Grave). The family plot (seen above) dates back to 1855.

Lizzie’s grave is immensely popular and widely visited; it’s as close as anyone can get to the acquitted. To aid the curious, the cemetery painted white arrows to guide visitors to the Borden family plot. Not everyone visits to pay respects; in April, 2015, WBUR reported that the Borden grave was defaced with green and black paint.

The cemetery director, Tony Eaton, noted that this was not the first time this had occurred. However, he did blame “The Lizzie Borden Chronicles,” a Lifetime miniseries that had recently aired, for the vandalism. Besides graffiti, visitors often leave pennies and flowers on Lizzie’s grave.
