Me and my wife were at a park, and some guy there told us that both Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee were buried in the adjacent cemetery. We were curious so we wondered around the tombstones for a half-hour, but couldn't find it. Then we spotted what appeared to be a tourist van, so we made our way over to the small gathering. Sure enough, there it was.
