In Variety's new profile of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery — the legendary resting place for many industry titans in Los Angeles — co-owner Tyler Cassity revealed that Yelchin's parents, Irina and Viktor, visit the actor's grave nearly every day, nine years after his tragic death at 27.
"I’ve never encountered a vigil like theirs," Cassity told the outlet.
The cemetery co-owner also revealed that the Star Trek actor's parents chose Hollywood forever as Yelchin's final resting place due to the life-size bronze statue made in his likeness they wanted erected in his honor. According to Variety, such statues have a starting price at $95,000, and Yelchin's family was told other local memorial parks wouldn't allow the statue on their grounds.
