Cemetery Owner Says Anton Yelchin's Parents Visit His Grave Nearly Every Day

Hollywood Forever Cemetery co-owner shares how Anton Yelchin's parents honor him daily with visits to his grave and an elaborate memorial statue

“I’ve never encountered a vigil like theirs,” Tyler Cassity, who co-owns the Hollywood Forever Cemetery alongside Yogu Kanthiah, told Variety of the late actor’s parents in an interview published on Friday, June 13.
