Bonnie & Clyde in Dallas
They wanted one grave. Dallas gave them three pins — a demolished station in West Dallas, Clyde in Oak Cliff, Bonnie across town at Crown Hill.
Read it straight
Crime history. Not a celebration.
Clyde Barrow's father Henry ran a filling station and family home at 1221 Singleton Boulevard (once Eagle Ford Road) in West Dallas. While Bonnie and Clyde were on the run, the station was the family's foothold — and later a target of fires and violence. After a fight to landmark it, the structure was demolished in 2022. The pin marks where it stood. Pair with Clyde's grave at Western Heights and Bonnie's at Crown Hill. This is crime history, not celebration.
Clyde Chestnut Barrow is buried at Western Heights Cemetery under crape myrtles, near brother Buck. After the May 23, 1934 ambush in Louisiana, his funeral in Dallas drew thousands. Fans still leave flowers and coins. The main gate is often locked; locals point to steps where the fence ends on the east side. Be respectful — this is a working historic cemetery, not a theme park.
Bonnie Elizabeth Parker wanted to be buried with Clyde. The Parker family said no. She was first buried at Fishtrap Cemetery, then moved in 1945 to Crown Hill Memorial Park. Her marker sits near a hedge line off the Webb Chapel entrance. The couple's myth lives in movies; their bodies lie on opposite sides of Dallas.
