ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) – Conservative media icon Rush Limbaugh was laid to rest in a St. Louis cemetery.

Limbaugh, who was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in 1951, died at the age of 70 on Feb. 17, 2021 after a battle with lung cancer. Sources told News 4 he was laid to rest Wednesday at the Bellefontaine Cemetery at 4947 West Florissant Avenue in north St. Louis.

I would bet it's unmarked, but knowing his ego he'd want a massive grave marker

Some poor groundskeeper will have to pick it up.

Was watching the 2019 BBC version of A Christmas Carol. It was very dark (and goes more into the background of Scrooge and how he got that way). Anyway, there's a part in the movie where a young boy is pissing on Jacob Marley's grave. Later in the adaptation you find out Scrooge and Marley operated a shoddy coal mine and the boy's friend was killed in a mine collapse. So every year on the anniversary of his friend's death he made the trip to piss on the grave of one of the people responsible for his friend's death. The camera cuts to inside the coffin just as the piss trickles in and starts dripping on Marley's face. He is awoken from his "eternal rest" and screams for God to do something to make this torment stop. I kind of hope something similar happens to that poor excuse of a human being.

The wait time should be just long enough for the "flavor" of the vegetable to be processed and ready for release.

Depending on crowd size (and wait times), I'm also considering adding an iced-tea dispenser, a coffee urn, and a beer tap. Just to keep things flowing...

Maybe he was 180 degrees different in his interactions with them or they just sucked up hoping to reap benefit from his fame and $$. No way of knowing, but it would certainly be hard for me to ignore his public persona and very real damage to society.

Did he have any kind of funeral, given COVID?

The only adverse thing I can say about St. Louis is that the summer weather is more oppressive than I can tolerate. So, if you are planning to "visit" Rush's grave, Spring or Autumn would be my choice.

The downtown market, the walk along the river -- I really like that place.
