Same cemetery (Lakewood Cemetery) has Herbert Humphrey and George Mikan (and the elusive Showmen's Rest). [Mark, 05/19/2011]

Tiny Tim's Tomb

Born Herbert Buckingham Khaury to a Lebanese father and a Jewish mother, Tiny Tim became famous for his ukulele playing and falsetto-voiced singing.

Tiny Tim lived in Minnesota during the final years of his life. He died on November 30th 1996 after suffering a heart attack on stage at The Woman's Club of Minneapolis. He was singing "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" when he went into cardiac arrest.

Tiny Tim's 1969 wedding on the Johnny Carson Show was the most watched television event up to that time. Herbert "Tiny Tim" Khaury's tomb can be found at the Lakewood Cemetery Mausoleum in Minneapolis, MN. The eccentric entertainer was buried with a ukulele in his hand and a tulip.

[RA: A tireless performer. We had the pleasure of seeing Tiny Tim do a 100-song medley at a NJ Mall with Miss Vicky, an outdoor concert attended by dozens.]
