I understand that his ashes were reinterred in November 1999 in Forest Lawn... he is definitely buried there, his grave and a plaque are in the park. Richard3120 (talk) 01:59, 26 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Why would they bother to put a memorial on the other side of the world if he wasn't buried there? Why not put memorials to all famous actors and rock stars? It's quite possible that his ashes were separated and some of them scattered in Australia and the rest buried in California - this frequently happens, that ashes are scattered in different locations.

Just reading a bit more about it... apparently his ashes were divided into three parts, one third for his father, one third for his mother, and one third for his partner Paula Yates. His father's portion are the ashes that were scattered in Australia; his mother's portion are the ashes buried in Forest Lawn. Richard3120 (talk) 15:32, 26 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
You have a point though, this should be made clearer in the article. But there doesn't seem to be much in the way of reliable sources about this – just personal blogs, and FindAGrave.com, which is not considered a reliable source for use on Wikipedia.
