Burt Reynolds Laid To Rest More Than 2 Years After His Death

One of Florida's most famous residents who died two years ago has reached his final resting place.

The cremated remains of Burt Reynolds were placed in a grave at a cemetery in Hollywood-California Thursday.

On the grave, a fan placed a toy Trans-Am, the car Reynolds drove in the "Smokey and the Bandit" films. That came after relatives held a virtual private ceremony on Zoom.

The star, who played college football at FSU, spent most of his life in Palm Beach County. He died in the town of Jupiter in September of 2018, at the age of 82.

It's unknown as to why it took two and a half years for Reynolds' remains to be buried. His niece settled the estate's legal affairs in December.

Burt is in good company at the Hollywood Forever cemetery, buried near people like Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, Johnny Ramone and rock band Soundgarden's Chris Cornell.
