Anna's Grave -- Killing the Cemetery

Talk about grave-stomping. TMZ has learned that the cemetery where Anna Nicole Smith was laid to rest a week ago, has been so overrun by gawking tourists that the grounds' caretakers have had to hire security guards and restrict access, allowing only locals.
Anna Nicole Smith

A source in the Bahamas tells TMZ that last weekend, just days after the burial, hordes of curious tourists -- many fresh off the cruise ships that dock in Nassau -- descended upon Lakeview Cemetery by the busload, where Anna Nicole was buried next to her son Daniel.

The situation has gotten so bad, sources say, that relatives of those buried near Anna Nicole's plot have complained loudly and bitterly that they haven't been able to mourn their loved ones in peace because of tourist and media infestation, which has prompted Lakeview to hire two private security guards.

Even before Anna Nicole's final resting place was determined by a Florida court, local taxicab companies were licking their collective lips in anticipation of the tourist interest in Lakeview. But now, the cemetery has disallowed any taxicabs from entering its gates. Says our source, "Anyone going to that cemetery isn't arriving in a cab."

17. to the first comment I see there are more people like Virgie and out for her money. People just need to get a life and leave Howard, Dannielynn and Larry alone and let them put this to rest.

19. Interesting story JML. I dunno how it could hold up though... you would have to look into how she hid the pregnacy and why she just left him there. PLus... if this guy has her kid someplace, why is he just co0mming forward for her money now when he could have been cashing big child support checks all along.....

24. I don't see these tourist being any different that those who post their "comments" on here. Admit it, every one of you would be out there tromping through the tombstones to get a pic of the grave.

25. C'mon they should be moved to the US where they were from anyhow...who is really going to stay in the Bahamas for a lifetime?? Larry needs to get his baby home with him! The way they drag it out is insane....

26. If true, and I am not saying it is, it would explain why she was so fat back then and he says he is coming forward because the checks stopped and he is looking out for his kid.
Personally, I hope it is not but if it is, it would make sense of her Will statements.

27. What did they expect..Howard sold the rights to the funeral..He showed the Bahamians that it was okay to profit off of Anna so why shouldn't the local make money as well..I tell ya they knew that her gravesite would be nothing but drama so why complain now

30. What did they expect? You can't always have the cake and get the icing too. They want the tourist dollars so they have to put up with the crud that goes along with it. Guess there's not much to see in the Bahamas and hangin on the beach gets a little old. (Wonder how many of them were bashing Virgie for wanting her taken back to Texas in the beginning).
