Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery is an area of about 300 burials, located on N.W. 63rd Street, east of Coltrane. This cemetery has rolling land, is fairly treeless, and is well maintained. Just to the west, with no fencing separating there is another cemetery which is heavily treed and not as well maintained.
Edna's headstone is gray granite - an upright slab, resting on a horizontal base. A large granite urn sits on the left side. The stone has a light colored heart in the center with a banner reading "Love is Forever". The inscription in the heart reads:
