Jack Mullaney is definitely NOT buried in an unmarked grave in Holy Cross. He is buried near his parents in Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Montgomery Ohio. I don't know how this rumor began, but it has been all over the internet. I suspect he bought the plot in Holy Cross when he was making good money in Hollywood. But he's definitely buried with his family. It has even been corrected on Find a Grave.
