This is Judy Garland's new resting place in Hollywood after her remains were moved from New York to 'be near her three children'.
The 'Wizard Of Oz' star's body was moved cross-country from a crypt in New York's Ferncliff Cemetery to Hollywood Forever Cemetery - intended as a resting place for daughters Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft.
The space in the mausoleum, renamed the Judy Garland Pavilion, also has room for all her family including the famed actress-singer's daughters, her son, Joey Luft, and her grandchildren, Hollywood Forever spokeswoman Noelle Berman said.

'The move to Hollywood was made after many years of family consultations and deliberations,' Berman said Monday.
'Ms. Garland's three children now reside in Southern California and wished to have their mother resting near them.'
The move reflects resolution of an issue involving Garland's fifth husband, according to Victoria Varela, a family spokeswoman.
'When Judy Garland died, her affairs were controlled by her husband, Mickey Deans. Her children had no say in the matter of her burial, so this is at last their opportunity to do what they feel their mother would have wanted in the first place — to be united with her family in Hollywood,' Varela said in a statement.
Garland, star of classic films including 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Meet Me in St. Louis,' died in 1969 at age 47 in London. Deans died in 2003.
