where is schindler buried?

Besides many other interests, I'm interested in cemeteries and—naturally, when combining interests—interested in architects' gravestones. Did they carry their design philosophy (literally) to the grave? I've tried to locate Schindler's burial site and gravestone off and on over the years with no luck. Now I know why.

After gawking at art at the Menil in Houston last week and stopping in for the obligatory visit to the museum store, the bride found this book:


First: Cool. Second: Props for proper apostrophe usage. Third: Do they have a Schindler entry?

They do! And it's poetic.

Verbatim from the book:

"... Schindler's ... ashes were put away in a crawl space within the house and were never found when the house was extensively remodeled. Thus, Schindler resides eternally and ethereally in the house he designed and in which he lived."
