Why did they move Karen Carpenters tomb?

Her brother, Richard Lynn Carpenter, used to live in Downey, Calif. (where the family moved after leaving New Haven, Conn.). Karen used to be buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Cypress, Calif. (a short drive from Downey). A few years ago, Richard moved his family from Downey to Thousand Oaks, Calif. After moving his wife and children to their new home, he moved his sister, his father (Harold), and his mother (Agnes), from their crypt in Cypress, to Pierce Brothers Memorial Park, Westlake Village, Calif. Westlake Village is only about two miles from Richard's new home. Cypress, Calif. is much further away from Thousand Oaks, Calif.

The main reason the crypt was moved, was to be much nearer to Richard and family's new home than their previous crypt. Another reason for moving the crypt was the previous one was on the other side of a rope barrier, which was easy to cross and leave flowers, cards, and gifts by fans. The new location for the crypt is inside the locked doors of a mausoleum. If fans want to leave flowers, cards, and gifts; they will have to leave them on the outside of the locked doors.
