About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Shep the Turnpike Dog made a toll booth area on the Boulder Turnpike for 14 years when it was a toll road. After he died, he was buried in an area near the toll booth where he hung out until expansions necessitated moving him to a different location. He is now located in Zang Spur Park next to the Depot Museum at 2201 W. 10th Ave. Broomfield, CO 80020, which is part of the City and County of Broomfield.
