I found this grave through Allen Ellenberger's website: http://allanellenberger.com/book-flm-news/caryl-s-fleming-at-hollywood-forever/ 

He graciously allowed me to use the grave photo above. Please check out the link because he has a lot more biographical information than I do.

Also, IBM RING 21 in Hollywood is called The Caryl Fleming Ring and they have a very good biography of Caryl on their website as well. http://www.ibmring21.org/fleminghistory.html
