Find A Grave for Allen Dulles:

The CIA was instrumental in the overthrow of many governments through covert activities. The U-2 Plane was devised, gleaning important information with its flights over Russia. It discovered the hidden missiles in Cuba resulting in subsequent removal. However: They hit a snag when President John F. Kennedy held Dulles responsible for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba because of faulty information and forced him to resign. In retirement, he wrote articles defending the CIA and rejected charges it was to blame for the Cuba failure. He closed out his amazing career by serving on the Warren Commission on the assassination of President Kennedy adding credibility to the final report. Eight years later, at the time of his death, he still carried the mythical tile of "Spymaster" and was still respected in the country and throughout the world as the most talented, effectual American spy in history. He contracted influenza which developed into pneumonia taking his life at age seventy five. Prior to his resignation he toured the newly constructed Central Intelligence Headquarters, a project he spearheaded, situated in a college campus-like atmosphere creating an ideal atmosphere in which to pursue intelligence work. He never was able to occupy the office of director. After his death a bas-relief sculpted by Heinz Warneke depicting him was placed on the north wall of the main lobby honoring his long service and contributions to the CIA.

Dulles is buried in Greenmount Cemetery Baltimore.
