Lizzie Borden is buried in the Borden family plot at Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, MA. Resting with her are her father Andrew, her biological mother Sarah, her sister Emma and I believe a sister that died before Lizzie's birth (named Alice).
Lizzie's step-mother Abbey, whom was murdered with Andrew, (and Andrew's second wife) in August 1892 was buried with her own family in a neighboring town.
Lizzie's tombstone bares the name LizBeth Borden, the name she took after her trial in 1893.

Did Emma Borden protect Lizzie from police?
It is virtually impossible to study the Borden case and not speculate on Emma Borden's complicity in the coverup of the crime. Although the older Borden sister had a rock-solid aliby, I believe there is evidence that Emma protected Lizzie after her arrest, roughly a week after the double murders. A conversation between the sisters was overheard by a jail guard, the gist being Lizzie fearful that Emma had 'given' Lizzie up to police. Emma denied this was true. It is also true that Emma was present when Borden friend Alice Russell witnessed Lizzie burning a dress in the kitchen woodstove due to 'paint stains' which ruined the fabric. These are but a couple examples put forth as proof that Emma Borden knew more about Lizzie's involvement in the death of Andrew and Abbey Borden. There have been many books written on the Borden case, many of those accuse Emma of the murders herself, others a willing partner in crime. Although at this late date it is almost impossible to prove, it is my guess that she felt or knew Lizzie was responsible yet protected her during her darkest moments after the murders clear through to Lizzie's aquittal in court in 1893.

When did Lizzie Borden's father re-marry?
Andrew Borden's first wife Sarah (mother to Emma and Lizzie) died in 1863. Andrew remarried 2 years later in 1865.
How many sisters and brothers did Lizzie Borden have?
Lizzie had one sister, older by a decade. Emma Borden practically raised Lizzie after their mother's death when Lizzie was 3. Although Andrew Borden married again, Lizzie never had a close relationship with her step-mother Abbey. Until the elder Borden's murders in 1892, Lizzie called Abbey 'Mrs. Borden'. There was also the rumor of an illegitimate son from an indescretion of Andrew Borden but this may or may not have been a fact. If he did have a son, this offspring was not mentioned or provided for in his last will and testiment.
What was Lizzie Borden's mother's maiden name?
Emma was Lizzie's sister's name. She was about 10 years older than Lizzie and took care of Lizzie after the death of their mother when Lizzie was around 3. Emma was visiting friends in another town when the murders took place. She stood by Lizzie through her arrest and aquittal. Neither sister wanted to return to the house after the murders so Lizzie bought a much bigger house in a fancier neighborhood and Emma lived there with her for several years. But something happened between the sisters and Emma moved to a house of her own which was much more modest. The Borden's remained estranged for the rest of their lives. There was a rumor that the dispute between the sisters was an inappropriate relationship Lizzie had with an actress from New York City. But whatever the disagreement, the women were never able to totally reconcile. Emma died within days of Lizzie in early 1927. At the death of their father and stepmother, Emma and Lizzie shared equally all of the Borden assets, which were substantial. At their deaths Emma's wealth had more than doubled. She led a very modest and quiet existance. Unlike Lizzie who had spent a good portion of her inheritance. She entertained for people from out of town. The jury found her not guilty but the people of Fall River were of a different opinion and Lizzie was ostrasized by the majority of the people she used to socialize with. She spent money sometimes without thought. She had also spent a conciderable amount helping her actress friend, whom had money problems. Today all the Bordens are together again. Lizzie and Emma were buried beside their birth mother, father and stepmother. The house where the murders occured is now used as a bed and breakfast that claims the house is haunted by Lizzie. Who knows, maybe it is.
Has anyone ever considered if Lizzie Bordens sister Emma may have been the killer?
In his book "Lizzie" author Frank Spiering claimed that Lizzie's sister Emma was not where everyone thought she was, and was indeed the killer. Lizzie and Emma were furious over a family dispute over a piece of real estate that Andrew Borden had given to his wife's side of the family. Abby Borden was Emma and Lizzie's stepmother, so to see some of their property going to someone 'outside' the immediate family caused a rift that could not be overcome.
