Jimi Hendrix Grave Site
Hendrix,grave
After his death in London, England, Jimi’s body was returned to his hometown of Seattle. In October 1970, Jimi Hendrix was laid to rest in Renton’s Greenwood Cemetery.
His gravestone reads: "Forever in our hearts, James M. 'Jimi' Hendrix, 1942-1970”. The headstone contains a depiction of a Fender Stratocaster guitar, the instrument he was most famed for using - although the guitar is shown right-side up, rather than the way Hendrix played it, upside down.
The memorial is a granite dome supported by three pillars under which Jimi Hendrix and other family members are interred. Hendrix's autograph is inscribed at the base of each pillar. Nearby you will find the grave of Jimi's mother Lucille (ca. 1925-1958) as well as his father, James Allen Ross "Al" Hendrix (1919-2002), his grandmother Zenora Hendrix (1884-1985), and his uncle Frank Hendrix (1918-1986).
