Re-posted from TripAdvisor - Jimi Hendrix Grave Site: Traveler Reviews
For those who are interested in Jimi Hendrix, his gravesite is a neat thing to go and see. Open from dawn to dusk, 365 days a year, Greenwood Memorial Park at 350 Monroe St. NE. in Renton, Washington is the 2nd resting place of Jimi Hendrix. He was previously moved from another area in the same graveyard, (not from the graveyard in which Bruce Lee is currently buried in, as has been reported). Jimi now rests with his father, step-mother and grandmother in a large structure that you can see from the cemetary parking lot. It's a short distance from there and even affords wheelchair access right up to the altar. The polished granite mausoleum has bench seating, (which can get pretty wet with the rain) but there are many places to leave flowers where the water collects. Even the most dedicated fans who bring music (low volume only due to groundskeepers) and leave such items as guitar picks, flowers and herb, will only need about an hour tops to complete their pilgrimage. Otherwise it's a 15 minute photo-op at most.
Requiescat In Pace
