When you burn a body on a funeral pyre, it doesn’t tend to leave many remains, but they are still some that may be buried. Why Metairie, though? I thought his family was all in Florida
@@thepostapocalyptictrio4762 His step-father was from New Orleans and moved back there after Gram's mother died. There's some suspicion he was trying to prove Gram was a resident of Louisiana to take advantage of an old Napoleonic law where he might be entitled to Gram's money as his nearest male relative. Didn't happen though. Kind of sad that this "lonely kid" wasn't buried back in Florida with his mom and dad.
Yes, it is a very interesting story. What I understand is that his friends took his remains to Joshua Tree and then somehow the family retrieved some of the remains and buried them in this grave in Louisiana.
Yes they are. Read about the Napoleonic Law that Grams step father used to get all of his money. Grams friends stole a hearse and his body and brought him Joshua Tree. His friends had his back.
Lawn cemeteries. You may as well not bother. Who came up with this idea?? Stones are supposed to be upright. They still have to weedkill around the stones anyway.
The workers digging graves and landscape maintenance perfer it so they dont have to remove upright headstones to move in trucks and other large equipment. They cover everything with plywood and drive right over the flat headstones.
Like a friend told me recently while I was looking for a grave, Why worry about stepping over or walking on a grave, the caretakers of all cemeteries run over every single grave with a riding lawnmower
Thanks for this. Gram left our world 50 years early but glad he was here at all.
RIP sweet Gram! I listen to your music everyday!
Just found Gram All Saints Day 2022. There’s a lot of offerings at his grave right now! ⚜️🌟🌚🎸🌼
A pure and beautiful voice indeed……………❤️
I bet Gram and Mike Nesmith are talking country rock today-love you
What a beautiful man. Rip
Thank you !!!
Polly should do some remodeling Gram deserves it
Hope he's found a nice place....I do not think happiness/unhappiness matters out there....
Sad :(
I read that he wasn’t buried in Metairie.
It's a fascinating story. From what I understand, not all of his remains are buried in this grave.

@@margaretross9150 interesting. Kind of a shame his remains ended up in a town most known for the KKK
Body burned, a Josiah natl park.
Josha Tree, yes it was.
@@laureanne3409 lady you are too young,to know that.
Why is there a grave if there is not a body there? He was freed by fire in joshua tree...
Some say part of his remains are in Joshua Tree and the rest are here. It's a crazy story!
I thought they took Gram Parsons to Joshua tree where he was cremated?
Yes, it is a very interesting story. What I understand is that his friends took his remains to Joshua Tree and then somehow the family retrieved some of the remains and buried them in this grave in Louisiana.
His remains arent there..if you didnt know this.
It's a bizarre story, isn't it?!
Yes they are. Read about the Napoleonic Law that Grams step father used to get all of his money. Grams friends stole a hearse and his body and brought him Joshua Tree. His friends had his back.
SOME PEOPLE CANT HANDLE LIFE AND THEY TURN TO DRUGS OR BOOZE! LISTEN UP KIDS OF TODAY! 😁😁

Very disrespectful standing / walking over graves.
Yes. I apologize. I try to avoid walking on the graves as much as possible.
There was NO intentional or unintentional disrespect from this video. She was gracious enough to do the video...so enjoy it or leave.
Nobody’s offended. They’re dead.
