“Yes, an astroturf grave.”
Hank was originally buried on January 4, 1953 in the main part of Oakwood Cemetery, but his body was moved to its current location on January 17, 1953 to a spot that would later be big enough to accommodate the burial of other family members. The move had to be made during the night because there were so many visitors to the gravesite. The gravesite features two white and gray Georgia marble monuments. Hank's stands in front of a marble replica of his cowboy hat and is inscribed with many of his hit songs. On the back of Hank’s monument is a letter from Audrey, (ex-wife).
My husband and I visited here today and met "The Grave Tender" Terry Faust. He was incredibly nice and told us lots of stories of his time tending to Hank and Audrey's graves. Very glad we stopped here!
