hendrix was buried in renton, washington in greenwood memorial park on october 1, 1970. his headstone was wrong because it shows a picture of hendrix playing a stratocaster, but the stratocaster is right-handed, hendrix played left-handed. because hendrix had so many fans, people were worried that the crowds of people wanting to look at his grave would damage other graves, so hendrix’ father, al hendrix, had another memorial site built far from other graves. the memorial is a granite dome architecture, held up by three pillars and hendrix is buried underneath. his autograph is at the foot of each pillar and a brass sundial is at the top of the dome. there is also a memorial statue of hendrix playing a stratocaster on the corner of broadway and pine in seattle.
