I was surprised to find that this memorial is much easier to find than the Bruce Lee grave. It is in a beautiful cemetery and is well maintained. It's nice, but still, it's a grave. Not sure how I can rate it higher unless I were a super-fan.

I have visited Jimi Hendrix's grave site in the past, but every time I go there it brings up good memories of not only his life and music but also others that I have lost. This is a quiet place and even on the anniversary of his birthday I didn't see a crowd. This is a place others should visit.

Took wife and two kids (11 and 8) to see this memorial and take some pictures. I think some day my kids will thank me for taking them here. Nice memorial and makes for good pictures on a sunny day.

We are proud of what has been done for Jimi by his family. It has never disappointed any of our guests or visitors. It's a beautiful location!

The site pays beautiful tribute to a talented musician. Jimi and his fabulous music are missed. The gounds are very well kept. This cemetary is located in a residential area and not very well marked, but we found it and so can anyone else.

This is a great thing to take visitors too. But be respectful you are in a cemetery. Do a grave rubbing and take it home. In Seattle you can also find Bruce Lee. RIP Jimi & Bruce

This was made known to us by colleagues so we made the pilgrimage. If you lived through Woodstock then you must visit this shrine. It was moving.

Much nicer than the old site, and well planned for the 'offerings' of flowers, guitar picks, candles, poetry, and whatever else people leave. Dont' miss the original tombstone with its engraved guitar, or the beautiful big sundial!

I grew up in this neighborhood, and was out with my driver's education group the day Jimi Hendrix was buried here. So when I had the chance, I came back to see the new memorial. It's very nicely done, easy to find, nice memorabilia. If you're a fan of Hendrix or this era of music, you should visit if you... More
