George Morrison said it was "quite an honor ... for the family" to have his son buried near cultural giants like Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf and Frederic Chopin.

I've been to that cemetery and it's disgraceful what the "tourists" have done to the grave there. It's not hard at all to find Morrison's grave.......just follow the graffiti. I heard a year or so ago that the descendants of people buried there were trying to get Morrison's grave moved out because they were so disgusted with the defacing of their loved ones' grave stones.

Well the plots there are not sold, they are rented. His lease was up. Some figured it would present the first opportunity for a Stateside funeral.

His parents didn't get to attend the first one. Morrison was buried before word got out.
