Where Was Kurt Cobain Buried? Can You Visit the Grave of the Legendary Rock Star?

The music industry is capable of building icons who will never be forgotten. Kurt Cobain was one of those people. Unfortunately, the Nirvana vocalist lost the battle against his inner demons, and he died by suicide when he was still very young.

What happened to Kurt's remains? Here's what we know about the singer's loved ones handled his departure. This includes what they did to the artist's body once it was found, and how places that were important to Kurt were incorporated into the process.

A report by All That's Interesting dives deep into what happened in the aftermath of Kurt's death. It's hard to tell if the singer had been struggling with mental health issues for a while, or if the fatal decision he took was more impulsive than believed.

Kurt is remembered by millions of Nirvana fans from all over the world. The Nirvana star apparently wasn't buried. Instead, Kurt's remains were cremated, allowing what was left of him to be taken to several locations across the country.

Kurt is survived by his daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. Esquire's account of the singer's memorial establishes that Kurt's ashes were kept or scattered in different places. Some of the ashes were placed in an urn, while others were stuffed inside a teddy bear.

The narrative gets more emotional as more details emerge. The teddy was presumably for Frances, while the rest of the ashes were taken to the Namgyal Buddhist Monastery in Ithaca, N.Y.

Religion can be closely connected to music. Kurt's spirituality can be found all over his work, including the three studio albums that were recorded by Nirvana. Buddhist monks performed a special ceremony to deposit Kurt's ashes at their final destination. The remains were spread by Frances across the McLane Creek in Olympia, Wash.

Kurt's loved ones cherish their memories with him. The singer's family treated his departure with a great amount of love and respect.

The press was quick to report the Nirvana vocalist's death. However, not much was known about what actually happened in the years that followed the tragedy. That changed thanks to the Seattle Police Department.

It's not common for cold cases to gain traction years after they take place. CBS shared a few images from the Cobain crime scene that were shared by the authorities. The images showed some of the items that were present in the singer's room when he decided to take his own life.

A pair of sunglasses, shotgun cases, and a suicide note are some of the items that can be seen in the photographs. It took years for the Seattle Police Department to allow the public to take a look at the scene.
