Review:

Hank Williams Memorial and Grave commemorates the final resting place of the beloved American country music singer, who was born in 1923 and became known as the King of Country Music throughout his career in the mid-2oth century, in part due to his appearances as a member of the famed Grand Ole Opry. Williams' life was tragically cut short in 1953, when he died of heart failure related to alcohol use on the way to a concert on New Year's Day. Today, he is buried at a gravesite at Montgomery's Oakwood Cemetery Annex approximately a mile from the city's downtown district, near the lovely Hank Williams Museum. A marble replica of Williams' signature cowboy hat is showcased, along with two white marble monuments surrounded by Astroturf. Visitors can pay their respects to the singer at the gravesite throughout the week and also see the gravesite of his wife, Audrey, buried next to him.
