The Final Resting Place of Berry Oakley & Duane Allman: Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia

Tragedy struck the Allman Brothers Band early on, not once, but twice. On October 29, 1971 Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident.  He lost control of his motorcycle and drove it into the side of a flat bed truck in Macon.  Tragedy struck again on November 11, 1972.   Perry Oakley died from a head injury following a motorcycle accident on State Highway 19 in Macon.

Berry Oakley & Duane Allman
are buried side by side in
Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon.

Their graves are fenced in

to keep fans from fans

from vandalizing them.

Berry Oakley's grave

The angels Eric and I see at the foot of their graves are replacements.  The originals were stolen years ago.

Eric picks up a few leaves

from the grave site.

The leaves and a few pictures will be mailed back to New York State to the family's music fans... You know who you are.
