When you think of Nashville, you think of the sights and sounds of tourist attractions. However, what lies beneath the city are those country music legends that are no longer with us today. There are several cemeteries throughout Nashville that welcome fans and even have information available to help locate famous graves.
Something interesting to note is that Tammy Wynette’s grave in the mausoleum originally had her stage name, Tammy Wynette, on it. Then it was changed by her husband to Virginia Richardson. In 2015, Georgette Jones, the daughter of George Jones & Tammy Wynette, was able to restore it back to Tammy Wynette.
