A tour of Jacksonville's Southern rock graves
Jacksonville, the birthplace of Southern rock, is also the final resting place of many who defined the genre. Photographer Chris Soldt takes a tour of Jacksonville's Southern rock graves.
Current grave of Ronnie Van Zant
After Van Zant’s mausoleum was vandalized in 2000, his family had his remains moved to Riverside Memorial Park in Westside Jacksonville.
There they were sealed in an underground vault beneath a concrete slab to prevent further problems. Like the mausoleum, Van Zant’s tombstone, which is reportedly not directly above the actual grave, has become a shrine for fans and wellwishers.
In the same area are the graves of Van Zant’s parents Marion and Lacy Van Zant, as well as a bench marked with the family name. Many other members of the Van Zant family are buried in Riverside Memorial Park, including Van Zant’s sister Suzan Marlene Van Zant Hodge and cousin Jimmie Van Zant, also a musician.
