James Douglas Morrison

Grave of James Douglas Morrison

Grave of James Douglas Morrison (1943-1971)
“ΚΑΤΑ ΤΟΝ ΔΑΙΜΟΝΑ ΕΑΥΤΟΥ” (According to his own daemon)
Cimetière du Père-Lachaise, (Père Lachaise Cemetery)
Quartier du Père-Lachaise, 20th arrondissement
Paris, July 2002

“Morrison’s grave has continually morphed and changed over the years, with a granite headstone and brass plaque replacing the crude bust and base that stood for the first decade and a half after Morrison’s death. Much of the graffiti that was there in the 1980s has been removed and a guard is installed there now to handle the large volume of crowds that come to visit the site on a daily basis.” (Jim Morrison’s Paris Grave Site, Ultimate Classic Rock)
