He's not buried. His body was cermated. Yoko has his ashes.

John Lennon was cremated. I read it in a book at barnes and nobles.

He wasn't. He was cremated and Yoko scattered the ashes at an
undisclosed location (so it wouldn't become another gathering place
for freaks as Jim Morrison's burial place became).

If I recall from the December 1980 accounts at that time, John was buried
almost immediately at an undisclosed site.

No one but a handful of people know where he is buried. And I think that
is a good thing, since he ought to at least rest in peace if he can't
have his life.

I could've sworn Yoko had him creamated and spread across the ocean (or
maybe it was New York, I can't remember now). I really thought I read
this somewhere because Yoko said he said he loved the ocean (or New
York),so that's where she wanted him to be. She was afraid if he were
buried someplace his grave may be harmed.

If I am mistaken can someone please straighten me out?

He was cremated. I thought the ashes were spread at sea, but I'm not
sure.

It wasn't in Central Park, though the deeply moving Strawberry Fields
memorial is there.

John was cremated, which is something he never wanted. His ashes were
given to Yoko and she put them under their bed. I never heard anything
about the ashed being scattered. I assume she still has them in their
apartment. The clothing he was wearing and the sheets with the blood on
them were burnt by an emplyee of the hospital for fear that someone would
steal them and try to sell them. Smart move.

Source, please.

I have, although I no longer have the source; perhaps someone who
actually knows what he or she is talking about, rather than parroting
what they think they remember reading in the _Weekly World News_, will
post it.

Last summer a friend loaned me a book that right now I can't remember the
name of,but it was written by an employee of the Lennon's who states that
Yoko handed him the urn at one point, that the ashes were in and
instructed him to pack them away with many other things while spring
cleaning I guess,and he at the time said she did it with no
emotion.Whether this is true or not,we only get our information from what
we read about anything unless we live it.I never heard of the ashes being
scattered anywhere.

Very true in some sense...but if you really want to know where John
Lennon is buried, the answer is....He wasn't. John was cremated. His
"funeral" I believe, was a mass gathering of people outside of the Dakota
and Yoko calling for a period of silence. (I forget how long the silence
was for....I was only 4 years old at the time, and it has been a while
since I've last listened to my tribute to John Lennon tapes....)

They may have burned the sheets and clothes, but in the cover of Yoko's
"Season of Glass", next to a glass of water are the blood-spattered
glasses he was wearing. Pretty macrabe...

Sick? Sure. Joke? Not even close to being amusing.
