John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette were not buried in a cemetery; their ashes were scattered at sea off Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, on July 22, 1999. The same sea burial also included Carolyn’s sister Lauren Bessette.

Quick Scoop

The memorial took place aboard the USS Briscoe , and the ash scattering happened several miles off the coast near the site of the plane crash.

In short

  • John: cremated, ashes scattered at sea.
  • Carolyn: ashes scattered at sea.
  • Lauren: ashes scattered at sea.

If you meant a different John and Carolyn, tell me which ones and I’ll narrow it down.
