Carolyn Bessette Kennedy is not buried in a traditional grave; her remains were cremated, and her ashes were scattered at sea off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, together with those of John F. Kennedy Jr. and her sister Lauren.

What happened to her remains?

  • After the plane crash in July 1999, the bodies of John F. Kennedy Jr., Carolyn, and Lauren Bessette were recovered and later cremated in Massachusetts.
  • On July 22, 1999, their ashes were scattered from the U.S. Navy ship USS Briscoe in the waters off Martha’s Vineyard, several miles from the crash site.

Is there a gravesite to visit?

  • There is no individual gravesite or cemetery plot for Carolyn Bessette Kennedy because she was given a burial at sea.
  • Public remembrances tend to focus on memorial services and biographies rather than a physical burial place, so those interested in paying respects usually do so symbolically or through visiting related Kennedy family sites.
