Is there a gravesite for hellen Keller?

Answer 1

Helen was not buried in the usual sense. After a somewhat secretive funeral-she died in Connecticut as I recall, Her body was cremated and the cremation ashes eventually deposited in a niche in the Washington Cathedral near those of Annie Sullivan Macy her teacher and so-called Miracle Worker and her later companion, Polly Thompson, the Memory jogger is to think of Macy"s store and the Thompson gun!. There is something a little fishy about all this. It was originally planned that she be returned to her home town, Tuscumbia and buried there. a Blind-charities television commercial which circulated in the early seventies had cemetery shots and an illustration of a full-length (alas cenotaphic, as she is not buried there) standing statue of Miss Keller which appeared to be full size and Bronze(as viewed in a B&W TV set) Of course statues do not have to be tied into burial sites, but this one was in a cemetery.

Answer 2

Helen Keller is buried at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington D.C. in a garden dedicated to her memory.
