In a video or post titled “The Grave of Legendary Country Singer Conway Twitty,” there was an understandable slip where the narrator mistakenly said Mississippi instead of Missouri when referring to Twitty’s final resting place. It’s an easy mix-up, but let’s set the record straight:
📍 Where Is Conway Twitty Buried?
Conway Twitty is buried at Sumner Memorial Gardens in Gallatin, Tennessee, not in Missouri or Mississippi.
However, the confusion may stem from the fact that:
Twitty was born in Friars Point, Mississippi, in 1933.
He later lived and worked in Missouri, especially during his early career.
His career took him across several Southern states before settling in Tennessee, where he passed away in 1993.
🪦 A Quiet Resting Place for a Country Legend
Sumner Memorial Gardens, located just outside Nashville, is a peaceful cemetery where fans still visit to pay their respects. Twitty’s grave is often adorned with flowers, mementos, and heartfelt notes from admirers who remember his iconic songs like:
“Hello Darlin’”
“Tight Fittin’ Jeans”
“I’d Love to Lay You Down”
“That’s My Job”
While the video’s creator meant to say Missouri, it’s important to remember that his legacy lives far beyond geography. Fans from all over the country — and the world — continue to honor the voice, the music, and the man who helped shape country music as we know it.
✅ Final Clarification:
✅ Birthplace: Friars Point, Mississippi
✅ Career Roots: Arkansas & Missouri
✅ Final Resting Place: Gallatin, Tennessee
Even with the mix-up, the sentiment remains strong: Conway Twitty may be gone, but his music and memory live on in the hearts of fans everywhere.
