US: Museum mulls moving jazz musician Charlie Parker's remains US Parker
KANSAS CITY, Missouri, Oct 13 AP - The American Jazz Museum Board is considering moving jazz musician Charlie Parker's remains to a new grave.
The board voted Tuesday to explore the idea of moving Parker's remains to the 18th and Vine District in Kansas City. The vote was prompted by a recent trash dumping at Lincoln Cemetery, where Parker is buried.
The board favours moving Parker's remains to a mausoleum in a sculpture of Parker at Charlie Parker Memorial Plaza, near the jazz museum.
``It would be good to move it (the grave) from an area where no one can find it to down here where ... people can come and pay their respects,'' said board memberMike White.
Before any final decision is made, the board will research the legal requirements and costs of such a move.
