Louisville, Kentucky: Muhammad Ali's Grave

It is difficult to think of Muhammad Ali at rest. During the time when he was internationally known as a boxer, Ali was a man in constant motion - in and out of the ring.

Ali is said to have wanted something simple for a grave site, but apparently the family upgraded the plans once he died in 2016. This is the final result, a pleasant spot in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville.

Ali did get his way in one important area. He is buried on his side and facing east, as is the Muslim custom.

During our visit, there were several others in the area who wanted to pay their respects to the champ. I would guess this will be a busy site for several more years.
