Legendary musician
Leonard Cohen was buried next to his parents in a
Montreal
cemetery.
The musician was buried in 'an unadorned pine box' on Thursday, his son
Adam
wrote in a recent Facebook post.
"My sister and I just buried my father in Montreal. With only immediate family and a few lifelong friends present, he was lowered into the ground in an unadorned pine box, next to his mother and father. Exactly as he'd asked."
"...There's so much I wish I could thank him for, just one last time. I d thank him for the comfort he always provided, for the wisdom he dispensed, for the marathon conversations, for his dazzling wit and humor...And I'd thank him for music; first for his
music
which seduced me as a boy, then for his encouragement of my own music, and finally for the privilege of being able to make music with him," Adam wrote.
