Jerry's grave is in Lee Memorial Park in Verona, MS. I think the garden he is buried in is called the Sermon on the Mount. As you go inside the gates of the cemetery, turn right, and his grave is very close to the drive near the Magnolia tree. He is buried close to his mom and dad, Victor and Merl Bramlett. As you may recall, he was only 49 years old when he suffered his fatal heart attach.
