Gregg Allman Laid to Rest at Macon Funeral
Cher, former president Jimmy Carter, Allman Brothers band mates attend private service
Gregg Allman was laid to rest Saturday afternoon in Macon, Georgia, where the Allman Brothers Band singer was buried near his brother Duane Allman and band mate Berry Oakley.
Former president Jimmy Carter, Peter Frampton, ex-wife Cher and many of Allman's bandmates like Jaimoe, Dickey Betts and Derek Trucks were among those that attended the private ceremony at Snow's Memorial Chapel in Macon. Allman's children Devon, Layla and Delilah Island, his niece (and Duane's daughter) Galadrielle, his lifelong friend Chank Middleton and his manager Michael Lehmen delivered eulogies at the service.
As requested by Allman's estate, mourners wore jeans to the funeral instead of suits. Following the private service, hundreds of fans, many wearing Allman Brothers shirts and listening to the band's music, lined the route along the funeral procession to nearby Rose Hill Cemetery, where Allman was buried close to Duane, who died in a 1971 motorcycle accident.
While the burial was also private, hundreds of fans gathered on a hill overlooking Allman's grave while the rocker was taken to his final resting place.
