Where is H.P. Lovecraft buried?
Lovecraft is buried in Swan Point Cemetery, Providence, R.I., which is just northeast of the Brown University and College Hill area. He and his parents are in the plot belonging to his maternal grandfather, Whipple Van Buren Phillips. Once you enter the cemetery, follow Holly Avenue straight back to Junction Avenue, where you make a left. Soon after this, Pond Avenue curves off to the right. Follow Pond until it intersects Avenue B. The family plot is on the east side of the intersection of these two avenues. Lovecraft’s grave was unmarked until the mid-1970s when fans raised funds for a tombstone. Prior to that, the only indication that he was buried there was his name inscribed on the back of the large family monument.
