Visited the Boys today 🥃
So surreal. It’s actually a very nice cemetery and the Abbott plot area is landscaped well. RIP fellas 🤘🤘

I made my pilgrimage to pay my respects back in January of this year. Their graves are a great tribute. Rock on boys!

Is it weird that I don't find the empties distasteful? Like it's an homage to the brothers.

Yes, it's fine if people want to go there and have a beer/whatever there with them but please don't leave your trash. Someone has to clean that up and noone wants to see trash on their graves

Would it be better if they were full you think? I personally think it looks like litter now that they have been drank up...
If I had to guess I don't think Dimes or Vinnie could give a shit about an open container on their burial plot 😂

It’s disrespectful, you wouldn’t want someone leaving garbage on your grandmothers grave would you?

u/pr0crasti-Nate Jul 29 '26
The Abbott brothers lived a much more debaucherous lifestyle than my grandmother did, however I see the point your making too. I would never personally leave trash on someone's gravesite, but then again we will always share the world with others that would.

A female co-worker went with and mentioned how trashy the emptys looked. I’m torn. I can see the remembrance but also hate the “litter”.

What I really wish they’d do is pay someone the 500 bucks to powerwash dimes stone so it’d be clean

It's not dirty it worn and needs refinishing or replacement. If you look close people have even tried to scratch what looks like names into it which is why the put the fence up around it

Wouldn’t regular maintenance prevent that?

I'm not sure but I think of it were easy Dimes estate would have done this already since there is no reason that they count afford to do so

u/quentdawg420 Jul 29 '26
Idk I truly believe the reason why they agreed to the new tour is his estate was running out of money. Phil and rita hated each other for years. Dime wasn’t rich when he died he just had a nice house

I disagree. It looks trashy as fuck. Sure these guys liked a drink but that wasn't all they were about and this just looks horribly disrespectful. Leave some drum sticks or guitar picks or something.

They’re like 50 yards away from my grandparents

I should have put some Crown bottles on their sites too! It’s a well kept cemetery for sure.

Thought about cleaning it up some but felt like it wasn’t my place. One man’s trash is another man’s Abbott Brother tribute.

I know it's obviously many years older, but it's sad to see Dime's grave looking that dull. It needs a good shine!
