Now he lies in Sleepy Hollow among his brothers under the pines he loved." On March 4, 1888, Bronson Alcott died, and two days later Louisa Alcott followed her father.

They lie near together on the ridge a little beyond Hawthorne.

Initials only mark the graves of her sisters, but it has been found necessary to place a small stone bearing the name "Louisa" on the grave of the author of "Little Women." She had made every arrangement for her death, and by her own wish her funeral was in her father's rooms in Boston, and attended by only a few of her family and nearest friends.
"They read her exquisite poem to her mother, her father's noble tribute to her, and spoke of the earnestness and truth of her life.

She was remembered as she would have wished to be.

Her body was carried to Concord and placed in the beautiful cemetery of Sleepy Hollow, where her dearest ones were already laid to rest.
'Her boys' went beside her as 'a guard of honor,' and stood around as she was placed across the feet of father, mother, and sister, that she might 'take care of them as she had done all her life.'" Louisa Alcott's last written words were the acknowledgment of the receipt of a flower.
