Key Points:
- The finale of the limited series Love Story, now streaming on Hulu, depicts the tragic deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette, and her sister Lauren Bessette in a 1999 plane crash near Martha’s Vineyard.
- The episode highlights family tensions over burial decisions, as the Kennedy family wanted to bury John and Carolyn in Massachusetts, but Lauren was not permitted in the family plot, causing disagreement with the Bessette family.
- JFK Jr.’s former assistant RoseMarie Terenzio suggested cremation and a joint burial to Caroline Kennedy, believing John would have wanted the three to remain together.
- Ultimately, John, Carolyn, and Lauren were cremated and their ashes scattered at sea off Martha’s Vineyard, near the crash site, with 17 family members present for the ceremony aboard the USS Briscoe.
