Charles Kirk's headstone is located at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, which is located at the corner of Sooner Road and Waterloo, on the north edge of Oklahoma County.
This headstone is made of Oklahoma native sandstone blocks in the traditional shape of a block with a rounded top. Imbedded into this stone "wall" is a concrete guitar approximately four feet long, on which the strings and frets are etched, as well as the word "PEPPER". It is an eye-catcher from anywhere nearby. In front of this wall, a concrete slab on the ground contains this inscription:
In memory of
CHARLES H. KIRK
A loving son, brother & friend
JULY 5, 1954 - JULY 12, 2006
