Hi I am surfing the net for my father who is a great "fan" of Herman Hesse. Does anybody here now where in Suisse he is buried?

This is from the conclusion of a paper at this URL

Hesse was ill throughout the winter of 1961, and was unaware that for some time he had been suffering from leukemia. On his eighty-fifth birthday, Montagnola elected him an honorary citizen, an honor he was delighted to accept. On the evening of August 8, Hesse listened to a Mozart sonata, and his wife read aloud to him as she did every evening. The next morning Hesse died in his sleep of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was buried in the cemetery of S.Abbondio between Montagnola and Lugano in the afternoon of August 11. One of Hesse's last poems, "written on an April night" in the spring of l961, ends with these lines:

What you loved and what you strove for,
What you dreamed and what you lived through,
Do you know if it was joy or suffering?
G sharp and A flat, E flat or D sharp,
Are they distinguishable to the ear?
