Many more talented musicians never received notice because at that time Jim hit a chord with the youth...rebellion. And that still stands today with so many untalented people getting the limelight because they do and say exactly is wanted from the youth. And that is usually just their voice to say what the youth can't.

I will have to respectfully disagree.
The Doors were well before my time. 10+ years before I was even born.
I completely missed out on Mr. Morrison's stage theatrics. In fact I never had the opportunity to see a recorded performance until I was about 20 years old.
I grew up listening to the Doors. Knowing only their music. And to this day I still listen to all their Albums. i think they were a great influence on the person I turned out to be. I personally think their music is awesome.
Because it's easier to believe that a person has died if there is a gravesite to go see. If on the other hand a person was cremated, then more people would doubt the death. As long most people believe that a person has died, then you can dismiss the small amount of people that say otherwise.

If that actually was a major concern, then why have a coffin/burial?

So then, why Paris? Why not London or elsewhere? Jim Morrison had visited the Père Lachaise cemetery multiple times, where he ended up being buried. Strangely enough, he visited it again, only three days before his official “death”. The Père Lachaise cemetery is under tight security. No one would get in there to steal a corpse for identification. Or to open a sealed coffin that doesn`t contain one.
Cremation would have been the absolute safest and best choice to be made.
All odd. I don't think they would have to dig up his body, but if they dug up her body would she be there?

is it possible to take x rays ( or other see through imaging technology) into graves?
if so would there be any way to tell the body in the grave is his?

Cremation wasn't the biggest trend in the seventies...burial was. Then there is the fact that Pere Lachaise is not only a cemetery, it is THE cemetery. Take a look here to get an idea of who is buried there...
Good thing he didn't die in 2011 cause for all we know he could have been buried at sea like...well, ok, never mind...that would be for another thread...

BrokenCircles,
I must apologize as I don't understand the point you are trying to make.
I have stated that Morrison had been checking the Pere Lachaise cemetary for a while. Why would he choose that cemetary?
1 - Tight security preventing remains or a coffin being stolen.
2 - Celebrities are buried there.
To further explain my point, you must understand that Morrison didn't ask such a thing in his will. So it only leaves Pamela Courson. She was very aware that he wanted to be buried there and only her could have taken that decision.
His own father was only noticed after the fact. Being called from a Naval Attache from the Embassy, who mentioned that his son had died of a heart attack in a hospital...as if waters weren't muddled enough...This is not an unfounded claim as it is mentioned in the youtube video linked in the OP where Morrison's father is interviewed.

You sleep with prostitutes, you find out one of them just happens to be JM's wife......do you then go to your local news desk?? Would they take you seriously?

This↓particular detail is important, and significantly weakens the point↑you were making, regarding "Why Paris?".

Since you are claiming that his death was a hoax, his will has no relevance.

What makes you believe that anyone/everyone would know who she is/was?

[color=E6CF93]It's not like they (the Johns) wouldn't know who she is, but after all this time not one of them has ever come forward.
While a regular news desk may not take them seriously I'd be willing to bet that a tabloid would have printed it. I'd bet if someone had slept with her, they would have come forward by now either for the attention, or for money. Neither has happened to date.
