He was buried in his grave in the garden of Uzza; and his son Josiah succeeded him — Amon receives burial in the garden of Uzza (גַּנּוֹ־עֻזָּא, *gano Uzza*), the alternative burial location used also for Manasseh. The succession of Josiah marks the transition to Judah's final reformer, who will attempt to reverse the apostasy established by Manasseh and continued by Amon.
