Patrick Caulfield gravestone, Highgate Cemetery, North London graveyard secures £100,000 of National Lottery funding to help renovations, England UK
Highgate Cemetery, this week it was announced the North London graveyard secures £100,000 of National Lottery funding to help add lucrative new burial sites. Highgate Cemetery is set to charge upwards of £25,000 for burial spots next to Karl Marx's grave. The north London graveyard, a popular tourist spot for fans of the communist pioneer, will erect new graves after securing £100,000 of National Lottery funding to help its conservation work and landscaping. The site, which already has roughly 53,000 burial spots, will now make space near the tomb of Marx - a spot particularly coveted by communists. The 37-acre site, located near Hampstead Heath, is also the resting place of George Michael, George Eliot, Douglas Adams and Michael Faraday. The cost of burial ranges from about £5,000 for cremation plots and upwards of £25,000 for a full grave.
