Thomas Hardy.

Westminster Abbey. Hardy had wished to be buried at Stinsford, close to his birthplace. However, after his death, public outcry demanded that he should be buried in ‘Poets’ Corner’. Faced with this dilemma, his second wife Florence decided that his heart should be buried at Stinsford and his ashes interred at Westminster Abbey.
