    Thanks for posting this, very lovely. I went this year to attend a service for Marc Bolan and to see the plaques in his name, words in memorial book, his rose bush and hand carved bench and many other items in his memory. It's a lovely place. I also saw the Anna Pavlova Urn indoors as shown in this video.

    Thanks for this. I live in west cornwall and have thought time and time again about visiting this place and paying my respects to past heros.
    I will do it most definetly now after watching this video

    I used to see Marc Bolan at Implosion gigs at the Roundhouse. Then, passing here on my way home, I saw his funeral with a flower guitar by his coffin. Couldn't believe it. RIP Marc.

    Thank you for this. Many of the names I know but the one which stood out for me was Marc Bolan. I'm forever a fan. Miss you, Marc. And i'd also like to compliment your choice of music for the video it was very nice and appropriate.

  • @LQUID8R
    @LQUID8R 13 років тому +10

    I found it a bit strange watching this and reading the comments : my grandparents ashes are there, so it's always been a special and personal place to visit, but also a bit odd because of it's almost cult status as a celebrity crematorium ! Still I guess there are lots of places that mean different things to different people. They used to give out a list of the famous people there - lots were described as "entertainers" "musicians" etc, but Marc Bolan is shown as a plain old "70's Pop Star" !

    I visited there the first trip to London. One of the operators showed me around the crypts. He even told me that he could get me a horse drawn hearse for if I wished to be cremated there some day. That's probably my ideal place to be cremated.

    I thought that I recognised the one with the swans. Did you spend any time in the building looking at the multiple storeys of urns sitting on their little shelves?
    When I took a picture of Bram Stoker's urn, the operator fellow told me that he had the same as a desktop picture on his computer.

  • @SuzLa1
    @SuzLa1 13 років тому +1

    Don't people who are cremated usually have their ashes taken away by relatives to be taken to another place that they like? I was wondering why they were pointing to the grass for Sid James? Is it just a sign for him?

    • @60toodles
      @60toodles 7 років тому

      no not all. lots are starting too now which i think is the best thing but plenty just have their ashes scattered on the grass at a crematorium or have the urn buried.
