[Warning: I have not looked at this, but typesetting was terrible until recently (perhaps the 90s), so brace yourself for old typewriter print and handwritten equations.]

His ashes will be interred in the Abbey in a ceremony "of thanksgiving" to be held later this year.
He will be in good company. Sir Isaac Newton was buried in the Abbey in 1727. Charles Darwin was buried beside him in 1882. More recently, the physicists Ernest Rutherford in 1937 and Joseph John Thomson in 1940 have been interred there.

Dr. Hawking often said that he wanted a formula describing what is called Hawking radiation ... engraved on his tombstone. One hopes that the Abbey will follow through.
