Thomas Hardy's funeral was on 16 January at Westminster Abbey in London.
Hardy had wished for his body to be interred at Stinsford in the same grave as his first wife, Emma.
However, his executor, Sir Sydney Carlyle Cockerell, insisted that he be placed in the abbey's Poets' Corner.
A compromise was reached whereby his heart was buried at Stinsford with Emma, and his ashes in Poets' Corner.
