London's acclaimed Westminster Abbey has announced that Hawking's ashes will be interred in the legendary church that is the final resting place of so many great scientists, and very close to some of the major names.

"It is entirely fitting that the remains of Professor Stephen Hawking are to be buried in the Abbey, near those of distinguished fellow scientists," the Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr John Hall, said in a statement Tuesday.
