Death
Woolf died on 14 August 1969 and was cremated with his ashes being buried beneath an elm tree in his beloved garden at Monk's House, with his wife's ashes in Rodmell, Sussex. (The tree subsequently blew down; Woolf's remains since have been marked by a bronze bust). His papers are held by the University of Sussex at Falmer.
