Thomas Hardy

Author of Far from the Madding Crowd, The Return of the Native, Jude the Obscure, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, among others. I guess I've never seen a photo of him before.

He's one of those people whose body parts were separated after death:

His funeral was on 16 January at Westminster Abbey, and it proved a controversial occasion because Hardy and his family and friends 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 famous Poets' Corner. A compromise was reached whereby his heart was buried at Stinsford with Emma, and his ashes in Poets' Corner.
