Rik Mayall's Resting Place ?
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Rik sadly passed away on 9/6/2014 aged 56 in his home Barnes London SW13 ONX ( across the river from Chiswick Rugby Club ) after jogging in the humid heat so so sad.
They think it could have been a heart attack but his beloved Wife Barbara thinks it may have been an epileptic fit after developing epilepsy after his serious Quad Bike accident in 1998 resulting in him having to daily medicate after his diagnosis.
Rik's funeral took place on June 19th 2014 at Dittisham the Riverside village in South Devon on the River Dart.The 140 mourners attended St George's Church TQ6 OHS and the funeral service started off with the song
" A Whiter Shade of Pale '
by Procul Harem which was played on the church organ at the end of the service , Rik left in his Wicker coffin covered with red roses followed by his wife three children and his dog to the song
" Brown Eyed Girl "
by Van Morrison .He was then taken 9.8 miles to the Family Farm in East Allington for his burial not far from The Fortescue Arms TQ9 7RA .
However on further research whilst having a few jars in the Ferry Boat Inn (F.B.I.) Dittisham TQ6 OEX which was one of Rik's favourite Locals , I was informed he is infact buried in St George's Churchyard in an unmarked grave to stop tourist / fans from spoiling the ambience of the church and village .
Whose telling the TRUTH ? Anyway I miss this very talented and funny genius.God Bless you Rik ❤️ x
