The Dean was abroad at the time, and telegraphed his cordial acquiescence.
The family had desired that my father should be buried at Down: with regard to their wishes, Sir John Lubbock wrote:--
HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 25, 1882.
MY DEAR DARWIN,--I quite sympathise with your feeling, and personally I should greatly have preferred that your father should have rested in Down amongst us all. It is, I am sure, quite understood that the initiative was not taken by you. Still, from a national point of view, it is clearly right that he should be buried in the Abbey. I esteem it a great privilege to be allowed to accompany my dear master to the grave.
Believe me, yours most sincerely, JOHN LUBBOCK.
W. E. DARWIN, ESQ.
The family gave up their first-formed plans, and the funeral took place in Westminster Abbey on April 26th. The pall-bearers were:--
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK, MR. HUXLEY, MR. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL (American Minister), MR. A. R. WALLACE, THE DUKE OF DEVONs.h.i.+RE, CANON FARRAR, SIR JOSEPH HOOKER, MR. WILLIAM SPOTTISWOODE (President of the Royal Society), THE EARL OF DERBY, THE DUKE OF ARGYLL.
The funeral was attended by the representatives of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, and by those of the Universities and learned Societies, as well as by large numbers of personal friends and distinguished men.
The grave is in the north aisle of the Nave, close to the angle of the choir-screen, and a few feet from the grave of Sir Isaac Newton. The stone bears the inscription--
CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN.
Born 12 February, 1809.
Died 19 April, 1882.
