Shakespeare was buried (1616) in the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-on-Avon. The grave carries the warning: "Good friend, for Jesus' sake forebeare, To digg the dust enclosed heare; Bleste be the man that spares thes stones, And curst be he that moves my bones."
His wife Ann Hathaway, his daughter Suzanna, his son-in-law Dr John Hall, and Thomas Nash (the first husband of his grand-daughter Elizabeth) are buried in the chancel alongside him.
