  • 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

    Rik, you gave us so much and we're a kind hearted soul beneath the the bravodo. That resonates with me... You and Ade truly helped me through so many hard times and helped me laugh at life. Total legend gone too soon but always a place in my heart. Well done my friend xxx

    I saw Ben Elton and Rik in the mid-80s, each doing stand-up in Byron Bay, Australia. The room was called The Piggery (an homage to its origins), and it was the music venue within the Arts Factory. It was little more than a stage and 150 people standing about drinking, but what a night. Ben did a frantic hour before Rik came on as "Rik" for an hour, then finished the show as himself. Tickets were as cheap as a beer - pretty sure they were $2 - and I still cannot believe that it happened.

    Just to be clear, Rick is NOT buried at St George’s Church in Dittisham Dorset it’s where his funeral was held. I found this out after watching this video, booking a cottage for a week and going visiting St George’s to pay my respects to Rik, only to find out his grave is not there, it is at his family’s farm. So in a way, through my tears of sorrow as I stood in the graveyard, Rik had something to laugh about. God bless him, always missed, always making us laugh and smile. X

    Hiya Jonesy I agree with you , all they have to do is place a collection box near the church entrance with a sign saying something like " All donations for Rik Mayall will be given to the Vicars family for his Sunday Dinner and a few well earned pints at The Ferry Boat Inn to spread the Lords Prayer " the box would be overflowing and the Vicar would be so happy .They should all hang their heads in shame 🍺🍺🍺

      This is what the mystery is about the whole Death of Rik. There are many theories
      1. Rik was cremated
      2.He's buried at the family Holiday home on Pasture Farm East Allington Totnes.
      3. He is buried in an unmarked grave at St Georges Church

      gedanded I said “knob not cock”. Cock would have been crude, knob is fun. I have loved everything I have seen Rik Mayall do for 40+ years. I think it’s how he would have wanted to be remembered, if you disagree please feel free to watch Rik, on set filming his last roll, days before his death... th-cam.com/video/56Bm74rzFFc/w-d-xo.html Other than that thanks for the upload. It’s good to know he is in a beautiful place. Even though I now live in Australia and never met the man in person, I still think about Rik regularly. I often think about his joke about how he would be remembered I. The Young Ones... “The People’s Poet”. That might have been a throwaway gag, but to people my age he was a legend, his characters breathed confidence and absurdity into an entire generation.
