Thanks for all of the responses to my initial posting....
I must admit, having visited John's grave several time, I'd be very very surprised if his ashes are actually intered there....The headstone really is just placed on top of the ground, with no logical place for the ashes to be put. Having seen numerous other places where ashes are intered (my own family members for example), John's headstone really is nothing like a conventional burial place for ashes.
Also, if they were just placed underneath the headstone, somebody,very sadly, would have them away as has happened to numerous other famous people. Personally, I don't believe that they are intered there.
As an aside, for those who haven't been there, the church and it's location are simply breathtaking....a truly fitting place for John to be remembered....You can get a feel for it by viewing some footage on youtube, but really, in reality it is much much nicer.
Peace and love to all...
