In a recent interview with GQ, Grammy-winning singer Ed Sheeran made headlines by revealing his unique and heartfelt plans for his final resting place. The “Shape of You” artist has prepared a special place in his own backyard, not as a traditional crypt, but as a personal sanctuary. This space holds deep significance for Sheeran as it is intended not only for himself but also as a gathering place for his cremated family members. He believes this initiative stems from witnessing friends pass away without will and the confusion that follows. Sheeran’s unconventional approach to memorializing loved ones has sparked intrigue and conversation.
Sheeran’s inspiration for the chapel and final resting place came from his desire to have a dedicated spot to remember and mourn the loved ones he had lost over the years. He wants his daughters, Lyra and Jupiter, whom he shares with his wife Cherry Seaborn, to have a place to remember him when the time comes. The artist and Seaborn married in 2019 after dating for four years, and interestingly, they had known each other throughout their lives, both hailing from Sheffield, England and reconnecting in New York. Their unique love story was shared during the first episode of Sheeran’s Disney Plus documentary series, “The Sum of It All,” where they reminisced about their first date, a boat ride in Central Park, New York, surrounded by curious tourists.
Ed Sheeran’s unconventional approach to preparing for his final journey and creating a chapel for his family has captured the attention of fans and the public alike. It reflects his deep commitment to preserving memories and ensuring that his loved ones have a place to remember him, showcasing a different side of the renowned musician’s personality.
