===Death=== [[File:DH Lawrence floor stone, Westminster Abbey.jpg|thumb|D. H. Lawrence's memorial stone in [[Westminster Abbey]], London]] Lawrence continued to write despite his failing health. In his last months he wrote numerous poems, reviews, and essays, as well as a robust defence of his last novel against those who sought to suppress it. His last significant works were ''Apocalypse'', a reflection on the [[Book of Revelation]], and ''Are Men of Today a Success?'', a posthumous contribution on the feminization of modern society.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-02 |title=Scribner's, Vol. LXXXVII, No. 6, June, 1930 {{!}} D.

Frieda commissioned an elaborate headstone for his grave bearing a mosaic of his adopted emblem of the [[Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix]].<ref>Squires, Michael (2008) ''D. H. Lawrence and Frieda.'' Andre Deutsch</ref> After Lawrence's death, Frieda lived with the couple's friend [[Angelo Ravagli]] on their [[Taos, New Mexico|Taos]] ranch and eventually married him in 1950. In 1935, Ravagli arranged, on Frieda's behalf, to have Lawrence's body exhumed and cremated. However, upon boarding the ship he learned he would have to pay taxes on the ashes, so he instead spread them in the Mediterranean, a more preferable resting place, in his opinion, than a concrete block in a chapel. The ashes brought back were dust and earth and remain interred on the Taos ranch in a small chapel amid the mountains of [[New Mexico]].<ref>Wilson, Scott.
