Karl Marx died in London on March 14, 1883, when he was 64, as a result of bronchitis. During his last years he had spent much time at health resorts. He was buried in London’s Highgate Cemetery. Originally, his headstone was nondescript, but in 1954 the Communist Party of Great Britain etched the stone with “Workers of all lands unite,” the last line of The Communist Manifesto, along with a quote from Marx’s Theses on Feuerbach (1845).
