the University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute) shortly after Scruton's death, Michael Shindler wrote that "like the Roman guard who would not abandon his post during the cataclysm of Pompeii, the late Roger Scruton stands in lonesome majesty as the artistic tradition's greatest defender athwart modernity’s aesthetic upheaval." Scruton's funeral was celebrated on 24 January 2020 at Malmesbury Abbey, at the presence, among others, of several peers, Conservative politicians and the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán. Following the funeral ceremony, which was presided by the Revd Oliver Stross, Scruton's remains were buried in the Abbey's churchyard.
