Well, it’s about time! BBC: “‘Funeral’ honours Edgar Allan Poe”.

After 160 years, the great American writer Edgar Allan Poe is finally to be honoured with a decent funeral service.

As part of events marking the anniversary, and 200 years since his birth, Baltimore, where Poe died and is buried, will host a double celebration.
