Scott Gries/ImageDirectApparently, there really was an Eleanor Rigby, and you can now purchase her grave if you'd like to be buried with her.
In Britain, when someone is buried, they have right to that space for 99 years. Eleanor's grave was originally purchased in 1915. Now that the rights have expired, nobody can be buried in that site until someone purchases the rights to it.
Also being auctioned off is the original handwritten score for the song, signed by George Martin and Paul McCartney.
