The Surprise! Surprise! star died from a stroke at her villa in Spain in August 2015 after losing her balance and falling while sunbathing, aged 72. Her headstone at Allerton Cemetery carries her name ‘Cilla Black OBE’ above the single word: “Singer”.
The headstone also gives her full name, Priscilla Maria Veronica Willis, nee White, and gives her date of birth and death: May 27, 1943 and August 1, 2015. It reads: “Beloved wife of Bobby, Devoted mother and grandmother. She celebrated life to the living of it and loved to entertain.
” The headstone also features lyrics from some of Cilla’s most famous songs, Step Inside Love, Alfie and You’re My World. Allerton Cemetery, 192 Woolton Rd, Allerton L19 5NF Ken Dodd Cilla Black is not the only Liverpool celebrity to have a grave at Allerton cemetery, with Sir Ken Dodd's remains also being buried there. Sir Ken died on March 18, 2018, aged 90, at his home in Knotty Ash, the same home in which he was born and raised.
He was laid to rest, alongside his mother Sarah and father Arthur, in a private burial service at Allerton Cemetery in Liverpool. The graves of Sir Ken Dodd and Cilla Black were defaced by vandals back in October 2020, who are believed to have scrawled 'offensive' graffiti on their headstones. Sir Ken's headstone had to be removed from his final resting place in order to be further cleaned, while Cilla's headstone was able to be repaired on site.
