"The head should be transferred to a Catholic Church not what More considered a heretical church."

Same thing with Cardinal St. John Fisher who was put to death on June 22, 1535. He now lies in The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula within the Tower. His body was initially buried in the churchyard of Allhallows, Barking. His head, after being on display for weeks, was thrown into the Thames.

Not sure but it is said that More’s daughter requested to retrieve his head and was granted permission.
