Clive Owen knows where he wants to be buried when he dies - and is considering paying a hefty sum for the privilege already.

The 44-year-old Closer actor wants his final resting place to be at the Highgate Cemetery in north London, near his current home.

He has already received a quote for $18,000 to $22,500 for the burial spot, in the same graveyard where Karl Marx rests.

And Owen is so fascinated with the cemetery, he wants his two daughters to take a trip there to see what it's like.

He says, "(It's) not too expensive. I wouldn't mind being buried there. I've got to take the girls there."
