At the cemetery of North York in Toronto, this burial in the Russian sector stands out among the others. Beneath the cross rest Olga Alexandrovna Romanova, Nikolai Alexandrovich Kulikovsky, and Tikhon Nikolaevich Kulikovsky. The cross bears an inscription where the letters E.I.V. stand for "Her Imperial Highness". For those who do not understand, there is also an English version: "Her Imperial Highness".
The inscription on the stone briefly recounts the wanderings of Olga Alexandrovna and her familial ties to the royal houses of Europe. She was a cousin of Elizabeth II. The last line, written in italics, reads: "The Last Grand Duchess of Russia".
