Vita Sackville-West died at Sissinghurst in June 1962, aged 70, from abdominal cancer.
She was cremated and ashes buried in the family crypt within the church at Withyham, eastern Sussex.

Sissinghurst Castle is owned by the National Trust.
Her son Nigel Nicolson lived there after her death, and following his death in 2004 his own son Adam Nicolson, Baron Carnock, came to live there with his family.
With his wife, the horticulturalist Sarah Raven, they committed to restore the mixed working farm and growing food on the property for residents and visitors, a function that had withered under the aegis of the Trust.

The film Vita and Virginia, with Gemma Arterton as Vita and Elizabeth Debicki as Virginia, had its world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.
It is directed by Chanya Button and based on a play by Eileen Atkins, created from the love letters between Sackville-West and Woolf.
The play was first performed in London in October 1993 and off Broadway in November 1994.
