Am Friedhof Hernals (Gruppe U3, Nummer 74) befindet sich das Urnengrab von Erwin Sochurek. Er war ein langjähriger Fan des Fußballvereins Wiener Sport-Club, dessen Spielstätte, der Wiener Sport-Club Platz, in unmittelbarer Nähe des Friedhofs liegt. Aufgrund dieser Nähe wird die nördliche Tribüne, die dem Friedhof am nähesten ist, Friedhofstribüne genannt.

Aufgrund seiner finanziellen Situation war zu befürchten, dass Erwin Sochurek in einem Armengrab am Zentralfriedhof beerdigt werden würde. Der Verein "Freunde der Friedhofstribüne" startete deshalb eine Spendenaktion, um ihm ein Grab am Friedhof Hernals zu finanzieren. Viele Fans des Wiener Sport-Club, aber auch andere Vereine beteiligten sich an der Spendenaktion.

Der Grabstein und die Umrandung sind in den Farben Schwarz und Weiß, den Farben des Wiener Sport-Clubs, gestaltet.

At the Hernals cemetery (group U3, number 74) is the urn grave of Erwin Sochurek. He was a long-time fan of the soccer club Wiener Sport-Club, whose venue, the Wiener Sport-Club Platz, is located in the immediate vicinity of the cemetery. Due to this proximity, the northern terrace, which is the closest to the cemetery, is called "Friedhofstribüne" (cemetery terrace).

Due to his financial situation it was to be feared that Erwin Sochurek would be buried in a pauper's grave at the central cemetery. The association "Freunde der Friedhofstribüne" (Friends of the cemetery terrace) therefore started a fund-raising campaign to finance a grave at Hernals cemetery. Many fans of the Wiener Sport-Club, but also other clubs took part in the fundraising campaign.

The gravestone and the bordering are in the colours black and white, the colours of the Vienna Sports Club.
