Final answer:

The grave with the inscription mentioning Anne as the wife of the departed on August 6, 1623, in Stratford is that of Anne Hathaway, William Shakespeare's wife.

Step-by-step explanation:

The grave in Stratford that says, "Heere lyeth interred the body of Anne wife of" him "who departed" August 6, 1623, belongs to Anne Hathaway, the wife of William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway were married in late 1582, and Anne Hathaway spent the rest of her life in Stratford after their marriage. The phrase "Heere lyeth interred" marks her final resting place.
