The film world mourns the death of Alain Delon, one of the most famous and influential figures in the history of French cinema. The actor, who passed away at the age of 88, was an undisputed symbol of beauty and talent, capable of portraying complex and unforgettable characters on screen. His will, where Delon specified the location of his future burial, is all the more surprising.
Alain Delon’s private funeral will take place in the coming days. The actor’s children have expressed their grief in a statement:
“He passed away peacefully at his home in Douchy, surrounded by his children and family. The family requests that you respect their privacy during this extremely painful time of mourning.”
One of the most unusual and simultaneously touching aspects of Alain Delon’s will concerns his wish to be buried with his dogs. The actor always had a deep bond with his pets, considering them inseparable companions of his life. In one of his interviews, he clearly expressed this wish:
“I want to be buried with my dogs. I don’t care about anything else; I just want to be with them. They were the only ones who loved me unconditionally, always by my side, asking for nothing in return.”
Delon mentioned that he has a private cemetery in Switzerland where all his dogs are buried. For the actor, the idea of being buried next to them represented a continuation of the bond he did not want to sever even in death.
“There is no purer love than that of a dog. It is a bond that transcends life. I want to be with them because with them I experienced true love,” the actor said.
