Alain Delon, the iconic French actor, will be honored in an intimate funeral ceremony at his private chapel in Douchy on Saturday, August 24, 2023. Delon, who passed away at the age of 88, specifically requested a private service without any national tribute or political ceremony. His three children, Anthony, Anouchka, and Alain-Fabien, will be in attendance along with a select group of around forty guests, including close friends and family. The funeral will be officiated by Monsignor Jean-Michel Di Falco, honoring Delon's wishes for a personal farewell.
Delon's funeral will take place in the Brûlerie chapel located on his property, where he had expressed a deep connection to the Virgin Mary despite his reservations about religious belief. The ceremony is set to begin around 5 p.m. and will reflect the actor's desire for privacy and intimacy. His final resting place will be behind the altar of the chapel, where he will be surrounded by the remains of his beloved dogs, further emphasizing his love for his pets and the life he cherished.
