French actor Alain Delon’s funeral arrangements have been disclosed, with reports confirming that the ceremony will be held at his estate in Douchy, Loire.
The farewell event is scheduled for August 24 and will be attended by Delon‘s three children—Anthony, Anoushka, and Fabien—along with 40 close guests.

Delon had expressed his wishes for a private, low-key funeral, avoiding any national or official ceremonies. In accordance with his desires, he will be laid to rest in a chapel he built about twenty years ago on his property.
The actor will be buried alongside his 35 beloved dogs, a touching tribute to the animals he cherished throughout his life.
However, a notable absence at the ceremony will be Hiromi Rollin, Delon’s caregiver and companion during the last years of his life. Despite their close relationship, Rollin was not invited to the funeral. In fact, Delon’s children had removed the 66-year-old from the family home in July of the previous year.

Rollin reportedly still hopes to attend the funeral and has reached out to intermediaries in an attempt to speak with Delon’s daughter, Anoushka, who said to be blocking her participation. Sources close to the family assert that she will not be permitted to attend under any circumstances.
Alain Delon passed away on August 18 at the age of 88. The legendary actor died peacefully at his home in Douchy, surrounded by his children and family.
