Douchy: The Final Farewell to Alain Delon
Douchy: The Heartfelt Farewell
Just four days after the passing of Alain Delon, France prepares to say goodbye to one of its cinematic icons. The funeral will take place this Saturday, August 24th, at Douchy, where he lived for nearly fifty years. In accordance with Delon's wishes, who requested no national tribute or political ceremony, he is set to be laid to rest beside his 35 dogs in a chapel he constructed approximately twenty years ago next to his home.
Bishop Di Falco to Lead the Ceremony
Bishop Di Falco, a well-known figure in the French church, will officiate the funeral services. He respects Delon's request, stating, 'It is his desire.' Di Falco, who had known the actor for a long time, acknowledged Delon's profound faith, which he spoke of during a 2018 interview, professing his 'crazy passion' for the Virgin Mary.
A Private Ceremony
True to Delon's request, the ceremony will be held in the strictest intimacy. Only Delon's three children, Anthony, Anouchka, and Alain-Fabien, along with about forty invitees, are expected to attend the service at Douchy. Notably absent may be Hiromi Rollin, described as Delon's companion, who has not yet received an invitation amid ongoing family disputes.
