After two recent hospitalizations, Brigitte Bardot died at home on December 28 in Saint-Tropez. And the former movie star was very clear about what she wanted for her funeral.
Farewell BB.. The legendary French actress, who suffered multiple health problems in recent months, to the point of having been hospitalized twice in Toulon, died on December 28, 2025, her foundation announced. It is up to her husband, Bernard d’Ormale, and those close to her to prepare her funeral. But the movie star already had an idea of what she wanted for this farewell…
Brigitte Bardot’s only request for her funeral
After stopping her acting career in the 1970s to devote herself to animal rights, Brigitte Bardot lived more modestly because her income had inevitably taken a hit. But the star of the films Contempt And The Truth coped with it very well! “I live extremely simply. I have no staff at home, no boat. I don’t like luxury, I like comfort. Wealth disgusts me. I live my life day by day, in a dignified and positive way. I am less unhappy today than then“, she confided, in 2006, in the documentary entitled Brigitte Bardot, the rebellious one.
So there is nothing surprising in the single requirement imposed by Bardot for his burial. “Referring to death, she warned that she wanted to avoid the presence of ‘a crowd of assholes’ at her funeral, wishing for a simple ‘wooden cross’ above her grave, in her garden“, relates Nice-Morning. No opulent tomb for the one who prefers that most of her inheritance go to her foundation to continue her fight for animals.
Brigitte Bardot chose the place of her grave: “I prefer to rest there“
The most famous French actress had also chosen where she would rest for eternity. “I chose a small corner near the sea, which was approved by the authorities. I prefer to rest there than in the cemetery of Saint-Tropez, where a crowd of assholes would risk damaging the tomb of my parents and my grandparents. I want us to leave them alone“, Bardot confided to the newspaper The World a few years ago.
The former actress also owned, in addition to her famous Madrague house, a real local curiosity for tourists, another residence nearby: the Garrigue farm, “a 10 hectare property located on the heights of Saint-Tropez purchased in 1979” underlines Paris Match.
