About this experience
A farewell like Zsa Zsa Gabor
Farewell, my love. Zsa Zsa Gabor, also known as "the first diva", paved the way for famous personalities such as Madonna and today's Kardashians. Her burial was as unconventional as her life: the urn containing her ashes was placed in her Shih-Tzu Macho's Louis Vuitton dog carrier. The funeral service took place at the "Church of the Good Shepherd" in Beverly Hills, surrounded by enormous floral tributes and portraits of the late icon. Her widower, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, also commissioned three memorial billboards beside the huge 405 highway, where five million people could see them each day. During the Catholic ceremony, hymns were sung, prayers said, communion wafers distributed and incense burned. Her widower then gave a lively, unscripted speech about Zsa Zsa lasting around half an hour. Contrary to early expectations, the diva's urn was laid to rest not in Hollywood but in her birthplace, Budapest, because Frédéric von Anhalt said it had always been Zsa Zsa's wish to be buried with her father. If this unusual ceremony, Zsa Zsa Gabor's form of burial or a particular feature such as the highway memorials appeals to you, please contact us by phone at any time for personal advice.

Translated from the original German
"It is difficult to find a funeral director willing to care for a four-legged companion who has died. From the first contact and the cremation through to the keepsake: thank you."
