Funerals inspired by Oleg Popow

Funerals inspired by Oleg Popow

A colourful farewell filled with personality. Oleg Popow was an artist who made people laugh throughout his life. When he died in his homeland at the age of 86, he lay in an open coffin in a circus ring, dressed in his best-known clown costume. His later burial in his adopted German home of Egloffstein in Upper Franconia also reflected his wish for colour, lightness and joy. Bright flowers, balloons and a deliberately cheerful design accompanied his final journey. The farewell was not silent, but expressed what Oleg Popow represented: joy, humanity and the courage to show emotion openly. For circus lovers, performers or people with a strong passion for the stage and self-expression, we arrange funerals inspired by his example. Distinctive places, unusual settings and personalised grave decorations can form part of a farewell that makes personality visible. The resulting funeral is shaped not only by grief, but by gratitude for a colourful life: a final tribute that moves people and remains in the memory.
