Everyone mum about Bergman funeral plans

It’s the most jealously guarded secret in Sweden.

Legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman wanted his funeral to be a low-key, private affair and his family, friends and neighbors are doing their utmost to keep it that way.

Bergman died last week at age 89. Since then, his family has said only that there will be a small, closed service on the small island of Faro, where Bergman spent his final years in solitude. No date has been announced.

Faro residents were also keeping mum.

“Even if we knew, we would never say,” said Kerstin Kalstrom, a primary school teacher who has lived on the island for more than 40 years. “The people of Faro would never, ever leak.”
