Ingmar Bergman’s last wish will be fulfilled when the remains of his fifth and final wife are transferred to his grave on the Baltic Sea island of Faro.

The families of Bergman and his wife, Ingrid, have agreed on the move “so that the couple can rest together,” Helen Udden, a spokeswoman for the church where Ingrid’s remains are buried, said Thursday.

Bergman -- who directed cinema classics such as “The Seventh Seal” and the Oscar-winning “Fanny and Alexander” -- died July 30 in his home at Faro. The 89-year-old filmmaker was buried at the Faro Church cemetery.

Ingrid Bergman -- not to be confused with the Swedish actress with the same name -- died in 1995. Her cremated remains were buried in Roslags bro, on the Swedish mainland.
