Designer Chanel and Fendi shared plans for their own funeral less than a year before death. In April 2018, the couturier gave an interview to the fashion publication Numero, in which he mentioned his wishes regarding the burial. According to the will of Karl, his body is cremated, and the ashes mixed with the dust of his mother.
The designer foresaw the fate of his cat Chupette in case the animal dies before it. Lagerfeld wanted the favorites to be burned and mixed with the cremated body of the owner. However, the cat survived Karl.
The blue-eyed Chupette was a constant companion of Lagerfeld and a true celebrity. In a personal Instagram, Chupette broadcast her luxurious lifestyle. The cat starred in advertising campaigns, and ordinary fashion models could envy model fees.
