Upon British actor and director Lord Richard Attenborough's death, the value of his estate and his last wishes were made public via his will. His estate in the United Kingdom was worth approximately £1.5 million, not including the value of any assets held in trust or any foreign assets.
However, his will also revealed that Attenborough requested that his body be cremated.
His wish was that one-third of his remains be placed at his Scottish estate and another third be taken to an estate in France. The final third of his remains he wants intermingled with the remains of his daughter and granddaughter at a church near Attenborough's estate in the UK.
