Editing Louis de Funès (section)

== Later years and death ==
In the later part of his life, De Funès achieved great prosperity and success. He became a knight of France's [[Legion of Honour|Légion d'honneur]] in 1973. He resided in the [[Château de Clermont]], a 17th-century [[château]] located in the [[Communes of France|commune]] of [[Le Cellier]], 27&nbsp;kilometers (17&nbsp;mi) from Nantes in the west of France. The château, overlooking the river [[Loire]], was inherited by his wife, whose aunt had married a descendant of [[Guy de Maupassant|Maupassant]]. De Funès was an aficionado of roses and planted a rose garden on the château grounds; a variety of rose was named after him: the [[Louis de Funès (rose)|Louis de Funès rose]]. A monument honoring him was erected in the château rose garden.{{cn|date=January 2025}}

In his later years, De Funès suffered from a heart condition after having two [[Myocardial infarction|heart attacks]] caused by the excessive strain of his stage antics. He died of a third heart attack on 27 January 1983, a few months after making his final film. He was laid to rest in the Cimetière du Cellier, the cemetery situated on the Château de Clermont grounds.{{cn|date=January 2025}}
