Although the exact date of the funeral has still not been set, the family of the artist assures that fans of Jean Lapointe will be able to attend the funeral ceremony which will take place in Montreal.
“That’s what my father would have wanted,” says his daughter, Anne Elizabeth Lapointe.
Jean Lapointe’s entourage is also in discussion with the provincial and federal governments regarding the possibility of holding a national funeral in memory of the man who has established himself as a key figure in Quebec culture since the mid-1950s. A decision to this effect will be made in the coming days.
Jean Lapointe passed away at the age of 86.
