Brando names island as final resting place

Movie legend Marlon Brando reportedly wants his ashes scattered on the South Pacific island of Tetiaroa when he dies, because only two people live there.

Movie legend Marlon Brando reportedly wants his ashes scattered on the South Pacific island of Tetiaroa when he dies, because only two people live there.

The star, who is suffering from congestive heart failure, has told family and friends he doesn’t want to be buried in a Hollywood celebrity cemetery because he detests the idea of becoming a tourist attraction.

And now, according to a Brando family source, the actor has settled on a scattering ceremony on the private island, where his son Simon Tehotu and former partner Teriipia are the only inhabitants.

The island is no longer accessible after the only airline service to the area cancelled its flights at the beginning of the year due to runway problems.
