family vault IN southern Cali
sornia near Los Angeles. as a
linal resting place for the late
screen star.
She also expressed a desire, Ull-
nan said, that Valentines body
be cremated.
UlIman stated that he had re.
hlied to this request by saying 1t
was impossible because funeral
services for Valentino are to be
taid In a Roman Catholic church.
Before Valentino died he received
holy communion, and there were
Two Catholic priests at his bed
tide when the end came.
The funeral services are to be
held Monday at st. MalachiE
church in this city, the famous
Factors church.
Several years ago, Unman re

Rambova were discussing the sub
lect of cremation and, he said
Valentino laughingly made the fol
towine remark:
when die I'd like TO be ere
mated and have my ashes scat
tered to the winds"
But, according to Ullman, Valen
tino did not mean what he said
ut that time-he was joking.
