See and hear Later, the Funeral Service of the Oslo municipality confirmed that Ari Behn would be buried in field 020 of the Our Savior Cemetery.
The artist and author would thus have his final resting place a few meters from great Norwegians such as Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Henrik Ibsen and Edvard Munch.
On Wednesday, the day the deceased artist should have turned 48, the tombstone is in place.
– I can confirm that today there has been a reduction of polls for Ari. It is no accident that today’s date is chosen. It was a private urn reduction with those closest to them present, Geir Håkonsund, a spokesman for the Behn family, tells Dagbladet.

Deserved
When it became known where Behn, who was married to Princess Märtha Louise from 2002 to 2017, was going to lie, the former mayor of Oslo, Fabian Stang, stated that he thought it was great that the artist’s grave was located here.
– In the cemetery of Nuestro Salvador it is both “high and low”. It suits Ari, who was able to see everyone he met, Fabian told Se og Hør in April.
– It was time
Actor and director Bjarte Hjelmeland thought that Behn deserved to rest in the cemetery of Our Savior.
– The cemetery of our Savior has for several generations been a monument to people who have had a great impact in Norway. Ari has had that to a great extent too. Ari has influenced and changed the male role and has challenged our petty bourgeoisie and our relationship with difference. Therefore, I believe that he has earned the honor of resting in the cemetery of Our Savior, Hjelmeland told See and Hear.
