Funeral arrangements secured for Antonie Zacpalová

Overview

Antonie Zacpalová, a former jazz ballet dancer, actress, and partner of the late singer Karel Gott, died at the age of 91 in a Prague nursing home. Her death was confirmed by her daughter, Dominika Gottová, and son-in-law, Timo Tolkki.

Following the death, Dominika Gottová, who resides in Finland, reported facing severe mental and financial difficulties. She stated she lacked the funds to travel to the Czech Republic to manage her mother’s belongings and funeral services, noting that she requires funds for her medication and is in a ‘very difficult state.’ Gottová had previously requested financial assistance from Ivana Gottová, the widow of Karel Gott, despite a reported estrangement between the two women lasting since 2019.

While there were initial concerns that the local municipality in Prague 9 would have to organize a ‘social funeral’ because the body was not claimed within the legal 96-hour window, arrangements have been secured. A long-time family acquaintance, Vlasta Ševečková, has stepped in to manage the formalities and pay for the funeral.

Dominika Gottová has announced that she will not attend the funeral service. Due to her current circumstances, the acquaintance managing the arrangements has offered to handle all necessary formalities, allowing Gottová to say her goodbyes privately at a later date when her situation improves.

The situation has drawn public criticism from Jitka Vašutová, a longtime friend of the deceased. Vašutová accused Gottová of being ‘financially exploitative’ toward her mother during her final years, claiming Zacpalová had even canceled insurance due to financial pressure from her daughter.
