==Illness and death== [[File:Norra, Ingrid.JPG|thumb|left|Bergman's grave at [[Norra Begravningsplatsen]]]] During the run of ''[[The Constant Wife]]'' in London, Bergman discovered a hard lump under her left breast. The lump was removed on 15 June 1974 in a London clinic. While working on ''[[Autumn Sonata]]'', Bergman discovered another lump, and flew back to London for another surgery.<ref name="MS"/>{{rp|568–569}} Afterward, she began rehearsals for ''[[Waters of the Moon]]'' (1978).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Production of Waters of the Moon |url=https://theatricalia.com/play/3zb/waters-of-the-moon/production/vqd |access-date=16 August 2022 |website=theatricalia.com}}</ref> Despite her illness, she agreed to play [[A Woman Called Golda|Golda Meir]] in 1981, then retired to her apartment in Cheyne Gardens, London, where she underwent chemotherapy. As photographers camped outside on the pavement, she refrained from approaching the front window. The cancer had spread to her spine, collapsing her twelfth vertebra; her right lung no longer functioned, and only a small part of her left lung had not collapsed.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Leamer |first=Laurence |title=As Time Goes By; The Life of Ingrid Bergman |publisher=Sphere Books Limited |year=1987 |isbn=9780722154939 |location=London, United Kingdom |page=396}}</ref> Bergman died in London on 29 August 1982, at midnight on [[birthday effect|her 67th birthday]]. Her ex-husband Lars Schmidt and three other people were present, having drunk their last toast to her hours earlier. A copy of ''[[The Little Prince]]'' was at her bedside, opened to a page near the end.<ref name=":12"/> The memorial service was held in [[St Martin-in-the-Fields]] church in October with 1,200 mourners. In attendance were her children, the Rossellinis, and relatives from Sweden, as well as numerous fellow actors and costars, including Liv Ullmann, Sir John Gielgud, Dame Wendy Hiller, [[Birgit Nilsson]] and [[Joss Ackland]]. As part of the service, quotations from [[Shakespeare]] were read. Musical selections included "[[This Old Man]]" from ''The Inn of the Sixth Happiness'', and "[[As Time Goes By (song)|As Time Goes By]]".<ref name=":0"/> Bergman's grandson, Justin Daly, recalled the event as hundreds of photographers were waiting and taking pictures, when a camera hit him on the head: "In the middle of all this chaos, I could sense that she wasn't just my grandmother. She belonged to everyone else. She belonged to the world."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nolasco |first=Stephanie |date=4 January 2021 |title=Ingrid Bergman's grandson recalls growing up with the "Casablanca" star, how she endured romantic scandal |url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/ingrid-bergman-casablanca-star-justin-daly-grandson |access-date=19 January 2021 |website=Fox News}}</ref> Ingrid Bergman was cremated at a private ceremony attended only by close relatives and five friends<ref>{{Cite news |date=2 September 1982 |title=Ingrid Bergman Is Cremated At Private London Ceremony |work=The New York Times |agency=United Press International |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/09/02/arts/ingrid-bergman-is-cremated-at-private-london-ceremony.html |access-date=24 November 2020 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> at [[Kensal Green Cemetery]], London, and her ashes were taken to Sweden. Most were scattered in the sea around the islet of Dannholmen, near the fishing village of [[Fjällbacka]] in [[Bohuslän]]. The location is on the west coast of Sweden, a place where she had spent most of the summers from 1958 until her death. The remainder of her ashes were placed next to her parents' ashes in [[Norra Begravningsplatsen]] (Northern Cemetery or Burial Place), Stockholm, Sweden.<ref name="James"/>
