A poignant visit to the final resting place of beloved Czech actor, Petr haničinec, reveals a complex story of remembrance, family discord, and a uniquely personal memorial.
Originally from eastern Bohemia, Haničinec spent much of his career in Prague before finding solace in the countryside near the Křivoklát forests during the later years of his life. He and his fourth wife, radka, made their home in the picturesque village of Bratronicy, where he ultimately passed away and chose his burial site.
A Personal Pilgrimage to Bratronicy
A recent visit to HaničinecS grave offered a glimpse into the enduring impact he had on those who knew him, and even those who simply enjoyed his work. “Do you see that tree over there? Péťa liked to look at it from the window…” Radka shared with visitors, pointing to a tree visible from the cemetery. The actor’s final resting place is easily accessible, visible from the gate, and has become a site of quiet remembrance.
Radka has been tending to the grave since mid-September, preparing for the upcoming All Souls’ day. She replaced a standard headstone with a striking white stone heart,a testament to her skills as a trained goldsmith and a deeply personal tribute to her late husband.
Remembering “Good Water” and a Legacy of Work
The actor’s legacy extends beyond his personal life. Visitors have left flowers and tokens of recognition, including a rock reminiscent of the 1982 television series, Good Water, which was recently re-aired. “Sometimes they’ll bring flowers, and someone even put a rock here that reminds me of the 1982 TV series Good Water, which they recently rerun,” Radka recounted, visibly moved. “I’ve already cried several times, and my tears flowed.”
though, the outpouring of public affection is tempered by a painful family dispute. Radka expressed concern that Haničinec’s memory will fade, particularly among younger generations and even some within his own family. “People are pouring in here. Rock friends and colleagues won’t remember. Not even children will come…” she lamented.
A bitter Inheritance Dispute
The actor’s will has become a source of contention, specifically regarding his relationship with his children, Saša, Ondřej, and the daughter known as princess with a golden star. According to reports, Haničinec left the bulk of his estate to Radka. “He’s a scoundrel! Péta bequeathed everything to me, and Ondřej dared to sue me over a used Škoda! He got nothing,” Radka stated, revealing a legal battle.
