AFAIK he's survived by 2 more half sisters, Sharon and Vivian, 3 half brothers, Omar, Alfred and John Jr, 2 nephews, Sir and President. Probably a bunch of cousins and stuff I imagine.

I don't know how many of them attended since I probably wouldn't recognize them.

Oh Good- glad to know he has a good bit of family left- I saw that Mayte was going to Chanhassen but I haven't seen any reports of her there. Wish it would have worked with them. I think they made a nice little family/ couple.

Yes. A private funeral for his loved ones. They deserve to have that and mourn privately. We have to respect that.

The memorial as you said is another story. That will be open to the public and industry people who want to pay their respects. I'm sure it's gonna be huge.

No idt she was there. I think that was his assistant Meron Bekute. They look similar though.

I'm upset to be left out.
I thought something would be televised. He was big enough.
Logged in to say that. After years.

I'm angry about a lot of stuff regarding his death. When I lost Selena as a kid, she needed a blood transfusion after being shot. Her parents refused. I was so paranoid this would happen when he converted and then when he needed that hip replacement. Now look.

It's all so quick secretive and fast. The only way I can forgive this is if it's a hoax. So I'll just stay mad then.
No matter the ©️, Paisley Park "official can never ™️ prince. He gave that to us verbally on Oprah in 1996. You can't take prince away from us, corporate. I mean O ( + >

Did Wendy & Lisa not say in past that Prince was like a brother to us? Hopefully all will be at the memorial.

shhh

My mother died a few years ago, and wanted to be creamated. It was done within 2-3 days. You don't have to let remains linger for days or weeks just to satisfy the needs of anyone else to letitgo. Once a memorial service happens, there's no need to leave a body on indefinite suspension. It's right because it's how the Nelson's decided to handle this.

They sure weren't going to parade a big purple coffin out at the Target Center for a circus the way they did MJ's public memorial.

cremation sad


Has this been confirmed? I'm one of those people that hates cremation.

I hope he gets buried. Burial seems so much more natural.


Keep in mind that I'm speaking as an agnostic so forgive me if I'm missing something in your opinion. But cremation just speeds up the "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" part. Barry White was cremated [as requested in his will] and his ex-wife released those ashes at one of Barry's favorite vacation resorts.

My point is that I think Prince may have wanted his ashes to be sent somewhere on planet earth. hmmm

Maybe it was Prince's wish. Most people state in their Will whether they wish to be buried or cremated. Let's respect that.


Whether it was P's wish or his family's, it is not our place to critcize such an intimate decison.


I strongly agree with BOTH posts. nod

Cremated already sad But it's Sunday, that's the right day. The day of Rest.


Wrong! THAT would be Saturday, the 7th day of the week, as in the 7th day Sabbath. But that's another thread for another day.

Staying on-topic, I'm also thinking "damn", the body has been cremated so quickly! eek hmmm

I'm not an agnostic and I, and most members of my friends and family, all agree that we prefer cremation over the burial process. Having been through too many viewing of bodies, in particular having to handle my mother's burial, it is too unnatural and hard on loved ones who remain. I, too, wish to be cremated with little ceremony. I decided that years ago... I totally understand what Prince wanted.
