Yes. I suppose if people arent ready to see 'him' then they should wait to tour PP when they ARE ready "Almost all art is trying to become an anaesthetic and at the same time a healing session drawing up the magical electrics.” | |

I feel torn about it. On one hand I think its gimmicky and especially the place where they put it- in the atrium. Making it literally the first thing you see when you go into Paisley now. And how they haven't released images of it- proving it's soley just there as a money-making thing. Personally if they're okay with having it on display, I think they should also release a press image of it too.
On the other hand, I think its good for fans to be able to pay their respects now and have a physical thing to do so to. I just think they could have chosen the placement a little better, I don't like the idea of having it be the first thing you see for some reason that I just can't quite figure out. | |

No, I don't approve but it isn't up to me to decide. I've said my piece and now I'm done. [Edited 10/8/16 11:45am] "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Paisley Park is absolutely where Prince's remains should be. It was his home and he composed so much of his music there. The fact that Prince's final resting place is Paisley Park further cements the status of Paisley Park as being "sacred ground" and should help to sustain Paisley Park as a lasting testament to Prince's legacy. -- Elvis is buried at Graceland. Thomas Jefferson is buried at Monticello. Popes are buried at St. Peter's Basilica. I think that the presence of remains provides a site with a greater level of sacredness and allows the site to command a greater level of respect than if the remains are not present. -- As a Prince fan, I hope that the status of Paisley Park as both a museum and Prince's final resting place will allow for a similar lasting legacy for Prince to exist in the Twin Cities as there is with Elvis, Graceland, and in Memphis. I have visited Graceland. In the Memphis area, Elvis is a part of the fabric of the area and the existence of Graceland as a place devoted to Elvis is a major reason for Elvis's legacy being so prominent in Memphis. There is artwork of Elvis and Elvis memorabilia at the Memphis airport. There is Elvis Week every year. I hope that the same kind of phenomenon can happen for Prince and Paisley Park in the Twin Cities area. -- Since Prince did not leave a known will, I agree that the decision about his final resting place should be left to his family/estate.

Absolutely. Where else would he be? What a gift to us. So generous. And it's what he wanted, I believe. He wanted to be with us. How very wonderful. | |

It's not necessary. Its only intention is to make people emotional. The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days... | |

I agree with it. Fans need to grieve. To say goodbye. I don't argue with people about my opinions. Scram. I said what I said. | |

YES I want them there, as difficult as it is to handle.. this is part of the experience for now at least..
his death is part of this and i just dont think it should be avoided..
but i get that it may be hard for a lot of people
but at least for me.. right now, i think they should be there... | |

I think its a case of..... 1. Would you like Prince to be put to rest at Paisley Park? . | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Knowing that P put so much thought into having Paisley become a museum, I fully support that. However, because it was rushed into opening and many fans still don't have closure, it would have been nice if there were a special area for his remains (protected of course) where those who wished to pay their last respects in a more traditional manner could do so.

Yes!! I was shocked when I found out on opening day but it makes sense to me and I feel it is respectful and where he should be. Like a lot of fam out there feel, where else should he be? And it is not up to us but his family. I feel they made the proper choice and much love to them and everyone who is part of trying to bring to life Prince's vision to share his love and music via Paisley Park!  2 U All"A strong spirit transcends rules." - Prince | |

No!
It is highly inappropiate and I am shocked by the number of fans that seem to be okay with this. Its a tribute, why does his remains need to be on display at a memorial of his legacy? I think his remains should be kept private and within the family. As a fan, I personally would never want to see that. | |

I love the idea and I'm gonna go, pay my respects so I can let it go. And I think it's interesting how for 20+ pages people talked about how upset they were that they couldn't pay their respects and they couldn't say goodbye and now they have a chance and it's a big problem. Very interesting. | |

Great idea, it's where he should be. "First things first, he liked you to stare..."  | |

Didn't Prince say something along the lines of, "The next time we meet will be at Paisley Park"? Doesn't that foreshadow the urn in the atrium? And the detailed emails for what he wanted? I'm seeing a lot of complaining on this site about PP-- Here's an artist who was very private during his life and didn't want to discuss the past or revisit it. In his passing, he's given the fans EVERYTHING to enjoy and reflect on. PP is a celebration of his existence and a gift. | |

If anyone thinks his actual ashes are in the urn, they are sadly mistaken. It is just for show. And nobody is going to question it. | |

Part of me feels Prince should be at Paisley Park but certainly not on display! .

| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Absolutely. And I wouldn't be at all surprised to know that it was part of the explicit instructions P left to his friends and family. | |

If it's not his ashes, then it's not his urn really is it? Let's call it a vase and shake on it The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

And I am sure he wanted to be in the atrium to welcome his guests to his home. | |

The thought of it doesn't upset or bother me. It reminds me a bit of having Elvis buried at Graceland. Though it's not an urn on display inside the home, it is still near to the same thing except for the obvious physicalities of it. In ways I think it's better than hiding it away.

In fact, one could argue that believing in coincidence is more whacky than the alternative...

You think before he died he said to tyka or someone else, 'I want my urn in the atrium'. I just don't see it. The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
