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.

His ashes are in the urn. neutral

If that's what P wanted then I'll make peace with it, but it wouldn't have been my choice.

I don't believe it was a coincidence. I think there are many others who think the same.

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

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.

Why not?
.

There is just as much evidence to say he did as he didn't...
.

In fact, arguably, there is more evidence to support the positioning of the 'urn' than not, because we DO know that Prince sent very detailed instructions to friends and family about how he wanted things done.
.

Personally, I like the whole idea - yes, I'm sure I'd find it a very emotional experience - but also kind of uplifting: Prince, in the atrium of the place he loved, greeting all of those he had invited over... smile

.
In any case, they're only ashes - his 'real' self is omnipresent... razz

I say yes, not gonna lie, I rather him be there then in some random lake or ocean somewhere. He's home, and he's technically the first person to welcome the vistors into his home without actually saying anything. His spirit is there, and his house is protected. Plus, I heard that you wouldn't even know that he's in that Paisley Park replica unless you ask. It doesnt have a sign that says "This is an urn", but if I'm wrong, correct me. But I would ask you, where would you want him to be if not at Paisley Park? Would you want him inside a dark closet somewhere in the building away from the public? I wouldn't want the urn neglected, especially since he was alone in the elevator.

Do you have a source regarding the "detailed instructions." My hunch is that he did communicate to friends and family what he wanted, I am just interested if you have a source or article with more information about this.

Absolutely YES! I think it might have been better at the end of the tour with an area for reflection before you leave. But, he's home and his remains should be at Paisley Park, no doubt!!

I agree, I like that they have him at the front to welcome the visitors. This is where he should be, in his home front and center. But either way my approval is not what matters. What matters is what Prince may have wanted.

Fans were ranting and raving that they did not have a chance to pay their respects to Prince. They were not invited to any memorials, nor was there a funeral.

Therefore, I believe the family did what they felt was the right thing to do for his fans to pay respect and to allow Prince to be in the place he loved.

I think Prince is exactly where he belongs, there among his doves. Maybe they can move his remains eventually to a private room but they probably felt based on space and the number of fans entering PP, that the spot was the most appropriate.

It is also I believe close to the sealed elevator where he passed so his spirit is floating around there and I bet in that studio.

True. If it's true his remains are there, then yes, he is exactly where he belongs.

I think he would have wanted them there. He loved Paisley and thats why he was there for 30 years.

Sure. I toured Paisley Park on Saturday. It is a fitting/minimal/tasteful display.

-

Also, it's not really "Prince's final resting place," is it? I mean, Prince was/is more than just his skin and bones really. Aren't we all?

-

Prince's voice coming out of your speakers is more Prince than the little box of ash. Does that not give you comfort?

-

Lastly, it's up to Prince's family to decide. Not his fams that feel like his family. Hard truth, but still...

I posted this also in the People mag/urn thread:

Thats the thing tho. He WAS private when he was alive. Or at least one half of his personality was. His lyrics/music were often an open book. And being as spiritual as he was i cannot imagine the placement of his ashes in PP, where he lived loved n created for 30 yrs, would bother him or cause him eternal agony or w/e..I can even perhaps believe that the surprising n unexpected display is fitting of his unpredictable and contradictory nature. If what Tyka says is true, that he felt he had fulfilled his purpose here, then i believe in his Afterlife, this urn placement is an earthly non-issue to him...In fact i dont even believe ALL his ashes are there. If a typical Gemini, like he displayed all his life, perhaps part of his ashes are on display in PP and maybe part are hidden somewhere else, be it within or outside of PP. THAT seems way more fitting...

I'd be curious to see a poll of those who have toured PP vs those that haven't. I have a feeling the responses would be different.

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.

Yes he did say that on his last European tour.

I was thinking the same thing. And damn if he wasnt spot on...he planned the display, if not his actual time of death, n somehow knew he wouldnt b touring Europe again.

No. I think they should be private, and I think the "urn" is ghastly.

I don't mind because it was his home. And no matter what anyone ever says no one will ever know if the material remains are there or not so the urn is symbolic and right that he be at home.
