My wife and I did the VIP tour twice on Nov 4. Having experienced it, I appreciated the opportunity to not just say "goodbye," but also "hello." He left the decision in the hands of his family, so it's not for anyone to judge. He's home in many ways now. Spiritually, and in the building where he was most comfortable, which he built from the ground up. It's a unique tribute and resting place for a uniquely gifted man.

When I get to PP, I will be glad I have an opportunity to not only pay my respects, but to say hello to Prince in his house. | |

Yes, I approve. It was his home andcreative space and he loved it there....his family must have known that. The decision of his resting place is for his family and/or P to make and only them. | |

YES! I can't travel to PP until next summer and I need the opportunity to pay my respects to him at the display when I do the tour. | |

YES! This is where he should be. This is my normal life. These marital standards cannot be recreated with money. | |

He loved Paisley Park very much. I wept the other night while wathing a clip from a concert a couple years ago where he talks about his beloved home. It's where he needs to be, where he should be. That being said maybe it would be better placed in a more quiet, reflective setting perhaps in another area away from all the daily frenzy. It wouldn't necessarily have to be for public display either, but I know lots of people want to pay their respects so give them the opportunity at the conclusion of their tour.

Apart from my personal opinion that the Paisley Park scale model is a cool-looking objet d'art in and of itself — I say, "Meh" in answer to any philosophical or moral dilemma over whether or not the urn should or should not be on display. I seriously do not understand why it is such a big deal one way or the other. Display the remains? Or don't display them? Given the fact that it's impossible to be all things to everyone — regardless of whichever choice the family settled on — they'd be damned if they did, and damned if they didn't. But you can take this to the bank: If all the people who say "No", ever visit Paisely Park they'll be tripping over themselves to get a look at the very thing they disapprove of.

Errr, I’m a bit flummoxed by this question. I suppose I’ll say yes, though it’s CERTAINLY not my place to. I may be missing a few brains cells here and there (ok, I definitely am), but how on earth can I as a mere fan disapprove of the decision to display Prince’s urn at Paisley? Presumably this was either done at Prince’s request, or else at the very least by the wishes of his immediate family. Surely, since I am just a fan, any opinion I may have on the matter is beyond irrelevant.
