I really hope Tyka doesn't visit this forum. Frankly I find some of the comments here more disrespectful than the arrangement of the urn. No one has to like the urn, so don't visit it. Unbelievable.

I hadn't fucking planned on it but now it's plastered in People and on the internet. I suppose now it'll be said Prince texted that he wanted that too, right? Talk about UNBELIEVABLE!

It's hard to believe but it's happening.

Prince wanting his urn on public display seems very, very unlike him to me. After 30 yrs that is my observation, & I am allowed 2 feel the way I do. I am still shocked about this. Unless this is the borg I am entitled 2 my opinion.

agreed 100% It actually amazes me that people think that every opinion they have is law Some of us think its wrong and thats just how it is.

As far as Tyka reading this site...Im sure she does and Im sure she saw how some of these same folks talked about her like a dog after Prince passed

Tyka revealing what he said 2 yrs ago...and finding out about the urn the other day had me in tears. I/We are allowed our feelings. We've loved the man 4 most of our lives. I don't insult the family or call them names, but some things do not feel right 2 me at all.

Agreed...I think since weve shared a good part of our lives being Prince fans that our feelings do matter regardless of what some want to say. I'll always be saddened about how Prince died and the fact that now it has been revealed that some knew he was dying It just feels wrong.

If they knew he was dying why did they let him die alone like he did? Im sorry u dont let your loved one's die alone

3 decades of studying the man...I can't believe he wanted this. [Edited 10/10/16 19:06pm]

Its truly hard to believe that he would

...so private & classy

He was so private throughout his whole career so why would he want his ashes passed by people daily...not buying it.

PP is where P should be. At least we can pay our respects to him there. I am thankful to the family for

that.

I agree. PP was Prince. He is home and the urn is amazing.

This is jarring, because its not his aesthetics or plan clearly.

Although, someone gave care and effort in their own way to making and sharing it, which is very beautiful and most important I'd like to think. Trying.

I honestly can't imagine Prince having requested this. He had questionable taste sometimes, but he didn't overdo things in this manner.

Does dignity in death mean nothing or is it a free for all because Prince was PRINCE? Do not be fooled into thinking this is anything other than explotative paid promotion & Prince's remains are being used for that purpose. I personally struggle see how that can be justified & I will never be comfortable with even the thought let alone the reality. As I have said before, Prince did not live like a Kardashian, we all know how sacred his privacy was to him - this was OBVIOUS, made starkly clear over & over again throughout his life - it's not projecting to have the belief that Prince would NOT be ok with this. To dismiss all that just because he is no longer here is baffling to me. This is when it matters most to show respect to him.

If the family thought showing the fans the urn would aid their healing process why not post it to their twitter or on facebook?

I also don't think the urn should be on display at Paisley. No one has said that shouldn't be his final resting place but why on earth does the urn need to be part of the museum tour?

Yesterday I saw a clip on facebook of Prince in 2013/14 on stage. Someone is taking his picture & he says something like "please put your camera down, you're not at the circus/zoo" - well now we are & he is the main attraction in this sideshow. Memorial memorabilia, his home the place he died a museum whilst the death investigation is still going on, ex-wife from years ago writing romance novels, so called friends selling anything they can that's connected to him & now the resting place of his remains on display for the world - all this not even 6 months in? It's a freak show & he deserves better than this.

This is PRECISELY how I feel! For all intents and purposes, Prince was music ROYALTY! A true LEGEND in every sense of meaning! And for the most part since his passing, I've kept my thoughts and opinions to myself out of respect for him and all that entails. Yet, while I actually do agree that PP was his home and rightfully should be his final resting place. I could not help but say, "HELL FUCK NO!" about his remains being on display like some damn carnival exhibit.

And now that the pictures were purposely released, every dumbass Tom, Dick, and Jane on the internet that didn't like nor respect Prince has access to them, I simply cannot fathom in the least bit, that's something Prince would have ever wanted, in any way.

So my heart is aching because I am seriously torn and at the crossroad, not knowing what to do nor which way to go. As far as I'm concerned, the absolutely FANTASTIC rollercoaster ride that I've been on for the last 38 years has jumped the track because the true DRIVER is gone!

From my seat, the way I honestly see it. I have two options. I can hold on and try to help the new drivers gain control and steer things in the right direction. Or I can eject myself from this bullshit and land safely in the comfort zone of my memories and compulsive hording packrat-ism--- where I do, can and will--- very HAPPILY kick it with Prince any time I want to.

Decisions...decisions?

I can't help to feel the same. Also the old tour stuff for sale at PP - like leftovers from a meal. I know it is not meant to be that way & they need to raise money, but it just looked so sad. Like a "garage sale" or "yard sale" of the deceased............(but I am being sensitive maybe? Its been a tough couple of weeks for us all)

I didn't even know that. It does sound exactly like a garage sale
