And what does he have to do?!
Corey Feldman will not be attending longtime friend Corey Haim‘s funeral in Toronto on Tuesday. He claims that he wants the event to be a small family gathering out of respect for this friend.
He said:
“In the days following my best friend Corey Haim’s death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me. I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey’s funeral, however, due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey’s funeral on Tuesday a small private affair.”
The service is being paid for by Startifacts, a celebrity memorabilia site that is “donating” $20,000 to cover costs such as transportation of the casket and purchasing a headstone. The funds are available because they are auctioning off his belongings on the site!
And his family okayed that?! The Haims are also asking those who wish to send flowers to the funeral donate to their local cancer ward.
Although Corey Feldman isn’t completely out of the loop. He’s got something of his own coming up!
“I am working with a few people who were close to Corey to put a memorial together within the next month,” said the former child star. “At that time, the media will be invited to honor and celebrate the legacy he has left behind, along with friends, fans and the rest of the Hollywood community.”
Of course they are!
