Plans are underway to give ‘Queen of pop’, Aretha Franklin a befitting burial.
According to reports, Stevie Wonder and Jennifer Hudson will be performing at the close family event.
The funeral billed to hold by 10am on the 31st of August at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit, will also see Yolanda Adams and Jennifer Holliday give sonorous renditions.
Public viewings, CNN says, will be held on the 28th and 29th of August at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.
Her body will lie in repose between 9am and 9pm on August 28 and 29, where mourners will be able to attend the open casket viewing at the city’s Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
In a statement following her death, Franklin’s family said: “We have lost the matriarch and rock of our family. The love she had for her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins knew no bounds.”
