I'm still so thankful the family decided to share the photo of Aretha in her casket (red dress). Although we're not fans, after so many years of being adoring fans, we too need closure and the chance to say goodbye. Ms. Franklin's family did it the right way for her fans. THANK YOU.
I knew Aretha. My dad was a social worker in the '60s and early '70s working for the Detroit Civil Rights Commission. We used to hang out at New Bethel Baptist just to listen to some good music when I was in kindergarten. Last time we saw each other was when Granholm was sworn in as governor of Michigan on new year's day 2003.
There are some all time greats buried in Woodlawn from David Ruffin, Levi Stubbs, The entire Fords family , Rosa parks. Even the dodge brothers & many many more what a great cemetery
Thank you I was wondering where hers siblings were located to Aretha and father. So sad all the siblings died soo young! Aretha should be honored for her devotion to her family and took care of her siblings! God Bless!
Thanks for posting your two visits. Loved seeing Sister Carolyn's crypt ("Ain't No Way" ♫ ♪ ♫). Have to envy Gary Michael Tomic for scoring the couch crypt next to The Queen ♥♥♥
RIP QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN🙏🙏💞💞 GONE BUT NEVER EVER EVER EVER WILL BE FORGOTTEN YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN OUR HEARTS❤❤❤❤❤❤ GOD LOVES US ALL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's nice, but if you were home by yourself, one night, and it was thundering and lightening and Aretha Franklin started singing to you .... you'd jump out the window. HOPE YOU ON THE FIRST FLOOR... ijs
@@lumberjack297 Honestly, I would be shocked, but absolutely thrilled! If Mozart would like to make an appearance, he is welcome too. Oh what a wonderful fantasy!
oh. well... god bless you, Ms. C. anybody "visiting" me... I'm gett'n da hell up outta there. happy Halloween... (sounds like YOUR time of year).... just joking. (xoxoxo)
Amen to that comment my friend 👋!!!! Ignore those disrespectful 😡 posts ok, I got your back on this one ok?!!! My mom named me after her, because she has been a fan of hers since high school 😀 wow!!!!! My mom is also a breast cancer survivor 👍!!!! She just turned 81 years old this month 😀👏👏👏👏👍!!!! I miss the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin 😢💔👼 so much, because she passed away on my late grandmother's birthday in 2018, August the 16th👼😢💔🌹. Take care of yourself and your family during this coronovirus pandemic 😷 ok. Peace out from Bunn NC.✌👋!!!!
@@arethawhite3712 How wonderful to be named after Aretha! I am a music teacher and her talent has always amazed me. Give your mom my best wishes. She sounds like an incredible lady that has earned a lot of "RESPECT" in her lifetime!
Robert Kelly... Who Is They? A Mortician? I Would Suspect, A Mausoleum Would Be Cared For, Equipped With Air Condition -Etc. Many Famous People e.g. Michael Jackson, Aretha’s Franklin Whole Family...Chose A Mausoleum Vs. Cremation or Underground. Underground Has It’s Own Cons e.g. Coffin Bugs, Effects Of Weather, Etc. Besides, The Use Of A Mausoleum Has Been Around Since Ancient Times e.g. Israel. I Would Suspect, Being Laid To Rest In A Crypt Is Very Expensive -Too. I Was Just Thinking Out Loud...And I Would Prefer To Never Die -Eh. Blessing To You And Yours!!!
@@darm.8172 You'd probably change your mind about that after you turned 200, yes old, couldn't walk, see, wipe, yourself. And all of your family and friends would be long gone. I've seen movies like this, it was sad. My Granny use to say that...My Mom said it was selfish.
Very touching. Although her body viewing, was not expected to go viral, on the net, apparently it caused sadness, for one of the young family members, and for that I am sorry. Seeing her at rest, and entombed, has thousands, of long time fans, feeling that was our chance to say farewell, to one of the most, at rest view, ever seen. My prayer is, the family will let us rejoice with them, and God will smoothly, remove their hurt, and clear our minds, allowing us to again, enjoy the peace we felt, viewing the photos. May we soon get us back to remembering love, and thanks, for a beautiful soul, our Queen!
The only person that's not buried with them is the mother. But I believe she's buried in New York, since that's where the franklin family lived a long time ago.
There seem to be another spot next to Aretha also. She do have two special need sons I am told. One goes in with her and the other next to them. Knowing Ms Diva she would have had put something in place for those two. Her two oldest sons. Smart woman! Miss her
Michael Keller I was wondering the same thing. With the way that her name is written, I'm sure that it's a Franklin. Maybe her sister or hopefully they'll move her mom there.
@@TeeTee-2016 When it comes to her own siblings (I don't know about the half-sibling), her other brothers and sisters all passed before her. This spot could be reserved for a Franklin, but it most likely will be for a son or grand child.
who is the women buried with her father.?. and there is enough room next to Aretha for another casket will anybody be next too her.?. as I do not believe she had any children.
I wonder who is going to be interred next to her it looks like a double plot or tomb or whatever it is referred to looks to me like someone another Franklin may be placed next to her?
She has two special needs sons I am told. She would have had something in place for them. One goes in with her and there is also another place next to hers.. the other son goes there. Smart Woman
DON'T GET ME WRONG BEAUTIFUL SERVICE, BUT REALLY WAY TO LONG TO MANY SPEAKERS SHOULD HAVE LIMIT 2 MIN,TO MANY SINGERS CARRYING ON PEOPLE LEAVING, SLEEP REALLY 2 HOURS IT'S ALL THAT WAS NEEDED TO EULOGY AREATHA FRANKLIN
Videos are available here on UA-cam by Kari Northey's channel under her name (from Michigan) and Caitlyn Doughty's channel Ask A Mortician that explain how mausoleums are constructed.
Thanks for sharing but with the money she had so generic. I would've had mine just me and my family only. No pictures just generic as hell and mixed with unknown people......realllly Reatha 😶🙄
David Phenix It's her money to do as she please, no one cares what you think. When your time comes, it is as you pleases. Tend to what you want for you, not someone else stuff.
You never forget PEOPLE THAT WAS INFLUENTIAL IN SOCIETY ...I BET YOU WANT BE REMEMBERED AFTER 10DAYS AFTER YOU DIE.... THERE ARE PEOPLE STILL GRIEVING ABOUT HER NOW... LIKE ME... SO MAKE YOURSELF GREAT AND MAYBE SOMEONE WILL REMEMBER YOU IN THE NEXT YEAR HOMIE
I am glad I was able to and grew up listening to her music all these years. You were an American Icon. And blessed to hear you sing.

You are being a racist person get a life
I report hate speech. You know who you are.Get a life.
That’s was a stupid post get a life
Not only that, but they let the public view her corpse in her open casket and pay their respects to her for a whole week! That was very kind of them.
Gone, but never to be forgotten.Thank you, Aretha, and may you rest in peace.

ARETHA FRANKLIN REST 🌟🌈 LEGEND TRULY ICON QUEEN ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
Strange no amount of money can save you from death.
I would be so fucking scared wondering around there by myself
She's finally home at Woodlawn Cemetery here in Detroit, R.I.P Queen Of Soul. We Love You..!!! The World Love's You.....
Her sister n brother died back to back. That must have been painful.
With her family
YES INDEED
Amen
Check out the teaser trailer . RESPECT 2020 . Gave me chills .
American graveyards are huge unlike the small sometimes unkept in the UK
RIP Aretha
Thank God that Talent didn't go in Grave.
THANK YOU JESUS.
My brother is burried at that grave sight
Thank you.
This Is How I Want My Shell To Lay In Wait. I Do Not Want To Be In Dirt, Nor Fire.

You'd probably change your mind about that after you turned 200, yes old, couldn't walk, see, wipe, yourself. And all of your family and friends would be long gone. I've seen movies like this, it was sad.
My Granny use to say that...My Mom said it was selfish.
Wow that would've been dark by the time Aretha's funeral procession arrived.
Mrs Matt Murphy it was dark.
It was very dark when she got to her resting place.
It was very dark, but Woodlawn stays open for high profile burials. Rosa Parks was the same way

WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOUND,NOW I HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHAT ITS LIKE NOT TO BE ABLE TO HEAR.
Is it the body was buried In the wall or just the body Ash? Why the grave is like buried In the wall....
Rest in Peace
Somebody else is probably going in there too
The only person that's not buried with them is the mother. But I believe she's buried in New York, since that's where the franklin family lived a long time ago.
Question:
It appears as if there is a space beside Aretha. Who is going in the space beside her?
That's exactly what I was thinking appears whoever it is for is another Franklin family member
More than likely it's for any family member people usually buy extra plots for those who cant afford it well at least in my family that's how its done
There seem to be another spot next to Aretha also.
She do have two special need sons I am told. One goes in with her and the other next to them.
Knowing Ms Diva she would have had put something in place for those two. Her two oldest sons.
Smart woman! Miss her

My Mother is correct! There is no life in the cemetery or within the mausoleum.
My school was Learning about Rosa parks they was whaching a video about her and they what to know where Rosa parks was. Buried
who is the women buried with her father.?. and there is enough room next to Aretha for another casket will anybody be next too her.?. as I do not believe she had any children.
A commentary would be nice.
WHEN YOU DIED, YOU SUPPOSE GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM. BACK INTO MOTHER EARTH.
To each their own
Where is mother Franklin Buried?
Her mother is buried in Buffalo, Ny
With her husband I think they moved her body to this cemetery
Every one's die sooner or later death don't care how old you are or how rich or poor you are like they say can't take it with you
You can go to find a grave and it will tell all of her family who is passed and their graves
Thanks
Who will be sharing Aretha's crypt? It's a double so I couldn't help but wonder when she was first laid to rest.
WHO IS THAT BURIED NEXT TO ARETHA FATHER
I wonder who is going to be interred next to her it looks like a double plot or tomb or whatever it is referred to looks to me like someone another Franklin may be placed next to her?
Yes and it has Franklin in the middle of the marble slab and a vacant spot on the right for another name?
She has two special needs sons I am told.
She would have had something in place for them.
One goes in with her and there is also another place next to hers.. the other son goes there.
Smart Woman
@@joycebrown1413 Goodmorning, she only has 1 son with special needs
I wonder where their mother is buried?
New York
I wonder who's going in along side her??
You are!
@@JOSH3183 So damn rude 😡 STFU asshole!!! With your disrespectful ass!!!! 😒😡!!!!!
Creepy!😱
Not creepy, at all. Death is a part of life. The inevitable.
I also intend to visit the Queen, when I am up that way.
Aaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhh 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Isn't Rosa in the same building
DON'T GET ME WRONG BEAUTIFUL SERVICE, BUT REALLY WAY TO LONG TO MANY SPEAKERS SHOULD HAVE LIMIT 2 MIN,TO MANY SINGERS CARRYING ON PEOPLE LEAVING, SLEEP REALLY 2 HOURS IT'S ALL THAT WAS NEEDED TO EULOGY AREATHA FRANKLIN
Yes Aretha needed all of it. In our eyes she was the queen.
where is her mother?
In NY
SHUT UP TROLL!
Creepy
How do all the bodies fit into those tiny spaces?
Coffin goes in long ways. It's deep inside that wall.
@ llani priskash...that space is not small it is very wide....just UA-cam it....the in side of entombed... and you should see
Videos are available here on UA-cam by Kari Northey's channel under her name (from Michigan) and Caitlyn Doughty's channel Ask A Mortician that explain how mausoleums are constructed.
das nicht gesprochen wird: nicht schlimm. Hätte ich mir e übersetzen können..Gut zu wissen, wie man hin kommt..Sie ruhe in Frieden! ("RIP!")
It’s so plain ugh 😑 she Queen of soul mane !!!
She's a dead body now, so it should be plain.
paris love no I want over the time crystals diamond lots of flowers pics this is the Queen of soul
i was thinking tbe same thing . I thought she would have a private estate but she's humble. May the queen rest in peace .
Thanks for sharing but with the money she had so generic. I would've had mine just me and my family only. No pictures just generic as hell and mixed with unknown people......realllly Reatha 😶🙄
I am assuming Aretha had to get what was available at the time of purchase these unknown people bought plot before her
Where's her mother???
Aretha Franklin's mother Barbara Vernice Siggers Franklin
Is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, Erie County, New York
Her parents were divorced.
@@AKADAWNTV thanks. do you find it strange that she didn' have her moved with the family

Not your business, not your money so shut the f..k up. Yes you hit a nerve.
Oh no did I hit a nerve no one's going to give a crap about her in 10 years
