No funeral for Gary Coleman

Gary Coleman will not have a funeral. The late actor will be cremated instead, as soon as his ex-girlfriend Anna Gray – who was named the main beneficiary of his estate in his 2005 will — is able to travel to his home in Utah. This news has upset Gary’s ex-wife Shannon Price – who lived with the actor at the time of his death – because she was named the sole heir in a 2007 handwritten add-on to the will. However, Anna’s legal team expects this additional note to be invalidated because Shannon was divorced from Gary at the time of his death from a brain haemorrhage. Meanwhile, Shannon’s spokesperson has revealed the 24-year-old redhead still plans to celebrate Gary’s life with a memorial service. Shannon has previously admitted she wants to scatter the late star’s ashes on train tracks, but a decision on this will not be made until the wills are clarified.

Cremated?? What, it’s not like he would have taken up alot of room in the ground.
I don’t understand the point of scattering the ashes over train tracks. I see there is some symbolism of why some loved ones being scattered near the sea (being part of the sea, waters…) but why the train tracks? I am confused about what that is the meaning?
anon, it probably means shes nuts. lol.
@ mandee: you are funny!! lol
That train tracks thing kinda sketched me out lol
Why do people go crazy at the time of a death – can’t they just sit down and think it through and maybe think about the deceased might have wanted instead of what they are going to do to get revenge on other LIVING PEOPLE. Let’s get with it and make this world a better place.
Add-on will?? Was it in Shannon’s handwriting?? Me thinks the woman was looking for a WIN FALL………
Perhaps he and/or she believed the train tracks would be a good idea because in doing so he would “travel” to inummerable places. It’s not as romantic when considering it’ll be on wheels but there you go. Just a thought.
