If I die, dress well and cry when it is necessary— Woman battling cancer shares her wishes for when she is gone

Nigerian woman Kate Bassey has shared how she would like people to conduct themselves at her funeral, saying she would prefer guests to dress well and not feel pressured to display excessive grief.

Kate, who is currently battling cancer, made the remarks while reacting to criticism directed at some attendees over their appearance at a recent celebrity funeral.

Taking to Facebook, she explained that fashion and beauty have always been important to her and that she would like those attending her funeral to honor her by looking their best.

According to her, appearing well-dressed should not be mistaken for a lack of love or respect for the deceased.

She wrote:

“When I d!e, I would definitely want everyone at my service of songs/ funeral to dress show up well dressed.

“It doesn’t mean you are not mourning me or love me.

“Fashion and beauty is my love language and d3ath should not change that.

“Even if you appear wretched with tired, swollen eyes…. It won’t raise me from the casket (except a miracle happens).

“So yeah, preferably…. Come correct! Dress well and give me your last respect looking the way you would love to look when hugging me one last time.

“If you don’t feel up to it, I guess it’s ok too. I just don’t appreciate the “dragging” that comes from “mourning police” whenever a person d!es.

“Express grief however you deem necessary.”
