George Floyd had a closed casket, his family chose not to show Floyd’s face to the public, on the two funeral services held in the last week. The decision sparked many to arise like Is he still alive? Did G Floyd attend his own funeral?
However, on Monday, George Floyd’s body was laid in an open casket donned in dressed in a brown suit and blue tie.
This could be due to the fact that his family could not see their loved one deceased, easing out the acceptance of death. However, no official statement has been released by Floyd’s family members.

MISS PATTY QUACKENBACH HOW DID YOU KNOW GEORGE FLOYD WAS A THUG?? DID YOU KNOW HIM PERSONALLY. THE COPS STARTED THIS THING THEY ALWAYS DO ITS TIME FOR IT TO STOP. WHAT WOULD YOU HAD SAID IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR DAMN SON
She read his arrest record courtesy of Harris County Clerk of Courts. You're right. Cops did start this thing with his first of nine arrests in ten years.
All colors/races have dealt with slavery hundreds of years ago. No one living today are directly affected by this, yet blacks feel they are owed. Grow up!
I'm white and grew up poor. I lived in a prodominatley black neighborhood and went to school there. We all saw eaxh other as people not as a color. I had no "white privilege". I was just like my black friends. My parents worked hard for what little we had as did our neighbors. Color made no difference. We were a neighborhood who strived to get the children educated so that they could have a better life. We all got along great. We ate with each other, kids played together. We went to Church together. Not once did anyone act like they were owed anything.
Now, all these years later, I had to move back home. Both parents deceased, I live in the house I grew up in. The people here still stick together. Why is it so hard for our Country to live with different races together? Why can't people get along as we do? When I speak with my neighbors of color, they are sickened by the mess the protestors are creating. We ALL know that some cops are bad, but not all of them. We need the police in our communities. Without them, I can't imagine how life would be. We need to show them some respect. They need to show us respect. I've seen whites treated just as badly as blacks. It's not so much a racial thing as it is a respect thing. George Floyd's color didn't matter to those cops. He was fighting them, resisting arrest. I do not believe for a minute that they intended for him to die. But, he did. Sure, they should pay for their wrong doing, but what good is coming from looting and burning shops and stores? I'll be the first to stand by someone who wants their voice heard, but not when you're destroying our cities. We have ways to ensure we get changes made but no one wants to go about it in the right way. We need to stand together and take our Country back. Not destroy it. We must learn to live together and treat each other with respect. We need to learn to respect authority and authority needs to learn to respect us. This unrest is not solving the problem.
24 C gold plate casket? I'm predicting grave robbers within a month.
Yeah ! Sure let’s buy the criminal who might I remind you once held a pregnant woman by pointing a gun at her belly a gold coffin 🙄🙄 and was also a meth head. Did he deserve to die? NO! Does he deserve to be the face for any kind of “movement”? Again a big NO!
The money for the elaborate funeral/casket says nothing and does nothing for the cause. It could have been put towards developing poverty stricken areas (aka the hood), education and building a better tomorrow. Instead of protesting, we all could have come together and gone to these areas to do repairs, help clean up, talk to the residents, ask questions, find out where to begin building with these areas. Instead of demanding what you want, how about asking for what they need. All white people are not assholes and not all black people have a good heart so you can either continue to run your mouth and demand attention or you can take a lead in making a real difference that lasts much longer than a protest. Help create better lives for the very same people you speak of. We get the point now take some action...volunteer, donate, be kind.
Yay Patty- You piss people off as they'd rather live in a Make believe world where they control excuses rather than face the truth. I do not condone Floyds death , but I strongly remind you flipping whimps had Floyd survived his arrest he was on his way back to jail, Court and more than lightly prison! Thw woman who was pregnant he held at gun point , may be a better person than I am- and be very frogiving- however if I was her- I'd be dancing at his death and pissed that the Black race is using him as their go to Poster Boy!! BLM is nothing more than thugs looking for violence which they've proved by not speaking out against all the Black on Black Violence YET! After the Elections, hopefully some decent people will get in Office and go in and take the cities back by the thugs of all colors, as those citizen now have the right sue the Cities, Counties , and States they live in for Failure to protect under the law and Violation of Civil Rights! In the meantime protest on assholes- hope the next innocent person you pull out of a vehicle shoots your ass!
Hey Patty, go eff yourself you moronic racist piece of human filth. I truly hope you die painfully and slowly. That goes for all of you TRAITOROUS Trump nut swingers. You are the most disgusting human scum on the fucking planet. Also, uneducated liars.
Tell you what, you pieces of shit aren't the only ones with guns. Come to my home and talk that shit, I dare you. YOU will be the one getting all fucked up I promise.
Did George Floyd have a closed-casket funeral? I was looking to put an end to all the conspiracy theories by pointing out thousands, including friends and family, saw George Floyd's body at the funeral service and could affirm it was him. But the 2 services were both CLOSED-CASKET according to this information. Why?
The boxer took the previledge of doing go fund me, he could never dream of getting that much money, you have to use it for what you specify it for.
I suspect people from all over the world donated because it is bone chilling to see a person suspected of passing a phoney $20.00 bill be brutally killed by 4 participating police officers.
Wow. A golden coffin for a criminal. What message does it give to others? Be like him, and you might get rewarded by such privilege! Sick and absurd.
