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.
Floyd, 46 years old, was murdered by former Minneapolis Police Officers Derek Chauvin and three other accomplices (Tou Thao, Thomas Lane, J Alexander Kueng) while making an arrest for passing a $20 counterfeit bill to a shopkeeper.

With so many struggling financially was it really necessary to have a gold plated coffin for George Floyd’s funeral? Interesting choice to have a closed coffin.
Why lots of people have a close casket what makes his any different because you’re trying to stir up some controversy? That’s what’s wrong with the world today
gold coffin is ostentatious... gangsta like
His coffin is Open at the viewing in Houston.
Please, have some respect for the dead. No one has asked you to pay for or approve of the casket. It's not "fishy" to have a closed casket. Likely his family had a private viewing and declined to have an open casket for the public. But, yeah- go ahead and judge because you know exactly how you would act if a family member had a police officer kneel on their neck until they were dead.....
Why can't we see him.
Because supposedly there is suppressed truth out there that he AIN'T dead!
Wonder what other good things the family of George Floyd will do with all the money people have given them over the last 10 days... $30,000 casket was a great start!
Actually Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin were also buried in the gold promethean model.
Here he is as well for those that wish to see him.

This so amazes me. Are you kidding me? A $25,000 plus casket and the world gives $13 million dollars on a Go Fund Me site! This makes me sick. He was not by any means a choir boy as his family and leaders are making out. He was a thug. And I don't give a damn what color he is or was. Where is the Go Fund Me money for the retired police chief who gave his life while these "protesters" looted, and burned to the ground so many 'Mom and Pop" businesses and beat up citizens and cops? Where's the outpouring for this man who was defending and trying to protect this pawn shop that a friend of his owned? These protests were not about Floyd. They, the protesters could care less about Floyd. This was about the Dems trying to keep this country from recovering from the virus and being shut down and they were looking for another incident to use to their advantage. You want to defund the police? Why? Is it because most police voted for Trump and the Dems want to replace them with their own. If that happens, we will be well on our way to a socialist society and with that you can burn our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I, for one, will take up arms and fight for my country. I am sick to death of the whine of the blacks over everything. Do they know that their "people" in Africa sold their ancestors into slavery and the tribes today of Africa still fight among each other and the winner gets the spoils. In other words, the losers get to be slaves of the winning tribe. My ancestors from Ireland, Scotland,Wales, and England many came to America by way of "indentured servant". Someone in America paid their passage to come to America. If you couldn't speak English, you did not get to come. So before you could secure passage, you had to speak, understand and write English. These "servants" were beaten, starved, women raped. They had no value like the slaves. Most never lived to see their freedom. I don't expect restitution. There are bad cops but they don't just pick on blacks. They pick on the poor and it doesn't matter whether you are white or black or purple. I was harassed by a black motorcycle cop in LA. The racial divide started again with Obama who sank this country into the gutter. Remember when we couldn't say Merry Christmas because it offended the Muslims? Too bad. This country was founded under Judeo-Christian values and beliefs. I have never seen such hatred in this country and I grew up in the 60's and know all about the burning of churches. Remember this, the South wanted slavery to continue, the South and Dems were responsible for the Jim Crow laws and it will be the Dems that want to replace the greatest Democratic Republic in the world with socialism. big government and YOUR loss of the great freedoms you enjoy in this country. Do you think for one minute you could protest let alone burn, loot, kill and beat anyone in China, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela and other Communist and Socialistic places? I think not. If that's what you idiots want, then move to one of the above countries, but get out of my country. Like my ancestors, I will either live free or die for my country and my God!
AMEN SISTER! ❤️
You could use some psychiatric help.
You could use a history lesson!
Patty, well said. Thank you for posting this "push-back" to all the liberal, socialistic, destructive people who seem to be "hell-bent" on destroying America.
Your Kind really are a joke. You wouldn't put on a uniform and fight for anything. You are angry that your life a white privilege is slowly coming to a HALT! grow the Hell up! The protesters
did just what the founders of this country did......they burned & looted! The only difference between cops and gangs, Cops are sanctioned by the city & the gangs are not. Now cameras are revealing what they are really like, thugs! We have no idea what we are on our way to being after 3 and a half years of having a reality TV star as president. The type of slavery you mention
in Africa,was nothing like the brutal slavery that was born in this country. The racial divide started when the first slave set foot in this country....and has been flourishing in some form or fashion every since then. Obama had nary a thing to do with it....another foolish misrepresentation by you.this country was not founded on Judeo-Christian values & beliefs....most of the founding father didn't even believe in a God or religion! Las but not least,The GOP of Eisenhower,Rockefeller, couldn't belong to today's GOP. Those yahoo's hijacked the party after the Civil Rights act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965!.....you need a serious crash course in Civic's & American History. The Biggest threat to this country,is the Orange Menace AKA Cadet Bone Spur or Donald Trump......Sitting in the Oval Office..God help us all.
What did the founders burn and loot? During the Boston Tea Party, no property was damaged, unless you include the tea. The fight for freedom against England was done knowing that if they had lost, they would have been tried for treason and killed. Are these protesters willing to have the same done to them? And don't be trying to put any of this on Trump. This has been going on for decades, and there were multiple "protests" during the Obama administration for the exact same reasons, and look what they accomplished. Nothing. And yes many of the founding father's held strong Christian values. The biggest threat to this country is the liberal media and how it brainwashes people like you, unwilling to do any research and just believe anything and everything they tell you. It is sad and pathetic.
Well said! I am with you on this!!!
