Shannen Doherty Reveals Who She Doesn't Want at Her Funeral

Shannen Doherty's being honest. The 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star opens up on her 'Let's Be Clear' podcast about the people she doesn't want to attend her funeral. Shannen, who is currently undergoing treatment for stage 4 cancer, has the 'morbid' conversation with her best friend and executor of her will, Chris Cortazzo.

I'm with her. I don't want a public funeral or viewing. If they didn't care enough to see me when I'm alive they don't need to see me dead

[denisemarie]

Rest in peace, sweet girl! You showed 1000 kinds of bravery helping people like myself going through stage four cancer. Now we’re lost without you.

I remember in junior high writing a fan letter to Shannon Doherty. I got her address out of a book that had a bunch of address’s so people could send fan mail to their favorite movie star. A few weeks later I received a post card with her picture on it and she signed the back with a big heart. She has such beautiful handwriting. I wish I still had her autograph. I moved so much as a kid, I lost so many special things. Anyway, I love Shannon Doherty and I’ll never forget my postcard.

My wife died of cancer. She said she did not want any kind of gathering or ceremony for her. I told her that it was not really for her. It was for all of us, struggling to cope with losing her. And this changed her mind. My eyes are leaking now. We all go. It's just not easy to deal with.

pay your respects to me in life, I don't need it after

[johnnybahama]

I volunteer at a hospice and I firmly believe she is mentally preparing herself for whatever outcome. Shannon is dealing with the difficult topic of death in a logical, healthy, and brave manner. Shannon is going out on her terms, mad respect! I do hope more people start having the conversation about death with their loved ones, it’s inevitable experience and better to be prepared in terms of talking about any final arrangements or wishes.

I hate cancer. It can hit any of us at any time! Seems like just yesterday I was 23 and watching 90210! We are all going sometime but it sucks. Shannon, you rock!!!! You’ve always been so real!

[sportycornelius]

I've been sick with cancer for quite a few years now and have had this conversation with my adult son and I know he found it traumatic. But it has to be discussed when you have a catastrophic disease. Hang in there Shannen!

[angeliquem]

This isn’t fair. Listening to the woman who I watched and grew up with planning her funeral. It’s wild. Just reminds you, we don’t have forever. ❤

[CindySeifen]

I knew this moment was coming but I knew I would never be ready for it. Shannon I loved your spirit, some called you difficult but I saw a fighter, I will miss you forever I hope you're not in pain anymore RIP always.

[samarymarrero]

[lauramoore]

She has gone through the knowledge of her own mortality with so much grace. I admire her strength.

[cortneyreddick]

she is holding on so tight, living with stage 4 for years and it still hasnt taken her out., shes fighting hard!

[sunnybreeze]

So spiritual ❤ i will always remember her. It was a joy to watch her and Luke in 90210, she filled my youth. May she rest in peace. 😢

[soupful]

R.I.P Dear Shannen very sorry you passed away have loved you from 90210 & Charmed. Big hugs xo

[madmarlowe]

I've been living with stage 4 breast cancer since 2016, at 43, after my first mammogram and biopsy. I'm so grateful to be stable, but it sure takes a physical and mental toll.

[MaryCoffey-pnzv]

I understand completely how she feels. I have a progressive illness and will most likely die before I want to. Having planned out my exit, and organized everything financial gives me a sense of control and peace. It helps me to not feel like a victim. I pray for her, myself, and everyone that is fighting this fight.

[tsukie]

I will cry. I have loved Shannen Doherty from the first moment of Beverly Hills, 90210. That’s when I first saw her. And then I loved her even more on charmed. She was everything I wanted to be. She was strong, opinionated, beautiful hard-working and smart. I think she is an amazing person. all my love to you, Shannon Doherty. I hope you beat it!❤️❤️❤️

[Good-Enough]

Like Shannen says she still has a life to live, and she is doing it. She's a brave woman, and her fighting the cancer she is strong. God Bless You, Shannen. She's an inspiration to others. 🙏
