George Floyd's funeral set for next Tuesday in Houston

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- George Floyd's funeral is set to take place in Houston next week as part of several events memorializing the native Houstonian across the country.

During a news conference that revealed findings of an independent autopsy backed by his family, Floyd's viewing is set in Houston for the following Monday, June 8. On Tuesday, June 9, Floyd's funeral service will take place.

Memorial services will take place Thursday afternoon in Minneapolis, where he resided at the time of his death, and his birth state of North Carolina on Saturday.

Before the funeral announcement, Fort Bend Memorial Planning Center in Rosharon posted a flyer on Facebook with a picture of Floyd and indication of plans coming this week.



Just before that, Mayor Sylvester Turner announced Floyd will be laid to rest in Houston.

Floyd, 46, died in Minneapolis after Officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee on neck as the man was handcuffed. Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

George Floyd's funeral will be live-streamed from Houston on Tuesday
Updated 3:02 AM ET, Tue June 9, 2020

(CNN)Family and close friends will gather in Houston on Tuesday for the funeral of George Floyd, two weeks after he died at the hands of Minneapolis police officers.
The private funeral will take place at The Fountain of Praise Church at 11 a.m. local time. The service will also be live-streamed, said La'Torria Lemon, spokeswoman for Fort Bend Memorial Planning Center, the funeral home where Floyd's visitation took place Monday. Thousands attended the visitation.
The service will be a celebration of Floyd's life, Mia K. Wright, the co-pastor of The Fountain of Praise church, told CNN's Don Lemon Monday night.
"We celebrate a life that had its ups and downs as many lives do but also a life that was connected to God and one that all people around the world have now connected to because of the tragedy and the trauma by which he passed," Wright said.

"And so we want to have a home-going celebration, we want to remember his name," she added.
Wright said the service will include multiple speakers -- including civil rights leaders who will "have a call to justice, a call for social reform."
"It is so important that we move forward from here from a place of healing and wholeness because if we expect change to happen in our community, we can't come from anger and hurt and loss," she said. "We have to learn how to move as a whole unit."
Tuesday's service will be limited to 500 people.
Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is handling all the expenses for Floyd's funeral, Lemon said in a news release.


3hr to be aired on CNN
