She really was "Simply the Best": music legend Tina Turner has died at the age of 83 at her home in Küsnacht ZH. This "after a long illness", as her agent Bernard Doherty announced yesterday, Wednesday, May 24. He also revealed details of Turner's funeral to the "Mirror" in England.
"Tina Turner will be buried with close friends and family," he said. And: "Please respect the privacy of her loved ones at this time."
A public funeral service has not yet been scheduled. The rock singer 's international fans will therefore not have the opportunity to say goodbye to the US-American.
Turned to Buddhism
It is still unclear exactly what Tina Turner's funeral will look like. The musician discovered Buddhism in the 1970s, which helped her through the difficult times in her life.
In that religious community, funerals and cremations are a traditional way of saying goodbye to a loved one. Her relatives will now decide to what extent Turner's faith and Buddhist values will be incorporated into the funeral.
Joint meditation for rebirth
In Buddhism, the deceased person is often laid to rest for a few days - usually up to three. During this time, the body must not be touched, as the religious community is convinced that the death processes are not yet complete - and therefore must not be disturbed. Monks and relatives gather in the house and gather around the corpse to meditate together and positively influence the rebirth.
Of course, a Buddhist funeral can take place in Switzerland, along with the corresponding rituals. The city of Bern, for example, has had a burial ground for Buddhists since 2018. This means that all members of all five world religions have a dignified place to say goodbye to their loved ones.
