Caylee Anthony's funeral: Will Casey attend? Who will pay?
Caylee Anthony's funeral: Will Casey attend? Who will pay for it? posted by halboedeker on Dec 22, 2008 5:29:43 PM Caylee Anthony's funeral -- whatever it will be -- was a top story Monday night on local newscasts. WESH-Channel 2's Bob Kealing reported Orange County corrections wouldn't let Casey Anthony attend her funeral -- unless a judge orders it. "I can't imagine where someone accused of murder has gone out in the past to see the body of the victim," corrections spokesman Allen Moore told WESH. Brad Conway, attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, said an autopsy will be done by defense experts after the medical examiner releases the remains. Then the grandparents will decide how to proceed with a memorial, Conway told WESH. WFTV-Channel 9's Mary Nguyen reported that George and Cindy Anthony might ask for donations to bury Caylee. "The Anthonys are hoping the public will pay for their granddaughter's funeral," Nguyen said. What do you make of that? Conway said a trust fund will be established to pay for the funeral, and the family will seek donations from the public, Nguyen reported. The average cost for a funeral is $6,000, she added. On WKMG-Channel 6, Conway said that George and Cindy Anthony are supporting Casey. "They want the truth, whatever that is," Conway said. "Whatever the truth is, they will stand by their daughter." http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2008/12/caylee-anthonys.html?cid=143317372#comments

I've been critical of Cindy Anthony in the past, but looking at this as a mother I feel for her loss of Caylee. BUT asking the public yet again for money is very odd and cold. Especially since the funeral/memorial is private.She has thousands of people helping look for Caylee and then shuts them out when she's found? Caylee now has more relatives then ever, America has adopted her. Saying "Look for my grand daughter!", then when she's found "Go Away!" Wrong on so many levels. No more money Cindy! You lost Caylee and now are going to lose your daughter Casey, her killer/mother, but we can't pay for it anymore. Posted by: Themis | December 22, 2008 at 08:00 PM
