Rich Homie Quan, born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, was mourned in an open casket ceremony on September 17, following his passing on September 5, 2024.
The funeral, held in a South Fulton church, turned into a large public event despite initial plans for a private service.
The decision by Quan’s family to livestream the event and open the casket led to widespread attention and mixed reactions online.
One X user supported the family’s decision, stating, “The family got Rich Homie Quan casket open on national tv yet ppl on the internet acting outraged about it. I hate when ppl think they can have insight on what ppl who know HIM PERSONALLY chose for his service…”
Conversely, another comment highlighted discomfort with the public nature of the images: “It’s a shame we gotta ask for ppl not to share pics and videos of ppl laying in their caskets.”
Further discussions ensued with others commenting, “Y’all really complain about anything. It was Rich Homie Quan’s FAMILY’S DECISION to make the funeral open casket and LIVESTREAM it,” highlighting the family’s agency in how the funeral was conducted.
The ceremony itself featured personal tributes where close friends and family kissed Quan’s forehead and crowned him, acknowledging his impact both as an artist and a person.
Rich Homie Quan’s contributions to music were celebrated by declaring September 17 as Rich Homie Quan Memorial Day in Atlanta, with figures like Killer Mike, DC Young Fly, and Stephen Jackson giving speeches that were well-received by the audience.
Despite the controversies surrounding the openness of the funeral, the family’s decision to share this moment reflected their desire to honor Quan’s legacy transparently, allowing fans and the public to partake in their grieving process.
The ceremony was both a farewell and a celebration of his life, leaving a lasting impact on his community and beyond.
