Rich Homie Quan‘s funeral was held on Sept. 17 at 11 a.m. in a South Fulton, Ga. church, with the building fully packed out with loved ones who cared about the artist. The ceremony was initially supposed to be a “quick, private service for the family to start the healing process,” but Quan’s father and manager, Corey Lamar, changed his mind he and his family and organized a larger celebration of life.
The funeral was an open casket ceremony, with Quan’s body front and center at World Changers Church International as attendees were able to go up to him and say their last goodbyes. Family members and friends kissed his forehead and put a crown on his head before the casket was closed.
Dedicated to honoring the rapper’s life in the best ways they can, the agenda was filled with heartwarming initiatives. The Atlanta City declared Sept. 17 as Rich Homie Quan Memorial Day, and figures like Killer Mike, DC Young Fly, Stephen Jackson, and others took the stage to deliver speeches.
Fans were extra appreciative that they were able to experience the event. One social media user tweeted, “I appreciate Rich Homie Quan’s parents for having fans involved with his funeral.”
Another supporter who attended the event shared her opinion about how the atmosphere was in person, saying, “Went to Rich Homie funeral, and he really had a smile on his face. He has a beautiful family. Everything was so peaceful, and organized. It’s just so sad, because he really shouldn’t be gone! Asking God to keep everyone he loved covered, cause they were hurting.”
Rich Homie Quan died at the age of 33 on Sept. 5. The beloved rapper was best known for his hit singles “Type A Way,” “Flex,” and “Lifestyle” with Young Thug. He earned one award nomination from iHeartRadio and BET, plus four BET Hip-Hop Awards nominations.
