Jade will be buried in wedding dress
|
Jade Goody will be buried in her wedding dress and ring, her mum has confirmed. Jackiey Budden, who has assisted the funeral directors in preparing the reality star's body, told the Daily Mirror: "Jade looked so beautiful. "She's wearing her wedding dress. She looked like Sleeping Beauty."
Funeral director Simon Albin said: "Jade is lying in the chapel of rest. It's very peaceful and a quiet place where her family and friends can reflect. The interior has burgundy carpets and cream walls.
"There are sofas for visitors to sit so they can chat, reflect and talk to Jade. Jackiey is bearing up very well in what is a very difficult time for her.
"Jade's grandad is also hoping to come and see Jade before the funeral." Jade's husband Jack Tweed will also visit the star, but friends are concerned. One told The Sun: "Jack feels he needs to say a final goodbye.
"He is so, so down at the moment. He isn't sure he could forgive himself if he didn't take this final opportunity to tell her he loves her."
Meanwhile, a book of remembrance for the former Big Brother star will be open to the public ahead of her funeral on 4 April. Visitors to St John the Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex will be able to leave a message in the book and will have an opportunity for quiet reflection, prayer and the lighting of a candle, a spokesman for Chelmsford Diocese said.
They will also be able to leave floral tributes inside the church, for transfer later to a place set aside in the churchyard.
