Bernie Nolan to be hidden with baby's ashes:
Sister Coleen reveal her final days and memorial service she considered
One of her last wishes before she died from cancer on Thursday was
to be reunited with daughter Kate.
Sister Coleen has told of the brave star’s final hours... and revealed
she had planned every detail of her own funeral.
The ceremony is to be held in the Grand Theatre in Bernie’s home
town of Blackpool, where she perform in her early years as lead singer of the
Nolan Sisters
“It is going to be a massive celebration of her life,” Coleen, 48,
said.
“Bernie had planned every last jiffy of it. I remember saying to
her once, ‘Aren’t you scared? ‘No, not at all,’ she replied.
“‘Well I’d be terrified,’ I said. ‘I won’t know about it by then
so no, I’m not scared,’ she said. ‘But I am pissed off because I’m going to
miss the biggest gathering afterwards!’
“And so the funeral will be the party she wanted... it is just so
sad she won’t be there for it.”
The examine will include music, readings by family member and a
letter in black and white by Bernie, who died on Thursday at the age of 52 following
her three-year skirmish with cancer.
Sister Linda, 54, added: “There could be no better place for
Bernie’s memorial service than Blackpool’s Grand Theatre.
"The theatre was our lives. Bernie was a born performer and
she did summer seasons and pantomime at The Grand.
“We even played in front of the Queen there,” said Maureen, 59.
“Bernie would be so pleased to be back there.”
The funeral on July 17 will be followed a ritual at a crematorium
when Bernie’s ruins will be placed beside persons of stillborn daughter Kate.
“She is obscured in the children’s area so we are trying to sort
the red tape out so they can be together again,” explains Linda.
“It is what Bernie obligatory... to finally be with her baby.”
