Joan Rivers’s directions for her own funeral service were printed in the program the ushers handed out on Sunday at Temple Emanu-El on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
“I want my funeral to be a big showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action,” the paragraph-long directive said. “I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don’t want some rabbi rambling on.”
There were A-list celebrities, an army of paparazzi and streets blocked off with hundreds of onlookers outside Temple Emanu-El on the Upper East Side. The crowd was a mix of local residents, tourists and lifelong fans drawn to the pioneering comedian's funeral on Sunday.
