Jade Goody’s Family: Don’t Make Her Grave A Shrine!

Posted by Karl Erikson at 7:45 AM on April 8, 2009

Since Jade Goody’s funeral on Saturday, her family has asked fans of the reality TV star to steer clear of Jade’s grave. Jade was buried in a private churchyard, complete with wooden cross on her grave and a brass plaque that says, “In Loving Memory of Jade Goody.”

Jade’s husband, Jack Tweed, was hoping that Jade’s grave location would stay secret. That didn’t last very long, since over 100 people visited Jade’s grave yesterday. “Only a few people were meant to know about this place,” a source said to The Sun. “The family wanted it that way. There’s talk of getting security here if it gets out of hand.”

“Jack is not happy. He doesn’t want the whole graveyard being trampled by strangers. The family really hoped their privacy would be respected. They don’t want to turn it into a shrine.”

The funeral involved a 27-mile procession through East London and to Jade’s home in Upshire, Essex. Hundreds of fan stood along the route. Jade left two sons behind, Bobby and Freddie, ages 5 and 6.
