How To Appreciate Celebrities Who Have Passed
You know the drill: when a celebrity dies, people go on social media and post about how much they meant to them. But what if you want to show love for a star that died before social media? How can you do that? Many people will hold up signs with a photo of their favorite celebrity on them. If you can’t get to that, people do other things when they want to show appreciation for a deceased person.
People will sometimes create or sign petitions asking the government in charge at the time of death to honor them with a day named after them. Others might write letters directly to the family of the person. Then, of course, you can always make a donation to charity in their name or create something like an art project about them and share it with others on social media. No matter what you choose to do, there are tons of ways to show respect for dead celebrities each year!
Some families of celebrities allow fans to attend the funeral of their loved ones, while others do not. The family decides what to do with the body after someone dies; it is up to them where they want the body to go!
Some people believe that celebrities should be buried in unmarked graves like everyone else because they aren’t better.
Either way, it is crucial to let that person’s family know how much you appreciate them. You might not see your favorite celebrity in public again, but it doesn’t mean they are gone forever!
