The public memorial, called a ‘celestial graduation’ to heaven by her family took place at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA. The memorial was more of a tribute with live concert feel. The singer’s brother Rev. Pedro Rivera Jr., officiated the service and led the pallbearers who brought in her red coffin and placed it center stage.
