Aretha Franklin’s funeral details announced

Aretha Franklin’s funeral will be spread across four days in Detroit, with a viewing open to members of the public, organizers announced Friday — a day after she died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 76.

A public viewing for the Queen of Soul will be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Aug. 28 and Aug. 29 at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, which Franklin frequently visited, according to the ­Detroit News.

The service, which will only be open to family and friends, will take place on Aug. 31 at the Greater Grace Temple.

The 4,000-seat house of worship also hosted funerals for Rosa Parks, the Four Tops’ Levi Stubbs and jazz trumpeter Marcus Belgrave.

Franklin will be entombed at Detroit’s Woodlawn Cemetery — alongside her father, Rev. C.L. Franklin, brother Cecil Franklin, sisters Carolyn and Erma Franklin and nephew Thomas ­Garrett.

Organizers are also working on a tribute performance with big-name artists, according to Click­OnDetroit.

Meanwhile, leaders in the Motor City on Friday were looking at other ways to honor the legend. The city’s schools superintendent suggested naming a school for Franklin.

“The world lost a genius yesterday,” Detroit Public Schools Community District Superintendent Nikolai Vitti tweeted.

“Time to name one of our schools after Aretha Franklin?”

And Mayor Mike Duggan’s spokesman said officials are already “thinking of a lot of different things.”

“The mayor I’m sure will do everything he can to ensure that her memory and her impact on Detroit and the world is recognized and respected for years to come,” rep Alexis Wiley told the Detroit News. “We are being respectful of the family and letting them take the lead.”

Detroit residents have been flocking to the New Bethel Baptist Church, where Franklin’s father presided for many years and where she first began singing. Rev. Franklin lead the Detroit Walk to Freedom with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963.

“Even when Detroit was up in flames, she sang about respect — not just respecting yourself, but respecting your city,” fan Terry Tarran told the Guardian.
