I just saw local Detroit news WDIV channel 4. People are there from Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany etc as well as, people from all over the U.S. She is laid out spendidly like a Queen in a solid gold casket and red dress and red shoes.

A royal sendoff for a queen.

​
The funeral home in charge of the homegoing service for the late Aretha Franklin has announced that the Queen of Soul will don multiple outfits in true diva fashion.
Linda Swanson, executive vice president of Swanson Funeral Home, which is coordinating Franklin's viewings and other services, said the Franklin family authorized her to reveal that the singing legend's wardrobe will be swapped out in the days leading to her burial.
What she will be wearing is a 'surprise,' Swanson told the Detroit Free Press, but added that the clothing will be 'Just natural changes in wardrobe that a queen would make.'
