We recently reported that Doris Day had passed away at the age of 97 after contracting a serious case of pneumonia. She had just celebrated her 97th birthday. However, she made it very clear to her manager and close friend Bob Bashara that she did not want a funeral, a memorial, or a grave marker.
Additionally, Doris allegedly didn’t like to talk about anything concerning death. โShe didnโt like death, and she couldnโt be with her animals if they had to be put down. She had difficulty accepting death,โ Bashara explained.
โIโd say we need to provide for her dogs [after she died], and sheโd say, โI donโt want to think about itโ and she said, โWell, you just take care of them,’โ he recalls, โShe had several when her will was written, and she wanted to be sure they were taken care of. She didnโt like to talk about the dogs dying.โ
