Family of late Hong Kong singer Coco Lee appeals to fans and friends to donate to 2 charities instead of sending flowers to vigil
- Family writes in obituary published on Friday that star’s vigil will be held on July 31 at Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point
- Well-wishers urged to donate to Community Care Fund or Queen Mary Hospital Charitable Trust
In an obituary published on Friday, Lee’s family wrote that the star’s vigil will be held on July 31 at the Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point, with a public memorial service from 6pm to 10pm.
“Coco’s passing has left a hole in the hearts of her fans and loved ones, but her legacy will live on through her music and the countless lives she touched during her time on this earth,” the family wrote.
“She will be remembered as a true icon of the music industry, a shining star whose light will never fade.”
Her family also requested that rather than sending flowers, fans and friends could donate to the Community Care Fund (CCF) or the Queen Mary Hospital Charitable Trust (QMHCT).
The private funeral service will be held at 9am on August 1, they added.
CCF was established by the government in 2011 to offer help to those facing financial difficulties, especially people not covered by the social welfare net.
