Beth Chapman’s family expect a large crowd at her Colorado funeral and plan a live stream… weeks after she passed away from throat cancer
She reportedly had at least part of her ashes scattered privately in the waters off Hawaii last Saturday.
But Beth Chapman’s family are gearing up for a crowd at her Colorado funeral, which will be held on July 13 in Aurora, just outside Denver.
Sources close to Beth’s family told TMZ on Saturday that her surviving relatives are determined to make the memorial fan-friendly, reaching out to hotels in Aurora to hammer out discounted rates for people attending the service, and working with police to plan security and crowd control.

The wife of Duane ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ Chapman wanted her send-off in her home state to be accessible for everyone, according to the site, so her family is also putting together a live stream for those that can’t make it in person.
Dog Chapman and Beth lived in Hawaii and Colorado and the services in Hawaii and on the mainland are part of Beth’s final wishes; she died aged 51 on June 26 in a Honolulu hospital after a long battle with cancer.
She planned her memorial services before her death and explained to her family that she wanted funerals open to the public in both Hawaii and Colorado, the states she lived in with her husband.
