The City Of Toronto Is Not Paying For Corey Haim's Funeral

This is just so sad. He had so much potential and he could have been as big as the Johnny Depps and Brad Pitts of this world, and it all went to waste. He died lonely, friendless, abandoned and poor - in Oakwood apartments in Burbank. He didnt even die in dignity, as his belongings had to be auctioned off and donations requested in order to pay for his funeral. Last year he even put an ad in variety magazine promoting himself and looking for a job. He, someone who could easily have beaten half of these men-whores and talentless, walking dildos in Hollywood.

What an unworthy ending for such an otherwise worthy star. I truly hope you rest in peace Corey. You are my childhood idol and crush and just like those good ol' times, you will forever be missed. I rarely become affected by celebrity deaths but this one really gets to me because it was a truly useless and unnecessary death.

I am going to close this post with what Roger Ebert wrote about him in the movie "Lucas":

"He creates one of the most three-dimensional, complicated, interesting characters of any age in any recent movie. If he can continue to act this well, he will never become a half-forgotten child star, but will continue to grow into an important actor. He is that good."

Good. As a someone who lives in Toronto and pays taxes in Toronto I am glad that our wishy washy city has not agreed to pay for this. Dude did not even live in Toronto anymore... why the hell would we use money for the local disadvantaged to pay for someone who chose to live in another city in an entirely different country and someone who put all his money up his nose???? Get real Judy, get real.

Druggie or not, nobody deserves a death sentence like that. I hope nobody here ever has a family member or dear friend who is addicted like this. You'd surely have more empathy. I work with war vets (young ones too), you have no idea how many struggle with drug habits VERY close to this guys. I guess they deserve all that's coming to them too, damn good for nothing druggies. Right?

The town I grew up in gives you a free burial plot if you were born there. Does other places do that? I always thought that was kinda weird.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's an awesome deal for real. I wish I was from your town. It cost me hundreds of bucks to have my grandmother buried in our own damn family's cemetery two years ago. And that's not even including the extra costs to open up the grave and close the grave, etc...

When I die I want to donate my body to the body farm, where they put human remains in various different situations that murder victims are found in (car trunk, water, frozen and then left out, etc.) so that they can study what the human body does in different environments, to make it easier to identify what happened to victims and when. That's one way to serve humanity and not take up space with your dead corpse.

Thank God the LA police is NOT as ignorant as a few of the posters here. How were the millions of people who were converging towards LA when MJ died, to be controlled, and prevented from disrupting everyday life in LA? Did MJ asked them to come ? On the contrary, the Jackson family and MJ's estate agreed to do everything to help LIMIT the number of people entering LA. The cost of security for events of this size falls on the State, and in this case the event itself was the death of MJ.If according to some ignorant posters here, security had not been in place, all the millions of fans arriving in LA would have completely disrupted everything in the city.Some people need to use their brains when making comments.

Hopefully now people can stop whining. All right Feldman, Mama Haim needs your help more than ever. Bust out that paycheck and put your money where your mouth is.

LA did not spend 6 million on MJ's memorial service. LA spent about 2 million on security. Millions of people were expected to turn up in LA due to the level of his fame, and it is up to the police and security forces to,try and prevent a pandemonium. Surely, MJ is not being blamed for being famous? Besides he had been paying TAXES ever since he was FIVE years old, and in 45 years had payed several tens of millions in taxes.

RedVelvetCake, yeah but that was CALIFORNIA. People would expect the good people of Toronto (and almost every other part of the world) to be a little more sensible than the people in charge of California.

Thank God they ARE more sensible than the celebrity butt licking Californian authorities.

Come on, it's just sad. He was a mess, and died a mess. No one wants to go out like that. He died being a joke, and he was so cute as kid. No one knew how to handle this right. Just so depressing. :(

the city is prob so cash strapped becuase they have been footing the bill for adam giambrones condoms for the last however many years...that shit adds up

It sad when you see the parents of these child stars are just as ignorant and child-like as the stars themselves.

You can't even blame the parents for messing up their kids lives becuase they were such fuck ups themselves. No idea how to manage or handle their kids careers or finances. Then it all goes down the drain.

Not to be a callous bitch, but...why the fuck would Toronto or any other communitity pay for his funeral?

+++++

Because CA for paid for Michael Jackson's - who was a broke and busted drug abusing pedophile.

It's not so far fetched that Toronto would do that.

On one hand I totally agree with you yupyupyup but on the otherhand Haim was actually from Thornhill and NOT Toronto... but yeah, this city sure the hell knows how to flush money down the drain.

Ewwww. Thailand.

Finally, people are seeing that Haim was a washed-up, two bit actor who was a druggie. I am elated that Toronto decided not to foot the bill.

Now that Corey Feldman has that monkey off his back, I wish him a good life. Haim was a detriment to anyone who dealt with him.

I hope everyone will feel the same way when Jeff Conaway dies.

I live in Toronto too, though blowing some cash to send off the Haimster is better than half the things this city spends its money on.

Good. As a someone who lives in Toronto and pays taxes in Toronto I am glad that our wishy washy city has not agreed to pay for this.

Get real Judy, get real.

Guess living (or dying) within one's means is just not a Haim family trait.

Good to hear the city is NOT paying for any of it though.

I hate the concept of funerals and the funeral industry, and cemetaries (aside from being rather cool and spooky and serving as an art gallery for some awesome statuary) are complete wastes of space.

Speaking of awesome stuff to do with remains, did anyone ever see the Canadian show "Slings and Arrows"? There's this awesome part in the first season where in the late artistic director's will, he demands that his head be chopped off, rendered down, and the skull used in "Hamlet."

rendered?

The City of Toronto DOES INDEED pay for burial plots of the poor, specifically if they are already on social assistance.

I helped arrange my exe's poor uncle's funeral. The city provided a money for a basic coffin, a burial site and a basic service.

I doubt Corey Haim or his family were on welfare, no matter how destitute they are. It doesn't sound like either Corey or his mother were living in Canada.

Cremains (which is evidently the new term for ashes) are easy to deal with. I had my partner cremated as per his wishes, picked up the box two days later, brought it home and put it in the bottom drawer of the nightstand on what had been his side of the bed. You have to have burial papers for human remains, whether embalmed or burned and it's actually illegal to spread ashes anywhere outside, although it's done all the time. Still, I'd have to say I'm Team Urn on the Mantle, or Team Box in the Drawer.

Now THAT is an awesome send-off.

speaking of ashes. there was this made in canada movie (a fairly recent one) set in newfoundland. it was grim, dark and sad.

woman's brother died, or father, can't remember. and she was desperate to get her hands on his ashes. even went to far as to steal them from a urn and replace them with fireplace cinders.

turns out the father or brother had been sexually molesting her since she was a girl.

she tipped the ashes out into a outhouse hole, then pissed on them.

fuck i love newifes.

WORD. I've been on that program myself since I was 13 and found out they had high-rise masoleums in some cities in Asia because they were running out of burial land. I was raised Catholic, so maybe that will get me in dutch with the Vatican, but I just can't see allowcating precious resources for a box full of dust.

We can just take a cummed in sock, burn the motherfucker ourselves (easy), stuff the ashes in the sock, and hit people with it at the funeral. Fuck that would be hysterical, what's that called when you put flour in a sock and hit people with it? That's fucking funny. Let's do that with him. AND ITS CHEAP.

sad stuff, but i gots to keep it real here:
the guy had a good job. he blew it. end of story. nobody owes him anything. not toronto, not his "fans", not the movie studios. nobody.

i heard some bs from the other corey about how hollywood is just done with you when you can't make them money anymore. newsflash! no company wants you if you can't suppot their business -- whether you're flipping burgers or smiling into a camera lens.

btw, does anyone else remember on that "two coreys" show when haim started yelling about an adult friend of feldman's attacking him? i'm still putting my money on mj for the win. i'll bet the auction price of haim's decayed tooth that more comes out about that story now.

Maybe the mom didn't realize she had to apply for help. Funerals are retarded anyway.

That's right. Mr. Hekki is under strict instructions to sell/donate my organs, put me in a cardboard box and burn me. Get the ashes in a plastic bag and dole them out to whomever wants them.

No fancy nothin'. I'd rather him spend the money on beer than enrich those "funeral directors". Ptui!

What about that other Cory? Weren't they good friends? He should help pay for it.

Exactly! My best friend just passed and I paid for her headstone to take some of the stress off of her parents. Why can't Corey F(ugs) do the same for his best friend?

do jewish people cremate the dead?

Not usually, no... considering the whole Nazis cremating Jews in concentration camps thing.

There's also special preparations for Jewish burial done to the body; I'm not certain what it all entails. But not every Jew does these things... I suppose it depends on how devout you were in the faith. I know Jewish people who eat cheeseburgers and wouldn't mind being cremated.

EVEN BETTER. So like we can get a REALLY strong sock, and then the bone sticking out will like, jab the people at the funeral, and then if it gets stuck in their arm or face or wherever the bone lodges itself we can go "aww that's so sweet! He's a part of you now!" or "He wants to be inside you! From beyond the grave! So romantic!" we can work with this shit. oh man I need to start a funeral home.

here it is for the city of toronto.

the reason youre finding vet stuff is cause youre looking federally adn vetran affairs is a federal matter, for the regular person its a municipal thing. i would think each city has different criteria.

I think what we're witnessing is why funeral parlours make so much money.

Guilt + grief = oodles of cash

Especially with a child. Every parent thinks their child is special and deserves to be memorialized.

Why can't people do that with a nice urn on the mantle?

@ suckandfuck - You are seriously disturbed......... I LOVE THAT about you. =]

greenfinch - how kind of Toronto. :) But I am glad no government funds are going towards the burial of someone who wasted his money and his life.

And I usually don't speak ill of the dead, but the above picture REALLY makes him look like a douchebag. I never watched Corey&Corey or whatever the hell it was, plus I wasn't interested in him as an adolescent, so I don't know if he was a douchebag or not....but he looked like one. LOL.
