“She did not want a big public funeral. She wanted to be cremated and I expect it to be a small, very private affair. I am sure there will be some kind of memorial concert and tribute later,” said Turner’s personal assistant Eddy Hampton “Armani” in one report. “It will be for her very close friends in Switzerland, and her manager. It will not be a big family occasion.”
Turner, born in Tennessee, became a Swiss citizen in 2013.
