Shonnie: It was quite unusual as we turned up in fancy dress.
Interviewer: Had your mum left instructions about how she wanted her funeral to be?
Shonnie:Only that we don't cry, and we¡¦ to have a party to celebrate her life. Be happy, don't be sad¡¦ I was a witch.
Interviewer: How did you look?
Shonnie: Oh, it was just a little black dress and I just had, like, a little fancy witch hat on – the same as my sister. And we had a very close friend of the family come as Beetlejuice – which was absolutely amazing. He really did go all out for that.
Shonnie and her sister chose a Halloween theme for the funeral and wore witches' costumes – little black dresses with special hats.
A close family relative dressed as Beetlejuice ¡¦ Did he dress as a squashed insect, Neil? I'm confused here!
He dressed as Beetlejuice, the main character in a popular 1980s movie. Beetlejuice is a ghost who wears crazy clothes, and has scary hair and make up.
