Corey Haim Funeral 'Sad But With a Lot of Laughter'
'Lost Boys' actor Corey Haim was laid to rest in his native Toronto on Tuesday in a ceremony attended by more than 200 mourners. Friends and family (his father, Bernie, is shown above) gathered at the Steeles Memorial Chapel a week after the former teen heartthrob
died at age 38.
Scores of fans watched quietly as attendees entered the chapel for the late-morning service. Among them, Jennifer Matton told the
Toronto Star that she drove eight hours from Philadelphia to honor the star. "I think I'm his number one fan," she said.

Not attending was Haim's on-screen partner and friend Corey Feldman, who
announced Monday he would not attend out of respect for the family's "strong religious beliefs" and desire to have a small and private service. He said he is planning a memorial service to be held in Los Angeles.
Feldman's second cousin, however, was on hand. Maytal Kotler described the traditional Jewish service as "very sad but with a lot of laughter."
The funeral lasted 45 minutes and was followed by a long funeral cortege and police escorts.
There are conflicting reports on who paid for the service. Haim's mother, Judy Haim, earlier claimed the city of Toronto offered to cover the costs, but government officials say no such request for help was made. Meanwhile, celebrity auction site Startifacts claimed over the weekend to have donated $20,000 to the family.
Haim, the former teen idol who rose to fame in 1980s classics 'License to Drive' and 'Lucas,' died March 10 in Burbank, Calif. He was 38. Haim collapsed in the Oakwood apartment belonging to his mother, who was at home at the time and called 911.
Judy Haim said she was told by the L.A. County Coroner's Office that an autopsy found her son had an enlarged heart. His cause of death, she said, was due to pulmonary congestion. The final cause of death has been deferred pending toxicology and histopathology testing. The final report is expected in six to eight weeks.
The Coroner's Office said that prescription bottles containing four different medications were taken from his room, but would not confirm if the medications were found in his body.

Wait, Corey Feldman says he was this guy's best friend, but the parents don't want Feldman at the funeral but Feldman's second cousin is at the funeral? These people keep getting stranger by the minute. This sounds like a reality funeral TV show. "Burying Childhood Stars".
Mickey, I think the article's author made an error with the Corey's. Maytel is apparently Haim's second cousin according to the other website stories. I wish the family peace, I hope I never experience the pain of losing a child.

Sad but it sounds like he was loved very much which is important. I watched him on the show the Two Coreys and it was disheartening to see how much he struggled with his addictions, losing his fame, and jealousy that Feldman cleaned up his act. I hope he finds god eternal love and peace. amen

Such a said story but one that happens too often when child actors grow up.

The laughing at his funeral is easily explained, they were all high on crack, since Corey's crowd is nothing but low life trash.

Actually, Mickey, Feldman made the decision not to attend the funeral because - he says, anyway - that he didn't want to distract from the service. He's planning a memorial for Corey later in the month, which I think is appropriate. I didn't attend my relatives funerals because I don't want to remember them in caskets, everyone has their own way of handling death.
An aside, I wonder why Judy Haim would claim Toronto would pay for the funeral if the city says it never promised to. Some wires have been crossed somewhere....

It never fails: there's always some delusional and deluded fanatic at these gatherings telling every newspaper willing to quote her that she was his "number one fan". How sad, with all the talent in the world amongst people who work hard at it and cultivate it, that somebody would pine at the feet of an unemployed, drug-addicted former child star. She probably has a "Lost Boys" poster above her bed...

Now...we wait for Feldman's turn to go.....
Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Not nice James R. No we are not waiting for Feldman to go. You shouldn't say things like that or even think it. It could be someone you love or care about. I don't know dawg. Hummm...not funny, not funny at all!
really u have nothing better than to hope someone dies. even if u dont like them. now really if it were u would u be talked about on a web site
Strong religious beliefs ? It's a pity he didn't practice them !

Rest in peace Corey. May God give your family and friends strength to heal. It's obvious that in the end you were a 'lost boy'.
May you now have the chance to look over those whom loved you and tried to help you on earth. Go in peace now sweet boy loved by many.

Its too bad the parents didn't have enough pride to pay for their own son's funeral. Especially since they benefitted from his fame.
