According to a report by Hong Kong publication On.cc yesterday (July 26), Coco's funeral portrait was chosen by her two sisters Nancy and Carol.
In the photo that was published, which was from Coco's 2013 album Illuminate, she is seen wearing a white top with her signature smile and her hair blowing in the wind.
Nancy and Carol had reportedly chosen the photo because Coco was wearing her favourite colour and showing her trademark sunny smile and they felt that she "looked just like an angel".
In addition, Coco's pallbearers were also revealed: her brother-in-law Billy Ho, television host and Coco's longtime fan Yang Yang, music producer Chien Yao, who was instrumental in building Coco's career, Warner Music senior executive Jonathan Serbin, veteran singer and Coco's mentor Jenny Tseng, and Coco's close friends Lily Pang, Colleen Yu Fung and Grace Lee.
The Hong Kong singer died on July 5 at the age of 48. It was reported earlier that Coco was bleeding profusely from her left wrist as she came out of her bathroom on July 2 and was in a comatose state when she was sent to Queen Mary Hospital for emergency treatment.
