George Floyd’s funeral will be held in Houston, Texas, on June 9 — after a public viewing the night before, his family’s lawyer said Monday.
The lawyer, Ben Crump, said Floyd’s funeral would start at 11 a.m.
He said the black man’s funeral would follow an afternoon memorial this Thursday in Minnesota — where Floyd died after a white cop knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes during a routine arrest May 25 — and a service Saturday afternoon in North Carolina, Floyd’s birth place.
A public viewing will be held in Houston the night before he is laid to rest, Crump said.
