At 53, Shannen Doherty’s instructions for after her death have come to light… and they are absolutely heartbreaking Check Comments

Hollywood star Shannen Doherty left behind a set of very exact instructions regarding what she wanted done with her remains following her passing.

The 90210 actress bravely battled cancer for the last few years of her life, having first been diagnosed back in 2015. Doherty went into remission in 2017, only to reveal her cancer had returned in 2020.

Sadly, the 53-year-old died on Saturday, prompting an outpour of grief. Though the actress had been candid with her journey, revealing that the cancer had spread from her breasts to her brain and then bones, her passing has still come as a shock.

Doherty’s publicist Leslie Sloane confirmed the actress’ death on Sunday.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease,” Sloane informed People.

“The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.”

According to the Daily Mail, Doherty left a specific set of instructions for her loved ones to follow in the event of her death, including her funeral plans and burial arrangements.

Back in January, the Charmed star reveled on her Let’s Be Clear podcast:

“I want [my remains] to be mixed with my dog, and I want it to be mixed with my dad. I do not want to be buried and not cremated,” she said.

Doherty also suggested that the mixed ashes then be spread in Malibu, California, where she and her father had spent a deal of “precious time” together. She was also open to the idea that the remains be added to fertilizer to “grow them into a tree”.She also expressed interest in her loved ones using her mixed remains as fertilizer and ‘grow them into a tree’.

In the same podcast episode, Doherty also revealed a set of instructions for her funeral, expressing her desire to have a more private affair.

“There’s a lot of people that I think would show up that I don’t want there. I don’t want them there because their reasons for showing up aren’t necessarily the best reasons,” she said.

“Like, they don’t really like me and, you know, they have their reasons and good for them, but they don’t actually really like me enough to show up to my funeral.”

Rest in peace, Shannen Doherty. A brave and spirited soul who will be truly missing.
