Hulk Hogan's funeral plans revealed following wrestling legend's death
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, passed away aged 71 from a heart attack on July 24 at his home in Florida. He had been suffering from health issues for a number of months.
Following his passing, it has been reported that he will be cremated following a ceremony in Clearwater, Florida, where he was living at the time. His death certificate says that the memorial service is set to be at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park and Funeral Home, which is in Clearwater, and his cause of death was natural causes. The funeral arrangements for Hulk Hogan have been announced, following the wrestling legend's death last week. Pic:A spokesperson for the Pinellas Forensic Science Centre told Page Six that they have received a request for cremation approval, but they're not aware when it will take place.
Hogan was one of the most iconic professional wrestlers of the 1980s, being the WWE (then WWF) champion for over four years. He was also the first wrestler to win the championship five times, and headlined several WrestleManias over the years.
In 1994, he signed with WCW following a brief career change as an actor, winning the WCW Championship in his debut match. However, he's best known as the leader of the New World Order, when he turned heel (became a bad guy) for the first time in two decades at Bash at the Beach 1996. Hogan died on Thursday, July 24.

He returned to the WWF/WWE in 2002, winning the WWE Championship one final time before making sporadic appearances throughout the years. He was then scrubbed from the history books in 2015, when a conversation from a sex tape he was involved in saw him go on a racist diatribe where he repeatedly used the n-word and said that he was 'racist to a point.'
He sued Gawker, who leaked the tape, and won $115million in the verdict in 2016. The publication later shut down in 2016.
He made his final appearance on Monday Night Raw's premiere of Netflix in January 2025 alongside his friend Jimmy Hart. It has been reported that Hogan will be cremated in Florida, where he lived at the time of his death. Pic:Elsewhere, Hogan's daughter Brooke Hogan has confirmed that she had herself removed as a beneficiary of Hogan's estate, following a public falling out with her parents, Hulk and Linda, over the years.

Bella said on her Nikki and Brie podcast: "We were just out there talking I was just like, 'Oh my God, I'm having so much fun'. "I didn't want the match to end. I was in a little bit of pain, but I didn't want it to end'." Bella's twin sister and fellow WWE legend Brie asked: "I mean, your implant okay? I think it's stuck in your ribs, but…" The WWE Hall of Famer responded: "I think it is. I had to go to the doctor yesterday to get my t** looked at. "I was just telling Brie, I'm having conversations with my shirt off and I'm thinking in my head, like, 'I didn't think I'd be here today on my day off in New York City getting my boob looked at, knowing that my implant I think has moved'. " And I'm like, 'Alright, it has moved'. It's moved. It's okay. We're going to get it fixed one day. "I told the doctor, I go, 'Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I'm going to come back to you and we're going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can't look like that'." Bella was surprised to find out how much attention her wrestling injury got. The ex-Divas Champion added: "I literally had told Brie all of this in private and when she said it live about my implant, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?' Stunning WWE legend Nikki Bella reveals she's joined celebrity dating app as it 'gets lonely in hotel rooms' "Then yesterday it was everywhere about my implant. I keep getting text messages, I was just backstage and everyone kept coming up, like, 'Is it okay?' "I'll know later. I don't know yet if it exploded or not. It still seems intact. It's swollen, it hurts, but I think it might be fine. "I can't believe I'm loudly talking about this, but hey, it's 2025, whatever. Send well wishes to my fake boob, thank you."

I can reveal the singer/actress/presenter has recorded a new song for the upcoming second series of Netflix hit Love Is Blind UK. Sources tell me Joy is a powerful track about finding inner peace and is expected to be released in the coming days. Rather than being on her upcoming fourth album, Joy will be a stand-alone song that will debut in a TV trailer for the dating show then drop on Spotify and Amazon Music. A source said: 'It's no secret that Rita loves love so she jumped at the chance to record a track for Love Is Blind UK. Joy is very much a mini side-project rather than being part of the new album. 'The song will be used on the show and be available to stream but there are no plans for a video or to send it to radio.' Honestly, I don't know when Rita finds the time. 7 Rita Ora has recorded a new song for the upcoming second series of Netflix hit Love Is Blind UK Credit: Getty MARIAH'S PRIDE 'N' JOY 7 Mariah Carey glitters as she hits the stage to headline Brighton Pride Credit: Getty 7 American diva Mariah in a shiny ombre dress and pink jacket Credit: Getty MARIAH CAREY glittered in front of thousands of fans in four different figure-hugging outfits as she hit the stage to headline Brighton Pride. The American diva arrived in a shiny ombre dress and pink jacket, which featured the phrase 'protect the dolls' on the back, as she pledged her support to the trans community. Later, during her 90-minute set, she changed into another dazzling minidress, as well as a gold shift and floor-length black gown. Mariah told the crowd: 'The LGBTQ+ family, both as a community and as individuals have been here for me for so long. I just want you to know that I'll always, always be there for you.' Mariah Carey, 56, wears FOUR figure-hugging outfits and puts on leggy display as she headlines Brighton Pride The show, which featured hits including Fantasy and her new single Sugar Sweet, topped off a day of festivities, ahead of the second day yesterday which was headlined by Sugababes. Earlier on Saturday, Attitude magazine kicked off the annual event with a party at the i360 tower which was attended by Dame Kelly Holmes, Caity Baser and Rob Rinder. CARDI'S FLOP RAP 7 Cardi B is preparing to go fight or flight in this bird-themed feathered outfit Credit: Splash LOOKS like Cardi B is preparing to go fight or flight in this bird-themed feathered outfit. The rapper looked ready for take-off as she entered the ring to kick off the opening night of the WWE Summerslam 2025 wrestling extravaganza in New Jersey on Saturday. But rather than singing or fighting, Cardi was simply there to launch the event, teasing music from her upcoming second album Am I The Drama? As she strutted to the ring, a new Cardi track was blasted through the stadium, sending fans into a meltdown online. Her long-awaited follow-up to 2018's Invasion Of Privacy is out on September 19. Hope it's worth the wait. GAGA IN TRIBUTE TO OZZY 7 Lady Gaga reached out to Kelly Osbourne's family Credit: Getty DESPITE being in the middle of a world tour, Lady Gaga is finding time to support others. I'm told she was so moved by the death of Ozzy Osbourne that she sent a huge bouquet to his grieving wife Sharon and the family. The move is a full-circle moment for the two women after Sharon branded the hitmaker an attention-seeker in 2013. That came after Gaga locked horns with her daughter Kelly Osbourne after she criticised the singer for not stopping to greet fans. A source said: 'The flowers must have cost hundreds but Gaga wanted to reach out. 'Gaga has always been a huge fan of Ozzy and the Osbournes – before she was famous she even used to strip to Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath. "She once told Ozzy – he found it hilarious.' The kind gesture comes after Gaga closed her San Francisco show last month by belting out Ozzy's 1980 hit Crazy Train as a tribute. CHAPPELL SLINKS IN 7 Chappell Roan slipped into Oasis's latest London gig undetected Credit: Getty - Contributor SHE'S one of the biggest stars on the planet, but Chappell Roan was able to slip into Oasis's latest London gig undetected. The singer, who released new single The Subway last week, was seen in the crowd at Wembley on Saturday – singing away to the hits. Frank Lampard and Nicole Appleton also snubbed a swanky suite to mix with regular fans. OASIS fever is still sweeping the UK. Yesterday the Y Not Festival in Derbyshire was forced to upgrade tribute act Noasis to the main stage. They were due to play an 800-capacity slot but bosses had a rethink after more than double that number of guests saved the slot on their festival app. The Diana Mixtape musical @ Outernet, London ★★★★☆ 7 Hear'Say's Noel Sullivan and actress Lucinda Lawrence Credit: Supplied YOU might think a stage musical about Princess Diana would be sad, yet The Diana Mixtape is anything but. With five world-class drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race playing the People's Princess while singing classics from Kylie, Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish, it's utterly joyous from start to finish. The crowd at Outernet London lapped it up. A shout out also needs to go to Hear'Say's Noel Sullivan and actress Lucinda Lawrence, for their Charles and Camilla romp to Dua Lipa's Physical. Hilarious. Greatest Showman star Keala Settle brought even more fun as Elizabeth II, but ultimately it was the queens who shone brightest. It's on at Outernet until Sunday then The Lowry, Salford, from August 19-21. OLIVIA RODRIGO's 2021 album Sour is still breaking records. The release has become the first album on Spotify to have four songs with more than two billion streams each. Traitor, Drivers License, Deja Vu and Good 4 U have all passed the milestone. Not bad for an album the US star wrote when she was just 17.
