Aanstaande donderdag 21 oktober vindt er een publieke meditatie en wake plaats voor de overleden Solomon Burke. De begravenis van Solomon Burke is op vrijdag 22 oktober. De begravenis zal via web casting wereldwijd te volgen zijn via de site van Burke.
Solomon Burke zei altijd: 'geef me bloemen als ik leef', dus de nabestaanden verzoeken iedereen geen bloemen te sturen, maar juist een bijdrage te doneren aan ;één van de stichtingen van Burke.
