The funeral parlor, where the mock wake of late One Direction member Liam Payne was held, ended its silence after receiving criticism from the netizens.
In a Facebook post, Funenaria De Sto. Rosario, Inc. published some photos of their funeral setup, including a portrait of Liam.
“Experience peace of mind with our Deluxe Service Package,” the funeral parlor wrote.
Several people connected to the funeral parlor already insisted that they were not holding a mock funeral for Liam, saying that it was only part of their setup.
“To clarify things, showroom po ito ng burulan. Sample set up package para a funeral service. No Hate. Thanks,” JM Bautista-Roxas said.
“Hindi po sya nagpalamay for Liam, again Sample set up po ito ng funeral package,” she added.
The issue started when a netizen posted a photo on another social media platform, which included a caption: “Yung hindi ka makapunta sa lamay ni Liam kaya nagpagawa ka ng sarili mong lamay,”Â
