George Floyd’s funeral service is being held at the Fountain of Praise Church in Houston on Tuesday just over two weeks after his death at the hands of Minneapolis police set off nationwide protests. About 500 guests invited by the Floyd family, including political leaders and celebrities, are expected to be in attendance, CBS Houston affiliate KHOU reported.
Hundreds of people turned out to pay their respects at a public viewing at the church Monday afternoon. Memorial services were also held last Thursday in Minneapolis and on Saturday in North Carolina.
