โI do not want to be buried. I want to be cremated โฆ really mix it up so it’s a healthy mixture of my father, me, and Bowie,” she said, referencing her beloved dog. However, not all of her ashes will be mingling with her father and her adorable puppy friend. Doherty reportedly gave one of her close friends permission to wear some of her ashes around their neck.
