Bonnie Tyler, the iconic Welsh singer known for hits like 'Total Eclipse of the Heart,' will have a public funeral on August 17 in Swansea, Wales, following her death on July 8, 2026 in Portugal at age 75. Her family has planned a series of events to allow fans to bid farewell.
Funeral Events
The casket will arrive at her home in Fernhill, Mumbles, on August 15 at 3:30 PM, with a procession starting from William Pressdee Funeralcare. Fans are invited to line the route. The main memorial service will be held at St. Mary's Church (Swansea Minster) on August 17 at noon, with priority seating for family and invited guests. The service will be live-streamed on her official website, and screens outside will accommodate overflow crowds. After the service, a private burial will take place in Skewen, her birthplace, for family only. Source: La Vanguardia Source: ABC.es
Family's Request
