The late Corey Haim's funeral is set to take place in Toronto on Tuesday and now his longtime friend Corey Feldman tells "The Insider" he will not be attending the service.

"In the days following my best friend Corey Haim's death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me," Feldman says. "I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey's funeral, however due to their strong religious beliefs, and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey's funeral on Tuesday a small private affair.

"Understanding the recent media attention and to be respectful of the family's wishes I have decided not to attend. Instead I will remain in Los Angeles quietly mourning and planning his memorial. As a sign of respect I am asking the media to honor Corey Haim by making the same choice.

"I am working with a few people who were close to Corey to put a memorial together within the next month. At that time, the media will be invited to honor and celebrate the legacy he has left behind, along with friends, fans, and the rest of the Hollywood community."

Haim died on March 10 at the age of 38.

  • Listing Wow, this is a real shocker. I would have thought that Feldman would have been invited. I thought he was like family to Haim?

  • Grams Good call Corey - now let's hope the media listens. They tend to not take the feelings of people into consideration - all they want is their story.
