KENTUCKY: Tammy Slaton, star of '1000-Lb Sisters,' is planning an intimate Kentucky house funeral for her late estranged husband, Caleb Willingham, according to The US Sun. Caleb died on June 30, and funeral plans have finally been finalized a month later.
Tammy has been devastated by Caleb's death because she "knows it could have been herself." Tammy has been having difficulty understanding Caleb's death due to their common experience at the Ohio weight loss clinic. Caleb's death was not unexpected; his friends and family had anticipated his death due to the status of his health. Caleb had gained 30 pounds since his divorce from Tammy, and his health had deteriorated.
'Caleb's funeral will happen at the end of the month'
Caleb died on June 30 at the age of 40, and funeral plans are claimed to have been arranged. The event is expected to take place at the house of the '1000-Lb Sisters' star, whom he married in 2019. Despite the fact that the pair's relationship lasted only a few months, Caleb's death appears to have impacted the 36-year-old deeply. In the days and weeks following Caleb's death, she frequently resorted to social media to express her grief to her fans. And now it appears that she has taken it upon herself to finish the arrangements for his ultimate resting place.
"Caleb's funeral will happen at the end of the month," a source informed The US Sun. Caleb died while still in the Ohio weight loss clinic where he met and married Tammy, but he was cremated.
According to a second source, "Tammy drove up to Ohio with Chris to pick up Caleb's ashes and his belongings, as she was still his legal wife at his time of death." In the months preceding Caleb's death, the couple was separated and discussing divorce.
His family lives in Evansville, Indiana, but Tammy has decided to have Caleb's funeral at her modest $76,000 Kentucky house, according to the first source. Tammy will have a difficult week because her birthday falls just days before the funeral. It's unclear whether the '1000-Lb Sisters' film team will be present to capture the small event. The project was suspended a few weeks ago after the family got into a furious disagreement while filming in Florida.
No rush to remarry
She's taking her time. Tammy has stated unequivocally that she does not intend to remarry following the loss of her husband, Caleb. Tammy came to TikTok on Wednesday, July 19, and recorded a video of herself using the popular filter "I will end 2023," which apparently predicts what will happen in the near future. Furthermore, Tammy covered her lips in surprise as the filter stopped on "engaged."
"Lol, not happening," the reality personality captioned a video of herself. The TLC star's good fortune comes just three weeks after her husband, Caleb, died at the age of 40.
