According to a Fox 5 (NY) news report it seems that Virgin Records stated t that they would be honored to pay for Aaliyah's funeral. Ken Berry, the man who made the initial promise, has now been replaced by Alan Levy, who to this date has not paid for Aaliyah's funeral and is refusing to accept her mother's calls according to Fox 5. Even if Ken Berry is no longer with the company he represented Virgin at the time, and he gave the word of the company that they would handle it. The reporter ended the segment by saying that he is reporting on this in hopes that Alan Levy sees the report and is shamed into paying what should have been paid long ago.
Aaliyah's memory has suffered enough after her death, first with the comments by Star of Hot 97 (and the current airplay of Rock the Boat which has been reported to be followed by more rude comments by Star and crash sounds at the conclusion of the song), to the article by Rod Dreher and the Post's refusal to print Aaliyahonline's rebuttal, to the loss of her website - Aaliyah2001, and the lack of support for her new single at radio and TRL (there's no one to make appearences, no known label publicity, no one to pay for radiofinderizer - who at this time hasn't responded to a pro-bono request by her fans). Her fans have carried on the legacy to make her #1 on BET's 106 and Park - all on their own - Her memory has suffered enough.
We are starting this petition to bring awareness to this issue of her funeral not being paid for by Virgin Records.

- You know, Virgin has done more than enough to dishonor the memory of this fine young lady, and you should truly be ashamed of the treament you have bestowed upon her family, friends, fans, and her memory. It's sad that a company swimming in monetary excess cannot find it in their hearts to do the right thing for a fallen star. It is shameful, and I have lost all respect for the company. If her memory is not shown more dignity than this in the future, and if this is not resolved, then I will no longer support another Virgin Artist, nor will I frequent your establishments such as your Virgin Megastores. This treatment must come to an end and the situation must be quickly rectified, if not to honor Aaliyah then to at the very least honor the word and good name of your company.

- I think that it's a shame that they won't do this for Aaliyah. She's blessed us with her beauty, her voice, adn her presents, and they got the nerve to refuse to pay for her!!!

- I agree with everything he said up above. I am getting very angry that such disrespectful people out there can due such a thing to such a beautiful lady. Aaliyah is everything to all of us and to hear bad news like this come up is getting me very anxious to come out in the open and handle the problems myself.

- Virgin, I am appalled at your continued behavior towards Aaliyah and her memories! I for one will not spend a dime for the artist on your label until you do the right thing and I'm sure when word gets out.. you will be dropped like bad habits!

- I feel that Virgin Records should pay for Aaliyah's funeral being that she was on their record label. I feel that that is the least that they can do.
