Funeral For Buckwild’s Shain Gandee Will Not Be Televised


It’s not very often that an MTV reality show takes the high ground, but, in the case of Shain Gandee’s death, the network is moving in the right direction.

Producers for the hit show Buckwild have announced that they will not record and air Gandee’s funderal.

Parallel Entertainment CEO J.P. Williams tells TMZ that “never in a million years” would they attempt to air the funeral of a deceased cast member. Williams says, out of respect for Shain and his family, they will avoid cameras at the affair all together.

Of course, this would not be the first funeral to be broadcast. In fact, TLC has made a business out of the practice with its show Best Funeral Ever.

Parallel Entertainment and Zoo Productions are not only refusing to film the funeral. As we previously reported, they have asked to foot the bill for the ceremony.

Shain Gandee will be laid to rest on Sunday. In true Buckwild fashion, guests attending the 21-year-old’s funeral have been asked to wear their Sunday best … camo.

Gandee was killed last week when he went out mudding with a two male friends. The truck the men were riding in became stuck in a large pile of mud, and the muffler was concealed below the dirt. As the men waited for help to arrive, they were consumed by carbon monoxide poisoning and passed away. Riding with Gandee was his uncle and another friend.

A website setup to raise money for Shain Gandee’s funeral is now going towards therapy for the family and to help alleviate the funeral costs for the other men involved in the tragic incident.

Do you think the decision to not air Shain Gandee’s funeral was the right move from Parallel Entertainment?
