Hulk Hogan was laid to rest this week. His funeral was held on August 5 at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, FL.

As a nod to his signature wrestling attire, pallbearers wearing yellow boutonnieres carried Hogan’s coffin into the service, as reported by The Post.

Many celebrities and athletes alike were in attendance to pay their respects to Hogan—including Ric Flair, Stephanie McMahon, Bam Margara, Theo Von, Triple H, Vince McMahon, Kid Rock, Dennis Rodman, and more.

“Even In Heaven, He Sold Out Again. The Most Beautiful Funeral I’ve Ever Attended! EVERYONE Was There,” Flair shared on X. “The Whole World Showed Up To Pay Respect To The Greatest Of Them All! Rest In Peace Hulkster!”

WWE has honored Hogan several times since his passing, observing moments of silence on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. He also received a tribute from the White House following his death.

Hogan died July 24 at 71 after suffering a heart attack at his Clearwater home. He was rushed to the hospital but later pronounced dead.

Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, did not attend the funeral. She shared photos at the beach with her children to honor her late father, saying the only thing missing was him in a “pop up lawn chair watching the waves.”

“My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn’t want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways – and I’m so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him,” she wrote on social media.
