The service will be for invited guests only and, in lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to the newly created Hudson-King Foundation.
Plans for a public memorial have not been announced yet.

If Julia IS involved and wants William back in the house, why would she frame him for the murders and claim he did it over the car fight? Wouldn't she at least be bright enough to frame someone else?
Also, has J-Hud's father put in an appearance? You would think if your two children and grandson where murdered you might want to step up to the plate and help find the bad guys. Is he in the picture somewhere?
I agree, Julia had her family killed or she did it herself. If chicago PD does not investigate Julia, it appears they will go down in history as the dummest PD ever along with Nancy Grace!!!!!!!!!
The sad part: JULIA IS WITH HER SISTER NOW......IS THIS SAFE....SHE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE AT THIS POINT!!!!!!!
I agree that giving money to this fund would be like giving directly to the Drug Man......BAD BAD BAD IDEA........people should donate their money to another DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ORGANIZATION, NOT THIS ONE......NONONONONONONONON!!!!!
Racist People, You all crack me up. Always talking about black people. Well I am black and white and I;'ve seen both sides ok. My daddy is white so what does that mean nothing. White people have been murdering and stealing and kidnapping children, and raping and THE MEN ARE SERIAL KILLERS. STATISTICS HAVE ALREADY SHOWN IT. So white people can't talk about nobody.. I have so many relatives white and black and they will tell you the same thing.
That was the first thing I thought of: A Hudson/King Foundation, right, we know where the money is going. Anyone that falls for that is really stupid. I am going to make a notation and check on line for the name of the foundation. Five to One I don't find it. I know the drug dealers will find it.
I checked into the Hudson-King Foundation. For those interested write to The Chicago Tribune.
Have you all wondered why this William guy is still on Jennifer Hudson's friend list too. I have heard so much criticism about Julia still having him on her friend list, but no one has said anything about him still being Jennifer's friend too. I think the domestic violence fund is a good idea, but Im not sure if it was the right thing for this family because we do not know much information on the case. I really hope the murderer is brought to justice. Im really praying that this William guy did not do this, just seems a bit crazy! Julia does have a lot of answering to do, but I do not think she would do something so horrible. Oh yeah, Jennifer need to find another man because at a time like this she does not need a PUNK.. Besides, I think punk only wants attention. Im thinking him and Julia would have made a great couple... Jennifer, I do not believe he is the one for you because he will only be living in your spotlight! Anyways, God Bless the Family and they are in my prayers!!!!!
Please have some decency people, and address Jennifer as Jennifer Hudson, and not be ignorant by saying "JHUD"! That is very disrespectful, and ignorant. Also, Jennifer Hudson's father is deceased. There will be no appearance from him.
For all:
Here's a link to Chicago news coverage of the public memorial service held today at Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist Church:

This makes the sad start all over again
I sincerely hope there were people that received solace and some measure of peace.
Good wishes and positive energy to all. Prayers for all families involved.
Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
