By Jocelyn Vena Corey Feldman and Corey Haim Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images Corey Haim will be buried on Tuesday in his native Toronto, but Haim’s longtime friend, Corey Feldman , won’t attend the funeral. In a statement to MTV News, Feldman says that he is planning a memorial set to take place in Los Angeles. “In the days following my best friend Corey Haim’s death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me,” Feldman said. “I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey’s funeral, however due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey’s funeral on Tuesday a small private affair. “Understanding the recent media attention and to be respectful of the family’s wishes I have decided not to attend,” he continued. “Instead I will remain in Los Angeles quietly mourning and planning his memorial. As a sign of respect I am asking the media to honor Corey Haim by making the same choice.” Feldman expects to have a memorial underway in the next month, where friends and fans of the actor can pay their final respects. “I am working with a few people who were close to Corey to put a memorial together within the next month,” he said. “At that time, the media will be invited to honor and celebrate the legacy he has left behind, along with friends, fans and the rest of the Hollywood community.” Related Videos Remembering Corey Haim Related Photos Corey Haim: A Life In Photos
