Funeral arrangements for the late B.B. King have been revealed. A public viewing has been scheduled for next Saturday, May 29 at the B.B. King Museum in Indianola beginning from 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. A funeral service is slated to be staged the following day, May 30 at the Bell Grove Missionary Baptist Church from 11 A.M. to 3 P.M.

The 15-time Grammy winner will be buried later that day in a private ceremony at the museum, which King helped develop, with a procession led from the church to the museum set to be kicked off at 4 P.M. Private graveside service for family and friends, meanwhile, will be taking place at 5 P.M. "We feel comfortable knowing his final resting place will receive perpetual care at the museum," Dion Brown, executive director of the museum, said in a statement.

B.B. King passed away peacefully in his sleep at 9:40 P.M. PDT last Thursday, May 14 at his home in Las Vegas. He was 89 years old.
