The actress and TV personality reveals her unique and controversial method of honoring her late mother, spreading her ashes at Disneyland on the 'it's a small world' ride.

AceShowbiz - In a candid appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers", Whoopi Goldberg, 68, shared her heartwarming yet unconventional tribute to her mother, Emma Harris. Following her mother's passing in 2010, Goldberg embarked on a special mission to Disneyland, a place that held cherished memories for them both.

Goldberg recalled her mother's enduring love for Disneyland, particularly the "it's a small world" ride. To honor her mother's memory, she devised a covert plan: using a series of pretend sneezes, she would discreetly spread her ashes while riding the attraction.

Goldberg explained her unusual method, saying she would "scoop some [her mother's ashes] up" and feign a giant sneeze to disperse them around the ride. She jokingly added, "And I'd say, 'My god, this cold is getting worse and worse.'"

Despite her mother's love for Disneyland, Goldberg emphasized that spreading ashes at theme parks is generally frowned upon. "No one should do this," she said, warning viewers not to follow her example. Goldberg also shared that when she informed staff of her actions, they assured her that scattering ashes was not allowed.

However, Goldberg's actions highlight the emotional significance that certain places can hold for us, and the desire to create meaningful memorials for those we love. While theme parks may not be the most conventional or respectful location for spreading ashes, Goldberg's sentimental gesture speaks to the deeply personal nature of grief and remembrance.
