"I want [my remains] to be mixed with my dog, and I want it to be mixed with my dad. I do not want to be buried and not cremated,” she said, adding that she wanted her loved ones to distribute her ashes in  "a healthy mixture" of ways.

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared thoughts on the possibility of having her and her father's ashes scattered in Malibu, California, a place where they shared cherished moments, or perhaps in another beloved spot. She also expressed interest in the idea of her remains being used to "grow into a tree."

When considering her funeral, Doherty imagined it would be a more intimate affair with a limited guest list.

“There's a lot of people that I think would show up that I don't want there. I don't want them there because their reasons for showing up aren't necessarily the best reasons, like, they don't really like me and, you know, they have their reasons and good for them, but they don't actually really like me enough to show up to my funeral,” she said.

“[They'll show up] because it's the politically correct thing to do, and they don't want to look bad, so I kinda want to take the pressure off them and I want my funeral to be like a love fest. I don't want people to be crying or people to privately be like, 'Thank God that bitch is dead now,’” she added.
