Reportedly, however, this was not the plan made in Traci’s final days with her family. The insider stated:

“Traci did not want a funeral or wake. She did not want people looking all over her body. She specifically requested to be immediately cremated… There was a Zoom meeting that made it clear about what she wanted, and now her husband is trying to cash in on her name”

Sources say that Kevin attempted to invite the famous sisters Tamar, Toni, Trina, Towanda, and her mother Evelyn to the service. However, no one except her father, Michael Conrad Braxton, and brother made an appearance.

Asserting he knew what his wife wanted, Kevin has publicly denied the claims and says that he honored his wife’s wishes. According to reports he stated:

“She explained everything to the funeral home [before she passed].”

He continued:

“I was with my wife..more than anybody in this world….I know my wife, and when she got cancer, we really started to communicate about funeral plans and I was still trying to find treatments for her and I went to every single one of her doctor appointments throughout our entire marriage. That’s how we were, and now they’re treating me like a [deadbeat] husband”
