Rory Feek Posts About Making Plans for Wife Joeys Funeral

Step by step. Rory Feek posted a touching photo of open skies and green fields on Instagram on Sunday, March 6, just two days after his wife Joey’s death. 

“… making plans that I hoped we would never have to make,” the country music singer, 49, captioned the photo, which was taken at his Tennessee farm. In the picture, a few men and a lone horse stand by a low fence and a large group of trees.

According to the Owens Memorial Services website, Joey will be laid to rest in a private service at the Feek family cemetery, though a date has not yet been specified.

In November, Rory revealed in a post to his blog, This Life I Live, that Joey had already made requests about how and where she wanted to be buried.

“And find a good spot in the family cemetery in the field behind our house, where we put your mama’s ashes last year … with room enough beside my headstone for you to join me someday … in God’s time,” Rory wrote of Joey’s wishes.

Joey passed away in her hometown of Alexandria, Indiana, on Friday, March 4, after losing her battle with cervical cancer. She was 40.

The following day Rory shared a picture that showed him and the couple’s daughter, Indiana, 2, back home at the couple’s farm in Tennessee with Joey’s horses. 

“It’s hard for me to imagine being there without Joey, but at the same time … it is where she wants us to be,” Rory wrote in a blog post after Joey’s death. “It’s where she will be … She’s gonna be in the mint growing beside our back deck, the sweet-corn frozen in our freezer and a million other places that her hand and heart has touched around our little farmhouse and community. Joey will still be with us. Everywhere.”
