Brooke Hogan explains decision to skips Hulk Hogan's funeral service: 'People grieve in many ways'

Fox Nation's 'The Life of Hulk Hogan' documents Terry Bollea's rise from ringside spectator to pro-wrestling superstar.

Brooke Hogan, the daughter of WWE legend Hulk Hogan, was not in attendance at her father’s private funeral service in Florida on Tuesday.

Instead, she chose to honor him in what she called "the most genuine way" she knew how, watching the sunset with her family.

Brooke, who is married to former NHL player Steven Oleksy, took to social media on the same day as Hulk’s funeral to explain her decision to skip the intimate gathering.

"My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways - and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how...privately...the way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves... and the sunset."

Brooke Hogan posted a series of pictures to her Instagram of her and Oleksy and their twins enjoying a sunset on the beach. 

"Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved. Molly loved the water. I think she'll be a ‘little fish’ as you called me.
