Nate Dogg's funeral set for Saturday

Rapper Nate Dogg will be remembered this weekend in several Southern California events, and everyone is invited.

The rapper died March 15 of complications from multiple strokes, lawyer Mark Geragos tells AP. Dogg, whose real name was Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, was 41.

A funeral service is set for 10 a.m. Saturday at the Long Beach Cruise Terminal and will be open to the public, said his sister Pamela Hale-Burns, a reporter for the Long Beach Press-Telegram.

Viewing for the singer will be Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at New Hope Baptist Church, 1160 New York St., also in Long Beach. No cameras will be allowed at either event.

MTV reports that on Sunday, producer DJ Quik is tentatively scheduled to host a memorial benefit at the Los Angeles Convention Center in honor of the rapper.
