The former WWE champion's wife Sky Daily seemingly addressed Brooke's concerns in an Instagram post made on Wednesday.
In a message paying tribute to Hogan and thanking those who attended his funeral, Daily wrote, "Terry chose cremation knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal. He has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first."
"Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect," she added.
Local authorities said paramedics were dispatched to Hogan's residence early on July 24 and transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"We are heartbroken," Hogan's manager, Linda Bose, said in a statement to *. *"He was such a great human being and friend."
Daily, whom Hogan married in September 2023, was one of many who publicly honored Hogan in the hours after he died. "I wasn't ready for this…and my heart is in pieces," she wrote in a tribute to him a day after his death. "He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time."**

While Brooke didn't attend the service for her late father, she did share the private ceremony she had for him with her husband Steven Oleksy, 39, and their twins Oliver and Molly at the beach.
Brooke wrote, "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 💔," she added.**
