 After the event , in response to Owen Hart 's death , the WWF canceled the encore presentation of Over the Edge via pay @-@ per @-@ view , and they also canceled four live events in Canada and one in Illinois .

For this show , all storylines and rivalries were stopped , and wrestlers were given the option to wrestle or not . The show also featured interviews and testimonies from his coworkers and highlights of his professional wrestling career . Hart 's funeral service was held on May 31 , 1999 , in Calgary , Alberta , Canada , and it was attended by family members , friends , and over 300 wrestlers who were acquainted with him . Following the funeral , Hart was buried in Calgary 's Queens Park Cemetery later that day . Three weeks after the event , his widow , children , and parents sued the WWF for causing Owen 's death with a poorly planned stunt ; they claimed that the harness system was defective . After the court case had extended one @-@ and @-@ a @-@ half years , a settlement was reached on November 2 , 2000 , when the WWF agreed to pay his widow , children , and parents US $ 18 million .
