At her request, there will be no funeral for modern dance pioneer Martha Graham.

Ronald Protas, Graham’s closest aide and probable successor, said Tuesday in New York that “following her wishes, there will be no funeral service and in lieu of any service, contributions can be made to the Martha Graham School Center for Contemporary Dance.”

Protas said plans for a memorial for Graham, who died Monday at age 96, had not yet been set.
