Farewell, Ozzy.
Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne was reportedly laid to rest next to the lake of his Buckinghamshire home on Thursday following his shocking death last week.
Funeral guests were seen departing a discreet country hotel and arriving at the private memorial held at the Osbourne family’s house. Ozzy’s longtime guitarist, Zakk Wylde, was there and led the mournful procession.

Other guests that were photographed included Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay Usich, White Zombie frontman Rob Zombie, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and his wife Alicia Dove, and Irish actor Stephen Rea.
Ozzy’s Black Sabbath bandmates, including Terence “Geezer” Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, Metallica’s James Hetfield, punk rocker Yungblud and Elton John were also said to be at the service.
Around 110 people who attended the private ceremony were given a black invitation with a picture of a cross that read: “In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne,” according to The Sun.
Security teams were on hand to ensure the safety of mourners at the funeral.

“Everyone at the service just wanted to support Sharon and the kids, it has been an awful time,” insiders told the outlet.
“Toasts were raised, memories were shared – it was a very fitting goodbye,” they added, noting that a stage was set up outside the estate that Ozzy and Sharon purchased in 1993, with several famous musicians playing in tribute to the fallen rock icon.
“There was a stage where people including Yungblud, who grew very close to Ozzy in recent years, were set to pay tribute to him,” the source said.

“The day was incredibly emotional. Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them.”
A wreath with the words “Ozzy f—ing Osbourne” was placed near his burial spot by the lake of his Buckinghamshire home.
“Ozzy wanted his final place of rest to be at home and he is buried at a beautiful point on the lake,” the source noted.

On Wednesday, an emotional funeral procession took place through the streets of the late heavy metal icon’s hometown in Birmingham, England.
Thousands of Ozzy’s fans flooded the city before the cortège officially kicked off at 1 p.m. local time, and they were joined by the “Crazy Train” singer’s grieving family.
Ozzy’s widow, Sharon, 72, and their kids, Kelly, Jack and Aimee, were seen dressed in black and wearing different items in honor of the late musician.

Louis Osbourne, whom Ozzy shared with his first wife, Thelma Riley, was also in attendance.
After giving the peace sign to bystanders upon arriving at the farewell, the Osbournes laid purple flowers at a memorial filled with notes and gifts left behind by the “Iron Man” singer’s broken-hearted fans.
Photos from the procession showed Sharon hugging Kelly and holding Jack’s hands as she broke down in front of the memorial.

Kelly was also seen hugging her fiancé, Sid Wilson, and their 2-year-old son, Sidney, while Sharon and Ozzy’s rarely-seen daughter Aimee was photographed grieving alongside her loved ones.
Sharon and the four of Ozzy’s six children then followed close behind as a hearse carrying the Prince of Darkness’ body drove down Birmingham’s popular Broad Street and paused at the Black Sabbath Bench and Bridge.
Ozzy’s former Black Sabbath bandmates also attended the procession.

The “Mama, I’m Coming Home” singer passed away “surrounded by love” on Tuesday, July 22, at 76. He died following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease and other health issues.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the Osbourne family said in a statement to The Post.
“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” they added. “Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis.”

Following his death, a source close to Ozzy’s family revealed how the Osbournes planned to honor the late “Shot in the Dark” rocker.
“They’re planning a small, private funeral that will be a celebration of his life,” an insider told People. “Ozzy would never want a mope-fest.”
“They’re very grateful for the special family time they had together before Ozzy passed,” the source added.
Ozzy himself discussed his funeral plans years before his passing with The Times of London in 2011.

What do you think? Post a comment.
“I honestly don’t care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are the Diddymen if it makes ’em happy,” he said at the time. “But I do want to make sure it’s a celebration, not a mope-fest.”
“I’d also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of ‘death,’” Ozzy added. “There’ll be no harping on the bad times.”
