Ozzy Osbourne's Final Resting Place Revealed – Report

The Black Sabbath rocker's family bid him farewell more than a week after his passing. Meanwhile, fans have shared mixed reactions to the location of his burial.

Ozzy Osbourne was reportedly laid to rest on July 31, 2025, on the grounds of his family mansion in Buckinghamshire, England, in accordance with his wishes. His burial site lies near a lake on the 250-acre estate.

Loved ones held a private funeral following a procession through the streets of Birmingham, Ozzy's hometown. The intimate ceremony came just over a week after the family patriarch’s death.

Since news of his burial surfaced, fans have taken to social media to voice their opinions, sparking debate online. One admirer wrote, "Sounds absolutely beautiful, idyllic resting place."

Someone else penned, "And there will be no chance probably to visit his grave. But I respect that. Now he belongs to Sharon and the kids."

Another fan commented, "It's honestly unsettling how many people feel entitled to access someone's final resting place just because they're a public figure. Ozzy Osbourne has given the world more than enough throughout his life and career."

More tributes continued to pour in. "A shame the fans likely can't visit," one individual remarked. Another argued, "It really doesn't matter where he is buried. That is where he wanted to be and Sharon agreed with him. He will be safer there than any cementary [sic]. I loved the idea."

Someone else noted, "It [sic] not as unusual as a guy who wanted to be buried in his car or on his motorcycle." Meanwhile, other people saw it befitting for Ozzy to be laid to rest at home.

"Someday the property could be toured like Graceland. His impact is just as big," one fan said. "It would be really neat if the mansion could be a Graceland for Ozzy. What a great way to keep his legacy going one day," another added.

A massive floral display reportedly sits on the banks of the Osbourne estate lake, spelling out a heartwarming tribute to him with the words, "OZZY [EXPLETIVE] OSBOURNE."

In addition, a floral arrangement spelling "Ozzy," originally featured during the memorial procession, was placed atop the fountain. The singer's widow, Sharon Osbourne, and children — Aimee, Kelly, Jack, and Louis Osbourne — stood together to lay floral tributes during the ceremony.

They flashed a peace sign to thank fans who watched from the sidelines. Sharon appeared visibly emotional as two of her children comforted her.

The floral arrangements at the memorial procession also appeared at Ozzy's private funeral. The legendary rocker, who died on July 22 at age 76, had battled Parkinson's disease for years.

The songwriter once revealed in 2011 that he did not want his funeral to be somber. He shared that it would not matter which song was played, so long as his family approved, adding:

"But I do want to make sure it's a celebration, not a mope-fest."

News of the Black Sabbath frontman's final resting place follows the family's earlier announcement about how he would be laid to rest. As previously reported, a public procession honoring Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne will take place on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, in Birmingham. Starting at 1 p.m. BST, a hearse will travel along Broad Street to the Black Sabbath Bridge, inviting admirers from around the world to pay their respects.

Authorities in the icon's hometown have worked closely with his family, who have covered all related costs, to coordinate the event, which will precede a private funeral. This will give the Osbournes a chance to mourn the rock star with all those who loved him for years.

The streets will be closed off starting at 7 a.m., with all public transportation rerouted. According to BBC WM's Ed James, the procession, led by local band Bostin' Brass, will pass the Black Sabbath Bridge and the bench.

Hundreds of letters and flowers have been left there by fans, some of whom have traveled from countries like Mexico and Poland. Anyone who wants to attend is encouraged to show up early, but a live stream of the bench will be available online for those who cannot.

Local officials have voiced their support for this event. The Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, explained that they were going to honor "one of the greatest living legends" of their city.

"He put Birmingham on the map. He put Aston on the map," the lord mayor continued, adding that he spoke with many of Ozzy's fans while standing in line to sign a condolence book days earlier and described their love for him and his family as "immense."

The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is also honoring the icon with an exhibition called "Ozzy Osbourne Working Class Hero," inaugurated by Sharon Osbourne a month ago. Additionally, they too have a condolence book for any attendees who want to sign it.

There are several other tributes to the rock star around Birmingham, including the Black Sabbath Mural on Navigation Street and Ozzy the Bull on New Street Station.

Many may also be interested in The Crown pub, which recently went up for sale, as it's considered the place where heavy metal was born and where Black Sabbath held their first gig in the late 1960s.

Meanwhile, the current resident of Ozzy's former childhood home on Lodge Road, Ali Zaman, created an email address to gather messages from fans, which he will then upload to a website free of charge for the world to enjoy.

Furthermore, there's now a petition that has surpassed 45,000 signatures asking to rename Birmingham Airport to Ozzy Osbourne International.

A representative from the airport is considering how to honor the rock icon's contributions to their area, but there's no word on the possible name change yet.

Ozzy died on July 22, aged 76, only weeks after he hosted his farewell gig at Villa Park with the original Black Sabbath members, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, and Geezer Butler. Many celebrities, including Jason Momoa and members of Metallica, attended.

The band members were all given the Freedom of the City, an honor offered by municipalities in the U.K. to valued members of the community or visiting stars and politicians.

Just ahead of this final gig, Ozzy had revealed his retirement plans. During a conversation published in May, the rock legend and Sharon shared their quiet dream of stepping away from the spotlight toward a life of family and peace.

"Yeah. Get some ponies and chickens, and a million dogs. I want to open a dog rescue centre and a horse rescue centre. Scream at the neighbours a couple of times. There you go," she shared.

"I'd love to say 'never say never,' but after the last six years or so…it is time," Ozzy admitted. "I lived on the road for 50-odd years, and I've kind of got used to not picking up my bags and getting on the bus again."

He described becoming more of a homebody and distancing himself from the rock star lifestyle, adding, "I never go out. I never hang out in bars — I don't drink."

The late rock star continued, "But it's time for me to spend some time with my grandkids; I don't want to die in a hotel room somewhere. I want to spend the rest of my life with my family."
