Heath Ledger will be laid to rest next to his grandparents following a private funeral in his hometown of Perth, Western Australia, claim reports.

The 28-year-old’s parents Kim and Sally Ledger have opted for a private funeral to be held at the Karakatta Cemetery.

The Daily Telegraph claims that Ledger’s parents allegedly declined an offer from his former school, Guildford Grammar to use their chapel for the funeral service which will reportedly take place on Saturday.

Ledger's former fiancée, Michelle Williams and her two-year-old daughter flew into Perth earlier today.

Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment on January 22. 

A toxicology report today ruled that the actor died of an accidental overdose resulting from "the abuse of prescription medications."
