A host of iconic music figures gathered for Ozzy Osbourne’s private funeral, held at his lavish countryside estate in Buckinghamshire. The 76-year-old metal pioneer, known for his groundbreaking work with Black Sabbath, was laid to rest beside the ornamental lake on his expansive 250-acre property, surrounded by close family and friends.
Leading the procession was Marilyn Manson, who attended with his wife, Lindseay Usuch. The duo was joined by fellow rock star Rob Zombie, who wore a skull-themed scarf, and long-time Osbourne guitarist, Zack Wild. Many of the guests embraced Ozzy’s signature dark and dramatic aesthetic, paying tribute in a fittingly gothic fashion. A massive floral tribute was placed on the lawn, spelling out a bold message in honor of the legendary metal icon, near the spot where Ozzy’s grave is located.
Another floral arrangement from the previous day’s memorial procession in Birmingham was positioned at the estate’s central fountain, marking a connection between both memorials. This private ceremony followed a public procession in Birmingham, where thousands gathered to celebrate Ozzy’s life. His wife, Sharon Osbourne, along with their children Jack, Kelly, and Amy, as well as his son, Louis, from a previous marriage, all participated in this final farewell.
The Osbourne family appeared deeply emotional as they interacted with fans and laid flowers among the tributes, acknowledging the outpouring of love and remembrance from around the world since Ozzy’s passing. Despite his towering influence on rock history, those closest to him honored his wish for a send-off that felt more like a celebration than a somber farewell.
The ceremony marked a fitting conclusion to the life of a man who reshaped the music world and left an indelible legacy.
