The screen legend, who died on Wednesday of heart failure aged 79, will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn in Glendale in California where the extremely private ceremony was held for her close family and friends, TMZ reported.

It was first thought that Taylor would be laid to rest at a crypt next to her parents at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, but it has been confirmed that her body will be kept in a Great Mausoleum on the cemetery’s grounds, in a gated crypt which is off limits to the public.

The immediate funeral service is in line with Taylor’s Jewish faith, which she converted to in 1959 before she married her fourth of seven husbands, Jewish singer Eddie Fisher.
