Anne Heche will be laid to rest with some of the other biggest names in showbiz at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
The “Men in Trees” star’s body was cremated on Aug. 18, and her remains will be buried at the famous site, according to the death certificate obtained by E! News.
Judy Garland, Mel Blanc, Mickey Rooney, Marion Davies and Cecil B. DeMille are just some of big names who are also buried there.
A spokesperson for Heche did not immediately return our request for comment.
Earlier this month, the 53-year-old actress slammed her Mini Cooper into a home in Los Angeles which then went up in flames.
Her rep told Page Six that the “Six Days, Seven Nights” star suffered a severe anoxic brain injury, a pulmonary injury that required mechanical ventilation and severe burns that required surgical intervention. She slipped into a coma and never regained consciousness.
Investigators were reportedly able to determine that she was under the influence of cocaine at the time of the crash.
A week later, on Aug. 12, the “Donnie Brasco” star was declared brain dead, but remained on life support to allow time for an organ registry to find recipients.
That same day, Heche’s rep released a statement on her passing.
“Today we lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend,” read the statement. “Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy. Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.”
According to the Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner, the actress — who famously dated Ellen DeGeneres in the ’90s — died from smoke inhalation and the thermal injuries.
They also listed sternal fracture due to blunt trauma as a contributing factor to her death, which was ruled accidental.
Heche is survived by 20-year-old son Homer Laffoon, whom she co-parented with ex-husband Coleman “Coley” Laffoon, and 13-year-old son Atlas Heche Tupper, whom she shared with ex-boyfriend James Tupper.
