Ozzy Osbourne’s reported burial site has caused an emotional debate among fans online, who are grieving the Black Sabbath rocker.

The music legend tragically died last week at the age of 76, leaving behind his wife Sharon and his six children.

His family joined fans in paying an emotional farewell to the heavy metal star during a procession in Birmingham yesterday (30 July).

Sharon was emotional as she joined their son Jack and daughters Aimee and Kelly in looking at the beautiful tributes, flowers, and balloons from fans.

Then, as per MailOnline, a more private service that happened today (31 July) saw him be buried in a freshly dug grave close to the lake on his 250-acre property close to Gerrards Cross.

The word ‘Ozzy’ is said to have been written on a bouquet of purple flowers behind the manor house, and three bunches of purple plants were placed close, reading: ‘OZZY F**KING OSBOURNE’.

And it seems that this is exactly what Osbourne requested, according to his 2010 autobiography I Am Ozzy.

He penned: “Eventually death will come, like it comes to everyone.

“I've said to Sharon: ‘Don’t cremate me, whatever you do.’ I want to be put in the ground, in a nice garden somewhere, with a tree planted over my head.”

He wanted ‘a crabapple tree, preferably’ so this his ‘kids can make wine out of me and get p***ed out of their heads’.

Osbourne joked: “As for what they’ll put on my headstone, I ain't under any illusions. If I close my eyes, I can already see it. Ozzy Osbourne, born 1948. Died, whenever. He bit the head off a bat.”

However, despite the late rocker’s request being honoured, it seems that some fans were hoping he would be buried somewhere with public access.

Writing on Reddit, one user said: “For a man who made himself so accessible to his fans, it would seem that he’d be cut off from people who would wanna visit his final resting place and pay respects. He deserves a really grand sendoff.”

Another added: “I just hope they give the possibility to anyone to pay tribute.”

A third said: "I also wanna know where he will be buried cause I want to visit him."

But understandably, other fans fired back that it’s the family’s wishes and what they want is of course the most important - not to mention the huge procession that has already taken place in his hometown for fans to say goodbye.

Other suggested fans could pay tribute at the Black Sabbath bench and bridge in Birmingham, where yesterday's procession took place.

A final fan wrote: "I'm sure that there will be at least some sort of formal memorial somewhere, possibly multiple spots to give access for all to celebrate his life. Rip Ozzy."
