According to Entertainment Tonight, some of Fisher's ashes will be buried alongside those of her mother Debbie Reynolds, who passed away on December 28, 2016 - a day after her daughter died.

Reynolds will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills on Friday.

TMZ reported that Fisher stated in her will that she wanted to be cremated, but Reynolds wanted her body to be buried.
