The Osbournes said goodbye to their patriarch on Thursday (July 31) with a private, emotionally charged funeral at the family’s Buckinghamshire estate—fulfilling the Black Sabbath legend’s wish to be buried at home, beside the lake he loved.
Compared to Wednesday’s massive public procession in Birmingham, which saw thousands line the streets and flowers pile high across Black Sabbath Bridge, this farewell was an altogether more intimate affair.
Longtime guitarist and close friend Zakk Wylde was among the first to arrive, carrying a guitar case as he entered the gated estate. He was joined by rock royalty including Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, both dressed in black and keeping a low profile.
