Sharon Osbourne Honors Ozzy With Private UK Burial, Faces Future Choice

Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne died in July 2025 at age 76, shortly after his final concert, and was buried according to his wishes beneath a crabapple tree in the garden of his Buckinghamshire estate, Welders House. His wife Sharon Osbourne honored this request with a private burial ceremony, fulfilling his desire to be laid to rest in the family garden rather than cremated, as detailed in his 2009 autobiography and in conversations with Sharon. Despite fulfilling Ozzy's wish, Sharon now faces a painful dilemma: whether to remain in the UK near Ozzy's grave or return to Los Angeles to be closer to their three children and five grandchildren, who have all relocated to the U.S. Friends and insiders reveal Sharon is heartbroken and lonely, having expected to care for Ozzy longer in the UK, and is struggling with the prospect of living apart from her family. Sharon's grief also manifested publicly in a subtle but poignant social media gesture, signaling her enduring devotion to Ozzy after more than four decades of marriage. This situation highlights the emotional complexity of loss and the difficult choices faced by surviving loved ones after fulfilling final wishes.
