The 'Prince of Darkness', originally famous for his music and on-stage antics, moved with his family to Los Angeles, USA, in the 2000s and starred in the MTV reality TV show, The Osbournes. He appeared in the show, alongside his wife, Sharon and their two children, Kelly and Jack. The newly released BBC One documentary, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, follows him and his wife, Sharon, as they plan to move back to their home in Buckinghamshire, UK. In the documentary, Ozzy declared his final wish to be buried outside the United States. He was quoted as saying:

For the uninitiated, the BBC One documentary, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, was released on October 2, 2025. Speaking shortly before their return to the UK, Ozzy shared that he can’t wait to spend time with his beloved. Recalling their sweet memories, Ozzy said:

"We are so used to running after the kids, we don't know what it is like to be with ourselves and to be with each other. I can't wait until I am there."

Sharon shared that it was Ozzy’s decision whether he wanted to spend the rest of his life in the UK or the US. Sharon mentioned that for her, home is a place where both she and her husband, Ozzy, belong. She expressed that as long as her husband is there, she feels alright.

Ozzy Osbourne got buried in a deeply personal space by his family

Ozzy Osbourne was laid to rest on July 31, 2025, in a deeply personal space filled with fond memories. His wife, Sharon, ensured that his last wish was fulfilled, arranging it on the grounds of their Buckinghamshire mansion, keeping the ceremony private with only family and close friends. According to a report by The Sun, Ozzy’s final resting place is by the lake at their home, a spot full of memories.

When Ozzy Osbourne expressed his wishes about his funeral and burial

Many years back, Ozzy had shared his wishes about his funeral and burial. In a 2011 interview with The Times, he explained that he wanted his funeral to be more like a celebration than an emotional event filled with melancholy. Further in his autobiography, I Am Ozzy, he also revealed his burial preferences, telling his beloved, Sharon, not to cremate him. He wished to be laid to rest in a garden with a tree planted over his grave, preferably a crabapple tree, so that his children could later make wine from it and enjoy the moment, keeping the ceremony lighthearted. In his words:

"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. A crabapple tree, preferably, so the kids can make wine out of me and get pissed out of their heads."
