We reported earlier that Jett Travolta's funeral would be held Tuesday January 6, in Ocala, Florida, but it's believed the service will be held on Thursday, January 8.
Jett's body was cremated (common in Scientology) Monday, in the Bahamas, and friends say that the Travoltas were too upset to attend the cremation ceremony. The family flew back to Florida to make the final arrangements for their 16-year-old son, who passed away on January 2. His official cause of death has been listed as "killed by seizure."
The memorial is not believed to be open to the public, and held in the afternoon. Several celebrities are expected to attend, including fellow Scientologists, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Jett's ashes will be scattered or buried near the family home in Ocala. The front gate of their home has been adorned with flowers, condelence messages and candles since Jett's death.
John, Kelly and daughter Ella, thanked the public for their support and wrote this about their dear son:
"Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives. We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us ahope for a brighter future."
