Ozzy Osbourne admitted he ‘didn’t want to be buried in America’ in a moving documentary filmed just weeks before his death.
The Black Sabbath hitmaker died of heart failure at the property on July 22, just two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his bandmates at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham.
And in the one-off film Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, the rocker shared his plans to return to the UK, as he didn’t want to be buried in a US cemetery.
Speaking from his home in Los Angeles, he said: ‘I don’t want to be buried in America. They’ve got a cemetery called Forest Lawn.’
Describing it as ‘the McDonald’s version of a cemetery,’ the rocker added he was looking forward to enjoying ‘an English summer’, back in the UK.
Ozzy also admitted that one of the things he ‘couldn’t stand’ was attending a funeral, saying: ‘I just don’t go.’

Ozzy has since been buried in the private grounds of Welders House, the Grade II listed building originally purchased by Ozzy and Sharon in 1993, shortly before the couple relocated to Los Angeles.
The fly-on-the wall show captured Ozzy, who was diagnosed with a genetic form of Parkinson’s disease in 2003, as he prepares for his big move back to the UK.
‘We’re 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,’ he said.
Elsewhere, the rocker’s devoted wife admitted she’s happy to leave their comfortable life in southern California, if it makes Ozzy happy.
She said: ‘It is Ozzy’s decision whether he wants to spend the rest of his life there or here. Home is where both of us are. As long as he is with me I am alright.’
In a twist of fate, Sharon later shared her thoughts on the sprawling property that would later serve as Ozzy’s final resting place.
‘It was just like I could breathe,’ she said of her return to the Buckinghamshire pile. ‘It’s our little piece of heaven.
‘All you hear are birds, little bit of our dogs barking, Ozzy screaming.’
The new documentary will also feature the final love notes left by Ozzy to his wife as they adjusted to their new life in England.
