Cindy Crawford's son Presley Gerber will reportedly be remembered at an "intimate" and "private" memorial ceremony with his family said to be planning to keep the service "small" and away from the cameras.
Cindy Crawford's son Presley Gerber will reportedly be remembered at an "intimate" memorial ceremony.
The 27-year-old model – son of supermodel Cindy, 60, and businessman Rande Gerber, 64 and brother of model/actress Kaia Gerber, 25 - died at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica on September 20 and his remains have already been cremated at the Rose Family Funeral Home in California.
Now reports suggest the family is planning a service of remembrance but they want to keep it "small" and "private". A source told PEOPLE: "They’re still deciding where they want to honor Presley.
"It’s hard to make those decisions when everyone is struggling emotionally. Their priority is to keep it private, without media or paparazzi there."
A second source added: "[They are] still figuring out what to do in terms of a memorial.
"They want to keep it very intimate, but there’s so many people in Presley’s life who loved him, the amount of people that have reached out to attend is high.
"The plan right now is somewhere in Malibu because of his love for surfing and the beach."
Presley - who had spoken publicly about his struggles with addiction and mental health - was found dead at a luxurious rehab clinic and his official cause of death is still pending investigation.
Speaking previously about Presley’s death, the Santa Monica Police Department said officers were called to the 1000 block of Berkeley Street at about 9:35am on Sunday 20th September, following a report of a possible overdose.
Police said: “Upon arrival, officers located an adult male who was deceased."
The department added: "SMPD detectives are investigating the death as a suspected overdose. At this time, there is no indication of foul play. The investigation remains ongoing."
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner said Presley was pronounced dead by responding paramedics at 9:45am. An examination has been completed, but officials have deferred a ruling on both the cause and manner of his death while additional testing or studies are carried out.
The medical examiner said deferred cases can take several months to determine.
