Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber ‘struggle emotionally’ to plan Presley’s funeral after his overdose death
Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber are reportedly struggling to plan their son Presley Gerber’s “intimate memorial” as they continue to mourn his heartbreaking death at the age of 27.
“It’s difficult to make these decisions when everyone is struggling emotionally,” a close source told People Monday.
“Their priority is to keep this private, without media or paparazzi.”
Another source told the outlet that Crawford, 60, and Rande, 64, “are still figuring out” the details of the memorial.
“They want to keep it very intimate, but there are so many people in Presley’s life who loved him, the number of people who have reached out to attend is high,” the source said.
The star couple reportedly planned to host the gathering in Malibu, California, because of their son’s “love of surfing and the beach.”
According to TMZ, he was cremated at the Rose Family Funeral Home and his ashes will remain at his parents’ home in Malibu.
An insider previously told People that Crawford and Rande were heavily involved in Presley’s life before he died at a Santa Monica, California, rehabilitation center following an apparent overdose on September 20.
“There has never been a situation involving two Hollywood parents being away,” the source said. “They were always there for him and did everything they could to help him. The family was always incredibly close and Presley was deeply loved.”
The duo are also parents to model Kaia Gerber, 25.
An insider told Page Six that Kaia and Presley “were incredibly close” and that she was coping “very hard” with the loss of her older brother.
Sources also tell us that Presley checked himself into rehab the same weekend he died because “he knew he needed help.”
We’re told the model wanted “so, so much to break free from her addictions.”
Before his death, Presley spoke openly about his struggles with depression and opioid addiction, previously telling his Instagram followers so there could be “accountability.”
