Robin Williams will have a private funeral in San Francisco, E! News reports. The actor will be laid to rest close to his Paradise Cay, CA home, the same home where Williams' was found dead.

In a new report, family and close friends of the actor have started arriving for a private memorial service, set to be held today.

According to E! News, the actor and comedian "will be honoured in an intimate memorial, restricted to family and friends in the coming weeks." Further, the site reported that Williams' eldest son, Zachary Pym, 31, will be headed to the Bay Area a few fays ahead of the funeral. This is to make burial arrangements.

 A source for E! News said, "It's not official yet, but that's the plan. It will be small. They were both very private people." Williams' wife Susan Schneider is also overlooking the funeral plans.

As for the Oscar winner's fans, they can pay tribute to Williams through a comedy benefit that will be held at the Throckmorton Theater in Mill Valley, CA. The benefit will happen in the coming months. Another tribute on the way  for Williams' is on August 25 at the 2014 Emmy Awards.

Meanwhile, there's a backlash regarding the disclosure of how Williams' died. In a press conference, Sherrif's Office Deputy Chief Coronor Keith Boyd disclosed that the actor died by hanging himself with a belt and that Williams' had cuts on his left wrist. He also added that the body was "cool to the touch" and was discovered by Williams' personal assistant.

In defense to the backlash, Boyd released a statement saying, "The Sheriff's Office understands how the release of the kind of information you heard... may be viewed as disturbing by some, and as unnecessary by others, but under California law, all that information is considered 'public information' and we are precluded from denying access to it. These kinds of cases, whether they garner national attention or not, are very difficult for everyone involved."

He continued, "Frankly, it would have been our personal preference to withhold a lot of what we disclosed to the press... but the California Public Records Act does not give us that kind of latitude. For the same reasons, we will likely be required to release to the media the 911 phone call we received from Mr. Williams' residence and the fire dispatch tapes that resulted as well..."

As for the autopsy reports, which will determine if Williams' had drugs or alcohol during the suicide, will take two to six weeks.
