The late Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky will be buried in the Gunnersbury Cemetery in London as soon as medical tests are completed, news reports said Tuesday.
His two eldest daughters, Liza and Yekaterina, confirmed that he will be buried in London, Interfax reported.
A source close to the family told Dozhd television that the family members wanted him to be buried in London since that's where they have all been living for several years now.
Berezovsky's first wife Nina Korotkova is due to arrive in London shortly to arrange the funeral.
The date of the burial has not yet been announced.
The 67-year-old Russian tycoon was found dead on March 23 in the locked bathroom of his luxury mansion near London with a ligature around his neck and a piece of similar material on the shower rail above him.
The initial post-mortem examination revealed a broken rib but no bruising on his body. Police have said they cannot rule out foul play, though the results of several different toxicology tests will not be available for several weeks.
Berezovsky's daughter Anastasia described her father as a man of "overwhelming charm" in a tribute to him last week, The Guardian reported. She also said that "nothing about him was ordinary" and "he concerned himself most with making his children proud."
In an interview with The Independent published Sunday, Berezovsky's oldest daughter, Liza, refuted recent reports that her father had written a letter to President Vladimir Putin seeking forgiveness.
"I think it is the last thing in his life he would do … it's the complete opposite of everything he did in his life. It's not just not true, everything they say and do is a lie. I don't know why people take anything they say seriously," she said.
