There will be no funeral service for Gary Coleman, The Associated Press reports.Robert Jeffs, an independent lawyer appointed by a Utah judge to take control of Coleman's affairs while the court decides who the actor's beneficiary is, told the AP that the 'Diff'rent Strokes' star's 2005 will says that there should be no funeral.
Jeffs adds that his power hasn't been formalized yet. "The judge hasn't entered the order granting me authority as special administrator. That's just a technicality; [I] need a formalized order."
Coleman's ex-wife, Shannon Price, and ex-girlfriend, Anna Gray, are currently battling over his remains -- which are set to be cremated.
Gray is named in the 2005 will, but Price produced a handwritten will from right after their marriage in 2007, which names her as the beneficiary. According to Jeffs, the decision between the two women could take months. Until then, Coleman's ashes will be stored.

Last I heard, he was cremated on June 3, 2010 in Utah. Amazing how these stories just seem to go on and on!

This is just sad. They are doing all this legal BS and no one is even thinking of Gary. I say burn all his stuff and money with him and that way they can find out who really cared for him. All I see are leeches. It's just sick. This was a human being. The man had a hard life, does he have to have a hard death too? Is there anyone out there that truly loved this man 100%?

Sad, but true. He seemed to be his own worst enemy trusting the wrong people. When he fought for control of his money, his parents relinquished something like 18 million dollars for which he squandered in less than 5 years? Someone had fun taking his money and it wasn't his mama or daddy. There will be no money left after the lawyers and manager get their bounties.
I totally agree. Did they ever decide if he was murdered? I wouldn't doubt it.
in many states the spouse has control of the body and arrangements by statute..the executor has control of estate
property which typically does not include the deceased!
These Hollyowood/celebrity deaths just stay bizarre don't they..from Ted Williams' head, to the Micheal Jackson and James Brown absurdities and now this....pretty disgusting behavior actually.

Gary Coleman was born in a small Northern Illinois town called Zion. I believe his parents still live there.

I think everyone involved should be ashamed. Bury the man! I think he should be buried where he grew up and leave him alone.
If the ex claims she has no money then use some of the money you made from the sell of those gross pics.
This man was angry all the time. Once he won the case and got the money back he is the one broke. Only he could have spent the money.
I would love to know how much money TODD BRIDGES made off his so called friend doing all the interviews. I bet no one will report that. He is just as bad as the ex for saying people want to benefit from his death yet, I would think he has made a few thousand telling his side . He needs to shut up to. He is as broke as Coleman was. If the truth was known I think they all are glad he is gone. He was mean to every one. Bury him and shut up!

Its pretty sad that Gary wont even have a funeral,, probably because of Price's greed and ignorance.
I hope that woman gets exactly what she deserves in life.
And that means, for this to follow her for the rest of her sorry life.
RIP Gary.

this ex-wife creature is clearly a gold digger, and a rather homely one at that. his untimely death needs to be thoroughly investigated by authorities. her entire demeanor suggests foul-play-you'd be an utter moron to miss that. whatever entity is charged with investigation, PLEASE-for the love of God and Gary, look hard and deeply into this matter. Rest in peace, Gary. You deserve it.

I really hope the Anna Gray lady cared for him. It seems the end of his life was so sad on so many different levels. How can the police not check out that ex wife/leach. She is heartless beyond words. RIP Gary Coleman
