garycoleman200.jpgGary Coleman will be laid to rest this weekend at Lake Hills Mortuary in Sandy, Utah ... less than 20 miles from Salt Lake City.

Coleman's attorney, Randy Kester, reveals to X17online exclusively that a trust is being organized by Gary's mom and dad, and widow Shannon, to offset the funeral and burial costs. Kester tells us that the funeral will take place either Friday or Saturday. However, the family has not yet decided whether the service will be private or open to the public.

A source close to Coleman adds, "No one has located or presented a formal will or trust. We don't know how much money Gary had when he died. This happened so quickly. No plans were made."

As for Kester's thoughts on Coleman's passing, he tells X17online, "For such a little guy, he sure left a big impact on people. We've been getting calls from all over the world. It's incredible. He was such a fun guy to be around."
