garycoleman200.jpgGary Coleman's funeral is scheduled for this weekend at Lake Hills Mortuary in Sandy, Utah. However, a dispute between Gary's ex, Shannon Price, and his parents over the actor's remains, have stalled the burial.

X17online exclusively has learned that Coleman's parents, Sue and Willie Coleman "will no longer see a need to proceed with a Formal Probate of their son's estate." According to Frederick Jackman, attorney for the Colemans, will and trust documents have been provided.

We've just obtained the following statement from Frederick Jackman, on behalf of Sue and Willie Coleman:

    "The Colemans will not be filing for Formal Probate. From the start, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman's intention has been to see that Gary's wishes be honored and that his affairs be taken care of properly. They wanted to do things right away, and they urge those still involved to do the same. The Colemans ask that everyone please treat Gary with respect and kindness. They feel it is time for him to find peace and let his spirit go."


Gary Coleman died a week ago on May 28 at the age of 42. No official funeral date has been announced.
