Anne Heche's death certificate reveals the actress will be laid to rest at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

The certificate, obtained by PEOPLE, also lists Heche's means of disposition as cremation/burial on Aug. 18. Her final arrangements were handled by the Hollywood Funeral Home.

A statement shared Tuesday with PEOPLE on behalf of Heche's son Homer, 20, read: "My brother Atlas and I want to thank Tyler, Noelle and all the amazing people at Hollywood Forever for their kindness, compassion and generosity of spirit. We are convinced our Mom would love the site we have chosen for her; it's beautiful, serene and she will be among her Hollywood peers."

"Most importantly," continues the statement, which was first published by TMZ, "Hollywood Forever is a living place, where people attend movies and concerts and other events. She was our Mom, but the kindness and the outpouring of the past few days reminded us that she also belongs to her fans, to the entertainment community, and now, to the ages."

Heche was taken off of life support on Aug. 14, nine days after she was involved in a devastating car crash on Aug. 5.

On Aug. 5, Heche was behind the wheel of her Mini Cooper when she crashed into a Los Angeles home. Both her car and the residence caught fire.

After Heche was declared legally dead, the Los Angeles Police Department told PEOPLE there would be no further investigation into the crash — which was being treated as a crime before Heche's death.
