John Travolta and Kelly Preston will say their final goodbyes to 16-year-old son Jett at his funeral Thursday afternoon, the Associated Press reports.

Jett will be buried in Ocala, Florida, where he lived with his family for several months out of the year. A time has not yet been announced.
The 16-year-old died from a seizure on Friday afternoon at his family's home in The Bahamas, according to autopsy results released Monday. His body was cremated on Monday, and his ashes were flown to the U.S.
"John is distraught," Travolta's attorney and confidant, Michael McDermott, and Michael Ossi, the family's lawyer, told Usmagazine.com Saturday during an interview in which they asked to be jointly quoted.
"This is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to him, and he needs to go through a process of healing," the lawyers added. "John and Kelly are suffering total misery. They were so close to their son. This is hard to accept."
Remember the celebs who died in 2008.
The couple thanked fans for their "prayers and support" in a statement released Sunday. Flowers, posters and condolence messages have also been left for the family and their 8-year-old daughter, Ella, at their Florida estate.
Although it's been reported celebs like Oprah Winfrey and Tom Cruise would attend, Access Hollywood reports they have scheduling conflicts.
