Presley Gerber‘s family is still deciding how to honor the late model, with sources saying that his loved ones want his memorial to remain private and deeply personal.

Presley’s family is “still deciding” where and how to honor him, according to a source who spoke to People Magazine.

The insider said the family is “struggling emotionally” as making arrangements has been difficult while everyone is grieving.

“Their priority is to keep it private, without media or paparazzi there,” the source said.

A second source noted that the family wants the gathering to be “very intimate,” although the number of people who loved Presley has made that difficult.

Presley had built relationships across fashion, entertainment, and his hometown community, and his death prompted tributes from friends and people who knew him through his work.

The tension between keeping the memorial intimate and accommodating those who loved Presley appears to be one of the family’s main considerations, because of the growing number of people who have reached out to attend.

The sources said the current plan is for somewhere in Malibu, a location closely connected to Presley and his love of surfing and the beach.

Presley died on September 20 at a sober home in Santa Monica after reportedly going into cardiac arrest.

The autopsy is complete, and his body has been cremated. However, according to TMZ, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has deferred determining the cause and manner of death while additional tests are conducted.

Santa Monica police previously described the death as a suspected overdose and said there was no indication of foul play at the time.
