Perry has been buried at the Forest Lawn cemetery in Hollywood Hills, according to .

The television star's exact burial spot lies somewhere in the Sanctuary of Treasured Love.

The area is secluded from the rest of the cemetery and protected by gates, due to the high number of famous figures also buried in the area.

Perry's resting place is currently unmarked, with an inscription or gravestone expected to come later.

The area has also been cleared of the floral tributes that were laid during his funeral.

Perry's funeral was held on Friday, November 3.

The ceremony in Los Angeles seemed to be an intimate event with about 20 or so people in attendance.

Matthew's co-stars, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, and David Schwimmer, were all dressed in black as they arrived at the church.

Matt LeBlanc also attended the two-hour-long service, joining Matthew's father, John Bennett Perry, and stepfather, Keith Morrison.

LOSS OF A LEGEND

According to a new report, Perry hadn't been in his hot tub for long before his body was discovered.

Hours earlier, the 54-year-old had played racquet sport pickleball with a female friend, who revealed the star had felt unwell and fatigued for the past week.

He returned home from the country club and sent his assistant on an errand.

His assistant found him unresponsive in the water when they returned and made a frantic call to 911.

The television actor was pronounced dead at the scene after firefighters lifted him from the hot tub.

However, his body was not waterlogged, suggesting that his assistant came across him quickly after his death.

ONGOING INVESTIGATION

Perry was believed to have drowned, but first responders were initially called out for cardiac arrest.

Initial drug reports from Perry's autopsy have come back clear for both methamphetamine and fentanyl, according to .

However, these tests are the first of more in-depth processes to come.

A more thorough toxicology report for the Friends star may take several months to be returned, at which point the coroner will be able to confirm a cause of death.

For now, the actor's cause of death has been deferred, meaning that the medical examiner has requested additional studies.
