Ryan O'Neal Is Buried Next to Farrah Fawcett in Los Angeles 2 Weeks After His Death

Ryan O'Neal has been laid to rest next to his longtime partner Farrah Fawcett.

The actor, who died Dec. 8, at age 82, was buried at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary in Los Angeles, according to his death certificate, obtained by PEOPLE.

His burial service was held on Saturday at the gravesite next to Fawcett, who died at 62 in 2009, according to reports by Deadline and photos of the burial service published by The Daily Mail.

The photos showed Ryan's son Patrick O'Neal, 56, in attendance, as well as Ryan's ex-wife Leigh Taylor-Young and actress Alana Stewart, a friend of Fawcett's.

While Ryan and Fawcett never married, they began dating in 1979 and had an on-off relationship that lasted until her death.
 
O'Neal died of congestive heart failure and had suffered from cardiomyopathy for years, according to his death certificate.

Patrick announced his father's death on Dec. 8, when he shared on Instagram that Ryan "passed away peacefully today, with his loving team by his side supporting him and loving him as he would us" alongside a photo of a beach at sunset.

"He is a Hollywood legend. Full stop," Patrick wrote at the time.

On Christmas Day, Patrick shared a photo of a beach at sunset on his Instagram Story as he wrote, "1st Christmas without my dad. Prayers up. We miss you."

After Ryan's death, his daughter and Paper Moon costar Tatum O’Neal honored her dad in a statement to PEOPLE. 

"I feel great sorrow with my father's passing," she said. "He meant the world to me. I loved him very much and know he loved me too. I'll miss him forever and I feel very lucky that we ended on such good terms."

Ryan and Fawcett first fell in love while she was married to The Six Million Dollar Man star Lee Majors, who asked Ryan to check in on Fawcett while he was away filming. They went on a date, which Ryan once described to the Los Angeles Times: “We sat and kissed and kissed until our lips were bloody.” 
The couple shared son Redmond O'Neal, who was born in 1985.
“I loved her with all my heart,” Ryan told PEOPLE after Fawcett's death in 2009. “I will miss her so very, very much.”
