Casey Kasem’s daughter Kerri vows to return his body to California

“When I got there, I just had this sense of peace come over me. He’s not there, he’s with me. And then I felt a little angry about the fact that he’s buried in a place he didn’t want to be .Other people would like to pay their respects…family members and fans,” the media personality noted “I was angry. But it was also accompanied by a feeling of: ‘We’re getting him back. We’ll have him buried where he wanted to be, in California’s Forest Lawn.'”

In 2015, Casey’s older children, Kerri, Julie Kasem And Mike Kasemsued their stepmother, accusing her of elder abuse by not letting them see and properly care for their father in the last months of his life. In 2019, the family members filed paperwork requesting the dismissal of the wrongful death lawsuit against Jean. However, their deep rift remained.

The former Cheers actress has been very public about her disdain for her late husband’s children. “Casey and I were lovingly married for 34 years,” she said in a statement as the legal battle continued.
