OCALA, Fla. --

A memorial service for Jett Travolta will be held in Ocala, Florida, on Thursday, Access Hollywood has learned.

The small private service will be to honor Jett, who died at the age of 16 after suffering a seizure at the family’s residence at the Old Bahama Bay resort in the Bahamas on Friday.

The service will be for family and close friends, Access has learned.

On Tuesday, John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston arrived in Florida with Jett’s remains, after their son was cremated following his autopsy in the Bahamas on Monday.

While results from the autopsy have not been released, the assistant director at the Bahamas funeral home, which handled Jett’s remains, told The Associated Press the teen’s death certificate listed “seizure” as the cause of death.
