Publicist: Casey Kasem To Be Buried In Norway, Against Wishes Of His Children

A publicist for Casey Kasem’s daughter says the wife of the late radio personality plans to bury him in Norway.

Deraney says Kasem’s children are working with a private investigator but have few legal options to prevent the overseas burial.

The Norwegian newspaper VG reported that Kasem was to be buried in Oslo.
