Freddie Starr's body is set to be brought back to Britain and buried alongside his mother ending fears he would end up in an unmarked grave in Spain.
Sources claim the comedian, who died last week at his Costa del Sol home aged 76, will be laid to rest next to mother Hilda in Liverpool.
Relatives have been in touch with Spanish officials after the father-of-six's carer Nelly Georgieva, 47, said she could not afford to pay for a burial and feared he would have a 'pauper's funeral'.
A basic funeral in Spain costs around £3,000 while the cost of repatriating him to the UK is around £5,000, and it remains unclear who will cover the cost.

Starr's third wife Donna, pictured with him in 1998, said the family is 'doing our bit' to get him home but that arrangements were not finalised
A source told the Mirror: 'Freddie adored his mum. She was the driving force behind his career by encouraging him to do gigs in pubs and clubs.
'Though estranged from his children and former wives, they felt it was only right he was reunited with his mum.'
Meanwhile, his third wife Donna, 48, told the Sun: 'We're all doing our bit, but that's all I can say at the moment.
'When we know more we will be in a position we will make that known.'
