Heath Ledger is set to be buried in his home town of Perth, Australia. The actor’s body was transported today from the New York medical examiner’s office, where an autopsy was performed this morning, to the Frank E. Campbell funeral chapel.

A source at the funeral home says that they are preparing to ship Heath’s body as soon as possible. Although the actor’s family is still believed to be in Australia, his ex-fiancee, Michelle Williams, who is also the mother of his child, was flying into New York from Sweden today.

Michelle Lee, a rep for the Australian consulate said, “Our consulate has been in contact with his family and has offered assistance” to help fly Heath’s body back to Australia.
