Casey Kasem died on June 15, and a month later, he has not been buried.

Jean Kasem, his second wife who he married in the 1980s, has the rights to his body, said a spokesman for Kerri Kasem, Casey's daughter, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

His body continues to be at a Tacoma, Washington funeral home.

His older children from his first marriage want him to be buried in Glendale, California at Forest Lawn Cemetery because it is where he wanted to be buried, said spokesman Danny Deraney.

Although Jean collected Casey's remains, it was not clear what arrangements she had made, according to Scott Thompson, a hospital spokesman for St. Anthony Hospital. 

Casey Kasem was hospitalized for two weeks in Washington before his death.

His children released a statement through Don Pitts, Casey's agent.

"Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken," the statement said. "The world will miss Casey Kasem, an incredible talent and humanitarian; we will miss our Dad."

He died from sepsis, which was caused by an ulcerated bedsore. Casey was suffering from Lewy body disease, the next most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's, and his oldest children were battling Jean for control of medical decisions for Casey. But the children decided not to fight Jean for possession of his remains.

After Jean took Casey out of a nursing home, a California judge gave Kerri power of attorney on a temporary basis.

Casey Kasem became the host of "American Top 40" in 1970.

"When we first went on the air, I thought we would be around for at least 20 years. I knew the formula worked. I knew people tuned in to find out what the No. 1 record was," he said in 1989.
