Legendary actress Debbie Reynolds may be laid to rest in one of her favorite red dress suits, as son Todd Fisher was pictured with it while planning a joint funeral for her and his sister Carrie Fisher.

Still in shock over the unexpected deaths of his sister and mother, Todd was spotted visiting Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles on Thursday, as it was his first public outing since his mother's death on Tuesday. 

The mother and daughter died within less than 24 hours of each other. The 60-year-old Star Wars icon passed away four days after suffering a heart attack while on board a transatlantic flight from London to Los Angeles last Friday.

Her screen legend mother suffered a suspected stroke while discussing her funeral plans and died hours later at a Los Angeles hospital aged 84 on Tuesday. 

Todd and his wife, Catherine Hickland, along with other family members were seen carrying what's thought to be one of Reynolds' favorite red dress suits and handing it off to officials at the memorial park. 

The 'Singin in the Rain' star has been photographed several times in what appeared to be the same suit given to the officials at the memorial park. 

In one of those instances, Reynolds and Fisher were pictured together during a celebrity roast for Jane Fonda at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia in 2006. 

It's unclear what day the funerals for Reynolds and Fisher will be held, as the latter's autopsy was put on hold by medical examiners in Los Angeles to allow the famous family to grieve Reynolds' shock death. 

Todd, who is now Reynolds' only surviving child, also gave a touching tribute to the pair online on Thursday night.

He shared an artist's sketch of the duo, dressed in the costumes of their most iconic film roles, and told fans warmly how their love was 'everlasting'.

'This is a beautiful love story to witness in my 58 years. I miss them both so much,' he added. 

Fisher had not left any instructions for her family with regards to a funeral.

However, her mother had planned hers meticulously, Todd said, and intended to be buried in a large plot owned by the family.

He revealed that his mother's last words were that she wanted to be 'with Carrie'. .

He later told journalists that his sister's sudden and unexpected death was 'too much' for the 84-year-old.
