Quincy Jones was laid to rest in an “intimate ceremony [that] included Mr. Jones’ seven children, his brother, two sisters, and immediate family members,” The Associated Press reports.

Details about where the ceremony was held were not revealed, but the family says they remain “enormously grateful for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from his friends and fans from around the world.”

Details for a more public memorial celebration will be announced soon. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Jazz Foundation of America.

Jones, producer of Michael Jackson’s Thriller album and more, died Nov. 3 with his family by his side. He was 91.
