 Here Are The First Photos Of VINNIE PAUL's Final Resting Place

The first photos of Vinnie Paul Abbott 's final resting place can be seen below.

The PANTERA and HELLYEAH drummer was buried on Saturday (June 30) next to his brother, PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott , and their mother, Carolyn , at Moore Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Arlington, Texas. He was laid to rest in a custom "Kiss Kasket" provided by KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley . The casket was offered as a gift at Vinnie 's family's request. Vinnie was also buried in some of his trademark clothes, including his hat, shoes and flannel.

Speakers at the service included former GRIM REAPER guitarist Nick Bowcott and SiriusXM DJ Jose Mangin . Also appearing at the event were original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley , DISTURBED 's David Draiman , NICKELBACK 's Chad Kroeger , ANTHRAX 's Charlie Benante , FOZZY 's Chris Jericho and ROUGH CUTT 's Paul Shortino .

Vinnie 's brother was buried in the original Kiss Kasket prototype in 2004 after his untimely death. The coffin featured the faces of the four founding members of KISS , the KISS logo and the words "Kiss Forever." Both Abbotts were huge fans, especially Darrell , who was shot dead by a gunman in December 2004.

A public memorial for Vinnie Paul will be held later today (Sunday, July 1) at Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas. Fans interested in attending "Vinnie Paul: A Public Celebration Of Life" must receive a wristband to enter the Bomb Factory. The line for wristbands began at noon outside the venue prior to the 3:33 p.m. memorial.

PANTERA fans will know 3:33 p.m. as "Dime Time," in honor of Dimebag .

Vinnie Paul explained in a 2006 interview: "[ Dimebag 's] number was three, you know. And every day, 3:33 will appear on the clock, and I don't even mean to look at it, and it just reminds me of him every day. It doesn't matter if it's at night or during the day. I'll be doing something. I'll be right in the middle of something, busy, busy, busy, and I'll look over, and by gosh it's 3:33."

Vinnie passed away on June 22 at his home in Las Vegas at the age of 54. The drummer's death "did not appear suspicious," according to the official report of the event recorded by Metropolitan Police officers. Sources close to Vinnie told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he suffered a "major heart attack," but that information has not been corroborated yet by an official source.

Vinnie had reportedly finished laying down drum tracks for the next HELLYEAH album, although there is no word yet on when that LP will see the light of day.Via Blabbermouth

It was all very surreal and hard to handle, but everyone in that place had so much love for Vinnie and being around each other helped us heal. #ripvinniepaul
