Fave outfit ready for funeral

Debbie Reynolds may be buried in one of her favorite red dress suits — which she wore to dazzle at red-carpet events and charity fund-raisers.

The actress’ surviving child, Todd Fisher, was spotted leaving a memorial park in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, with a member of the planning party clutching the outfit.

Reynolds appeared in the dress suit alongside daughter Carrie Fisher at a charity roast of Jane Fonda in 2006.

TMZ reported Thursday that the iconic mother-daughter duo may have a dual funeral, which could take place at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where they have a family plot. Todd had been visiting the cemetery on Thursday when he was photograph­ed with the man who was holding Reynolds’ outfit.

The Hollywood legend passed away Wednesday at age 84 just one day after Fisher died from a heart attack she suffered the Friday before.

Fisher, the 60-year-old “Star Wars” actress, had been on a plane from London to LA when she went into cardiac arrest.

Her brother is reportedly looking into a small, private ceremony for the pair, followed by a larger memorial service — claiming it’s what the Hollywood legends would have wanted.

The funeral plans may be complicate­d, however, now that the LA County coroner is “not sure how to proceed” with Fisher’s autopsy, due to lack of communicat­ion from the late actress’ kin, who have now dealt with two devastatin­g losses this week.

When the Los Angeles County coroner reached out to Fisher’s next of kin, actresss daughter Billie Lourd, she de-ferred the call to her father, CAA co-chairman Bryan Lourd, according to TMZ.

Officials said they are still waiting to hear back from family members to figure out what to do.

Meanwhile, an HBO documentar­y about Fisher and Reynolds that was set to air in March has been moved up to an earlier date following their passing.

“Bright Lights” — which was directed by Alexis Bloom and Fisher Stevens — will now be shown on Jan. 7, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The piece is said to feature “vintage family films that bring iconic old-world Hollywood to life, as well as extensive vérité footage,” HBO reported.
