Returning home will be difficult, he acknowledges, but he knows his wife will be with him in spirit. Tennessee is where Joey wants them to be, Rory says in his latest This Life I Live blog post. 

"It's where she will be... She's gonna be in the mint growing beside our back deck, the sweet-corn frozen in our freezer and a million other places that her hand and heart has touched around our little farmhouse and community. Joey will still be with us. Everywhere."

There will be a private funeral service. As previously noted, Joey will be buried in a box in the backyard of their home. 

Joey had been fighting Stage IV cancer for nine months, surrounded by the love and support of countless family members, friends, loved ones, longtime followers of her music and even strangers who were inspired by her life.
