The burial services for Scott will take place following the funeral at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park in Salt Lake City, UT. Mormon Newsroom reports that there will be no public viewing, but that condolences can be posted on Elder Scott’s official Facebook page or emailed to [email protected].

It is also requested that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Church’s General Missionary Fund at give.churchofjesuschrist.org/elderscott.

Scott, 86, died Tuesday from natural causes related to old age. He has served as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for 27 years and will be remembered for his beautiful artworkscientific mind, humor, and, most importantly, for his faith in God and for centering his life on gospel truths.
