In addition, Redmond will be permitted to wear a suit instead of his jail uniform. As for handcuffs, "that will be decided tomorrow," Whitmore added.

Funeral services for Farrah, who died on June 26 after a long battle with cancer, will be held on Tuesday at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, according to the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The former "Charlie's Angels" star was 62,

Redmond, 24, is currently in a court-ordered rehab program at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, Calif.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department confirmed to Access Hollywood that the last time Redmond saw his mother prior to her death was during a court-approved three-hour visit on April 25.

The visit was documented in the late actress' recent NBC documentary, "Farrah's Story."

    Thats so sad that her son has to mourn under such circumstances.Redmonds sentence seems rather harsh relating to substance abuse. This is a very tough lesson learned for the young guy. He should be at her funeral. Is it good he is currently incarcerated,or bad? Bad,being a horrible way to mourn the loss of a mother.Good in early recovery,possibly preventing him from a painful relapse over his mom.

    It is so disrespectful to make comments about Redmond when he has just lost his mother. Jenddavis...you need to look in the mirror as you are certainly less than perfect yourself...it is obvious that you don't participate in having any sort of manners...everybody has a screw-up in their closet so do not judge what you have no idea about. He is not a loser to his mother...he is her baby..

    It woulde inappropriate if Redmond was not permitted to attend his mothers funeral service..She would definately want him there. I know from experience of losing ones mother at such a young age, my mother was also 62 when she passed away. But I also know the loss one feels when a loved one passes and your not included in the services. God bless you Farrah, may you rest in peace..
