Aaron Carter’s final resting place was discovered by his twin sister Angel Carter.
Angel, 35, revealed the memorial site for her brother in an Instagram post on Friday, encouraging fans to visit the site nearly a year after the singer’s death.
“Aaron’s portrait was placed on Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills this morning,” Angel captioned a photo of Aaron’s memorial. “He adored his fans and I know how much this would mean to him to have a final resting place where we could all celebrate his life.”
She added: “I invite you to visit, share your memories and never forget who Aaron was deep down. 🤍🕊.”
Aaron’s memorial features a portrait of the star mounted on a gold plaque, with an inscription next to it that includes the dates of his birth and death, as well as a sign for Aaron’s 23-month-old son, Prince.

Angel confirmed to PEOPLE in July that Aaron’s ashes had been laid to rest. She described adjusting to his death as an “out of body experience” as she said she kept his ashes in her home before his memorial service.
“Losing a twin, it’s an out-of-body experience. He’s a part of me,” she told PEOPLE. “When he died, I felt like, ‘I have to bring him home and protect him.’ ‘ It was my last way to protect him.”
Angel continued, “I can’t believe anyone else won’t take advantage of it. So, at the time, it was my last act of love.”

Back in August, Angel also opened up to PEOPLE about her brother’s death while talking about her family’s ordeal with addiction, which stems from her parents when “fame and money took over” when brothers Nick and Aaron hit it big.
Angel said sister Leslie’s death from a drug overdose in 2012 made things worse for Aaron. “I always felt it was the beginning of the end,” she recalled to PEOPLE. “Aaron was already in a bad place. I was just waiting for him to snap out of it. But it never did.”
