Angelina Jolie will scatter her mother's ashes in the Bahamas, it has been reported.

The actress chose the secret spot in the idyllic cluster of islands because mother Marcheline Bertrand loved spending time there.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was one of her favorite places, so Angelina wants this to be special."

Marcheline, who lost her lengthy battle with cancer on January 27, was with Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt when she passed away aged 56 on Saturday (27.01.07).

It was revealed earlier this week that Marcheline died happy in the knowledge her daughter had finally found love and stability.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Everybody cried. Marcheline told Angelina and Brad that she loved them. It was incredibly emotional.

"Marcheline approved of their relationship completely and Brad loved her."

When Angelina's daughter Shiloh was born last year, Marcheline - who had small roles in 80s movies 'Lookin' to Get Out' and 'The Man Who Loved Women' - said: "My heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and

Angelina's third child. Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children.

"I love Brad, he is wonderful."
