His grieving daughter has now shared a picture of a wreath, which read: 'Ozzy f***ing Osbourne,' which was placed by the bank of the water.
The emotional funeral service saw 110 of Ozzy's nearest and dearest join his wife Sharon and his children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, who is Ozzy's son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.
A family friend told The Sun that Ozzy and Sharon's home was decorated with pictures of the Black Sabbath rocker - and that they had planned to give mourners a photograph of him to take home with them.
They added: 'Ozzy's service was a beautiful tribute. As well as tears, there was laughter.'
Stars including Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmates, Metallica's James Hetfield, punk singer Yungblud and Sir Elton John were all at the service to say goodbye.
Rock icon Marilyn Manson was also among the mourners who attended, after flying in from the US, along with Ozzy's guitarist Zakk Wylde and Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor.
The road leading to Ozzy and Sharon's home, close to Gerrards Cross, was closed from 1pm.
Guests were sent a simple black invitation with a picture of a cross that read: 'In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne.'
Mourners were transported from The Crowne Plaza and The Bull in Gerrards Cross to the house at 2pm, with the service starting at 3pm.
Tents were erected in the 250-acre grounds of the house, which Ozzy and Sharon bought back in 1993, along with a stage where tributes were paid to Ozzy.

A friend said: 'Everyone at the service just wanted to support Sharon and the kids, it has been an awful time.
'Toasts were raised, memories were shared - it was a very fitting goodbye.
'Ozzy wanted his final place of rest to be at home and he is buried at a beautiful point on the lake.
'As well as the 'Ozzy f***ing Osbourne' wreath, which made people smile, there was another floral tribute which spelt out 'Ozzy' that was placed by the fountain on the lake.

'There was a stage where people including Yungblud, who grew very close to Ozzy in recent years, were set to pay tribute to him.
'The day was incredibly emotional. Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them.'
Rock icon Ozzy died "surrounded by love" at his home on Tuesday, July 22.
Since then, Kelly has been remembering her dad with a series of emotional posts.
In one video, the singer could be seen sitting around the kitchen table with family during Ozzy's final days.
In another, she shared the lyrics to Changes - the Black Sabbath track that she and Ozzy famously re-recorded together in 2003.
Last week, Kelly uploaded a third moving clip from the 2018 series Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, showing a sweet moment between father and daughter as they sang and danced together in a truck.
The video showed Kelly in the driver's seat of a huge HGV, which the pair were using on a road trip.
As Ozzy climbed in, Kelly told him: 'I've got this song in my head, I'm gonna have to play it for you.'
She then pressed play on George Ezra's Paradise.
Ozzy looked slightly confused as he heard the song for the first time, but as the chorus kicked in, a smile spread across his face.
The pair began dancing in their seats, moving their arms, shaking their shoulders and enjoying the moment.
As Kelly started driving, she said, 'I love you,' and without missing a beat, Ozzy replied, 'I love you more."
