According to RadarOnline, the Fast & The Furious star was transferred from the mortuary at Los Angeles cemetery Forest Lawn Memorial Park to a crematory in Glendale, California.
Cremation: The remains of Paul Walker, pictured, were cremated Thursday ahead of a small family-only ceremony on Saturday
A source told the website the family 'intends on dividing Paul's ashes between an urn and keepsakes.'
The funeral will be held on the weekend and only family are invited, though it has been reported some of Walker's Fast & Furious co-stars will attend.
The news comes a day after the beloved actor's family toured the Hollywood cemetery, looking for the perfect place to lay their loved one to rest.
Walker was killed last month when the Porsche he was traveling in crashed and burned in Santa Clarita.
On Wednesday, Walker's father, Paul Walker Sr., brother, Cody Walker, 25, and other family members finalized plans for the actor's funeral service. They also walked around the grounds of the cemetery, choosing a grave site plot.
His family will mourn the star in a very private service, though TMZ reported certain cast and crew from the 'Fast & Furious' movies will be invited because he considered them kin.
The Walkers are keen, however, to avoid throngs of media and fans, to protect the actor's daughter Meadow, 15, who is 'broken up' over her dad's death.

Earlier this week, the family claimed plastic road markers may have been responsible for the crash that killed the star after stunt experts claimed the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT driven by Walker's friend hit the markers, called Bott's Dots, and careered out of control.

According to TMZ, sources close to his family said that having visited the site, the experts claimed the bumps may have caused the car to hydroplane, resulting in the driver losing control.
Walker and driver Roger Rodas died on November 30 when their car hit a pole and tree and caught fire in the Los Angeles suburb.
The experts told the family that the car could have lost traction after hitting the bumps, which are used to separate lanes of traffic, and skidded off the road.
The claims come after question marks were raised over the safety of the car itself following the crash.
bott's Dots: Paul Walker's family have claimed that experts have said that road markers called Bott's Dots (circled) may have been the cause of the crash that killed him According to TMZ, the family say that experts have told them the bumps may have caused the car to hydroplane and the driver to lose control
The Porsche was being driven by the Hollywood star's friend and business partner Rodas.
It has since emerged that car experts have long expressed concern about the souped-up model's suitability for the road, due to its ultra light carbon-fiber frame and 5.7 liter race-derived V10 engine.
It has a flat out speed of 205 miles per hour and its design is derived from earlier Porsche Le Mans models.
Porsche knew of the car's sensitivity when they launched the model in 2004.
According to TMZ, a memo circulated to sales staff said of the GT Carrera: 'This vehicle cannot drive over a Foster Beer can that is lying on its side.'
'You need to be aware of what type of road surface you are on (dips; pot holes, seam heights, etc.)
'The Carrera GT is as close to a racecar as we will ever get, this car has all the disadvantages of a racecar.

Police have revealed that a second man has been charged with stealing a piece of the wreckage of the Porsche that Walker was a passenger in when he was killed.
Anthony Janow, 25, was released on $60,000 bail following the charges.
Prosecutors say that Janow and 18-year-old Jameson Witty stole a roof panel from the wreck as it was being towed away from the site.
The pair could face up to four-and-a-half years in prison for the offense.
Witty, who is also free on bail, was caught on video stealing the T-top roof of the Porsche right off the tow truck and afterwards he even bragged about the heist by posting pics of the stolen wreckage on Instagram.
The wrecked Porsche Carrera GT was being hauled by a flat-bed tow truck hours after the wreck that claimed the movie star and friend Roger Rodas, who was driving the vehicle when it crashed.
The tow truck stopped at a red light and a male jumped out of a car following it to grab a piece of the car – he then hopped back into his car and sped away, according to police.
The tow truck driver immediately reported the theft.
A search warrant was executed on Thursday, and police found the stolen car panel - a part from the sports car's roof.
Witty has since taken to Instagram to apologize for his actions. 'I wanted to say my intentions for the piece I took off the two truck were to make a memorial out of it. Paul was a childhood idol to me and many.
The investigation into the crash that killed both Walker and Rodas is still ongoing.
