London, Sep 16 - Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze will be cremated Friday.

The 'Dirty Dancing' actor died Monday in Los Angeles after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer and his ashes will be spread across his beloved ranch in New Mexico, reported contactmusic.com

Swayze's Rancho de Dias Alegres, which translates as Ranch of Happy Days, was turned into a wildlife reserve and timber farm by the actor who would often fly there in his own plane.

He went public with the disease in early 2008 and repeatedly denied reports he was close to death after learning the cancer had spread to his liver.
