Some 50 members of Taylor's family mourned the actress in a one-hour private funeral service at the cemetery famous for being the final resting place of many Hollywood celebrities, including Taylor's close friend, Michael Jackson.

Five black stretch limousines transported Taylor's family to the funeral, but no procession was held. Officials said the family decided to stay at the cemetery after the funeral.
