(Reuters) – Actor Matthew Perry, who died on Saturday at age 54, was laid to rest yesterday at a Los Angeles cemetery in a service attended by relatives and castmates from the hit 1990s television sitcom “Friends,” show business media reported, citing photographs.
Mourners gathered at the Forest Lawn cemetery in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, less than a mile from the Warner Brothers studio where the show was filmed. It is also the final resting place of numerous Hollywood A-listers including Michael Jackson, Lucille Ball and Elizabeth Taylor.
Perry, who played wise-cracking Chandler Bing on “Friends” from 1994 to 2004, was found dead in his Los Angeles home, generating an outpouring of grief from fans and fellow celebrities. The five surviving co-stars of the show paid tribute on Monday to their fallen castmate in a joint message lamenting his death as an “unfathomable loss.”
Media including TMZ and the New York Post’s Page Six reported Friday’s event, posting long-distance and aerial photographs of people in attendance.
All five “Friends” co-stars – Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer – were there, TMZ said.
