AMERICAN ACTOR MATTHEW Perry of the hit sitcom Friends was laid to rest at a Los Angeles cemetery during a private funeral attended by family and co-stars on Friday, US media has reported.
The 54-year-old, known for his role as Chandler Bing in Friends, which aired from 1994 to 2004, was found dead six days ago.
“The service was held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles near Warner Bros. Studios,” People reported, citing an unidentified source.
It said the funeral service lasted around two hours.
Forest Lawn Memorial Park, a cemetery in the Hollywood Hills popular with celebrities, did not respond to AFP’s request for confirmation.
Several other US media outlets, including celebrity news website TMZ, also reported that Perry was laid to rest at a “low key” funeral attended by castmates Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow.
Perry’s mother, father and stepfather also attended, according to the media reports.
The cause of Perry’s death is not yet known. An initial post-mortem examination was inconclusive and the results of toxicology tests have not yet been released.
