Amy Winehouse Laid To Rest In London
Posted on Tue Jul 26, 2011 07:55 AM PDT



Friends and family of Amy Winehouse gathered at a private funeral in London to say a final farewell to the 27-year-old "Rehab" singer.
Kelly Osbourne and Mark Ronson were amongst the celebrity friends in attendance. Winehouse's ex husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was not allowed to attend the event due to his current prison sentence for violent crimes.
Reg Traviss, Amy's recent boyfriend, told the UK's Sun:
- "I can't describe what I am going through and I want to thank so much all of the people who have paid their respects and who are mourning the loss of Amy, such a beautiful, brilliant person and my dear love. I have lost my darling who I loved very much."
Amy's dad Mitch spoke to the crowd at the funeral, telling stories about the singer as a child. "Goodnight my angel," he said. "Sleep tight. Mommy and Daddy love you ever so much."
The hour-long service was partially in Hebrew because of her Jewish heritage. "It was emotional, it was happy and it was sad," her rep said. "It was everything really."
When the service closed, Carole King's "So Far Away," a song Amy had performed with Mitch in the past, was played. Mitch encouraged the crowd to sing, and they did.
Winehouse's body was then taken to the same crematorium where her grandmother was cremated.
The singer was found dead at her North London home on Saturday, July 23. Toxicology results will be available in 2 - 4 weeks to determine the exact cause of death.
