Hundreds of people attended David Carradine's funeral in Los Angeles on Saturday evening, June 13. The service was held indoors at the Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills, a cemetery adjacent to Griffith Park. Only those invited, included friends and family of the late actor, who could come to the ceremony.

Celebrities who were seen among the attendances at David's funeral included Tom Selleck, Jane Seymour, Frances Fisher, Ali Larter, Edward James Olmos, Rob Schneider and James Cromwell. Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen and Daryl Hannah, who were David's co-stars in "Kill Bill", also came to pay final respects to him.

David's casket, carried in a white hearse, arrived at the cemetery at around 3 P.M. accompanied by a Hell's Angels escort. In the memorial service which lasted more than two hours, two of his children performed on piano and harp.

The burial was kept private and David's family avoided to be snapped by small groups of reporters who gathered outside the building. Before the service, David's brother Keith Carradine only made a brief appearance and greeted some people outside. "It was touching, but light-hearted. There weren't a lot of tears, but there was a lot of laughter," Bruce Carradine, David's older brother, said about the ceremony.
