Actress Brittany Murphy was laid to rest at a small, private funeral on Christmas Eve, while a larger memorial service may be held early next year.
Family spokesman Alex Ben Block said the Thursday funeral for the Clueless and Girl, Interrupted actress was invitation-only at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills.
The 32-year-old actress died after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home on Sunday. Authorities continue to investigate the death. An autopsy performed Monday was inconclusive, and the coroner's office is awaiting results of toxicology and tissue tests before determining an official cause of death.
Murphy's film roles included playing Eminem's love interest in 8 Mile and Ashton Kutcher's wife in Just Married. She starred as a suspicious girlfriend in 2004's Little Black Book and a barmaid with an abusive ex-boyfriend in 2005's Sin City.
Murphy was juggling multiple movie projects in the months before her unexpected death, wrapping two indie thrillers over the summer and preparing to shoot a romantic comedy next month. The future of that film and Murphy's other thriller, Something Wicked, is uncertain. Neither has secured theatrical distribution.
The private funeral Thursday afternoon was to be an intimate affair, Block said, noting the irony that Murphy loved Christmas and would be buried on Christmas Eve.
