Murphy's widower, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, and her mother Sharon were joined by close family members and friends at the funeral ceremony Thursday to pay their last respects to the 32-year-old star. It was an invitation-only ceremony, reported aceshowbiz.com.
Actor Eric Balfour served as one of the pallbearers at the service, which was presided over by both a Christian minister and a rabbi. A larger memorial service is expected to be held for Murphy in the New Year.
"The Clueless" star passed away Dec 20, after suffering a cardiac arrest at her Hollywood Hills home.
An autopsy was completed Monday, but the cause of Murphy's death has been "deferred" pending toxicology results. Officials previously stated they believe the star died from natural causes.
King of Pop Michael Jackson, Hollywood actress Bette Davis, silent screen star Buster Keaton, TV actor John Ritter and pianist Liberace are also buried at Forest Lawn.
