“When Carrie died, my mother decided to change her plans a bit. My mother always said to me, ‘I never want to go to my daughter’s funeral service. I would like to be buried with Carrie,’ he explained.

“I didn’t know she was going to leave us that very next day and when she looked at me to ask permission to leave, she said she wanted to be with Carrie, and she closed her eyes and went to sleep. It was a very peaceful exit that only my mother could’ve orchestrated."

“She was trained in Hollywood where they teach you to make a great entrance and exit…A beautiful exit," he added.

The memorial included an original song calledI'm Here To Let You Goby James Blunt and a performance from the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles.

Final days and death cafes on the Nitty Gritty Committee.

There was also a montage of photos and footage of Fisher and Reynolds and the background music was scored byStar Warscomposer John Williams.

The ceremony was attended by 1200 people, many of whom took to social media to remember Fisher and Reynolds.
