Matthew Perry’s Friends co-stars came to only the first half of his funeral, it’s been reported.
Jennifer Aniston, 54, Courteney Cox, 59, Lisa Kudrow, 60, David Schwimmer, 57, and Matt LeBlanc, 56, were photographed entering the service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles on Friday (November 3). The first four were pictured arriving as a quartet while Matt was seen outside the Church of the Hills with them after the hour-long ceremony.
However, a source alleges that the Friends actors did not attend the second and final part of Perry’s ‘family-like’ ceremony, which is said to have taken place in a different part of the cemetery, in the Courts of Remembrance.

“It’s a special, more secluded area. More private. That part was only attended by Matthew’s family and closest friends. Less than 20 people,” an insider told Mail Online. The funeral was made even more poignant as it took place opposite the Warner Bros Studios lot where the cast of Friends filmed their sitcom megahit across 10 seasons and a decade until 2004.

Also in attendance at the service, which ended with one of Perry’s favourite songs – Don’t Give Up by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush – were his parents, Suzanne and his Dateline broadcaster stepfather Keith Morrison, 76, as well as his actor father, John Bennett Perry, 82. Perry was buried at Forest Lawn cemetery alongside late stars including Carrie Fisher.
The actor’s death shocked the world when he was found at his home, aged 54, having reported to have drowned in his jacuzzi at his Los Angeles house on October 28.

However, the initial results of his autopsy were ‘inconclusive’, and so the official conclusion regarding his cause of death – including the toxicology report – may not be determined for weeks. His Friends cast members told of their heartache over their loss in a joint statement last Monday (October 30).

“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,” they said in the statement sent to People. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.
“In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”
