The service started 15 minutes behind schedule.
Elizabeth Taylor had one final request fulfilled on Thursday. She was late to her own funeral.
The legendary actress was buried fifteen minutes later than scheduled on Thursday at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif., in a small, private funeral held for her friends and family.
However, delaying the funeral wasn’t an accident, it was because of instructions she had left.
"She even wanted to be late for her own funeral," a family rep said in a statement, reports People.
Taylor was laid to rest in the same cemetery as her friend and pop star, Michael Jackson, according to the NY Daily News.
"She left a legacy with her beauty, her acting and her caring for others,” said fan Olivia Morrissette, 50, a legal secretary from Glendale. “This is a special place now, with Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson.”
The actress had a closed casket draped with gardenias, violets, and lily of the valley.
Taylor passed away Wednesday of congestive heart failure at the age of 79. She is survived by four children and 10 grandchildren.
A public service in her honor is supposed to be held sometime in the future.
