On
Friday, co-stars of Matthew Perry’s "Friends" were seen comforting
one another outside the church where the 54-year-old actor was laid to rest.
Jennifer
Aniston, 54; Lisa Kudrow, 60; Courteney Cox, 59; and David Schwimmer, 57,
arrived at Forest Lawn cemetery in Los Angeles, dressed somberly in black
suits, to bid their final farewell to Perry.
Following
the brief, one-hour ceremony, Matt LeBlanc, 56, joined them outside the church,
where they were photographed chatting with other well-wishers.
Along
with his father John Perry, 82, his weeping mother Suzanne Morrison, 84, and
stepfather Keith Morrison, a writer for Dateline, were present at the private
service. Keith Morrison was one of the pallbearers.
“Ms.
Aniston was among the first to arrive,” an onlooker remarked. “She remained
solitary. This is a well-known meeting.”
Forest
Lawn cemetery, located across from Warner Bros Studios where ten seasons of

As
the service came to an end, Peter Gabriel’s song “Don’t Give Up” played, with
the poignant lyrics, “No fight left or so it seems, I am a man whose dreams
have all deserted, I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name, But no one wants
you when you lose.”
“There
was not a dry eye in there,” remarked a bystander. “Both laughter and tears
were abundant. Only close friends and relatives spoke.”
Perry
was buried in a black wooden coffin in a private ceremony exclusively for his
family following the service.
After
the service, large groups of mourners dressed in black gathered outside the
church. A few were observed comforting and embracing each other. Many wore dark
shades to protect their eyes from the intense Californian sun.
Other
celebrities buried in the beautiful parkland include INXS guitarist Michael
Hutchence, Buster Keaton, Brittany Murphy, Paul Walker, and actress Anne Heche,
who passed away unexpectedly in a vehicle accident last year.
