David Carradine was finally laid to rest this weekend (Saturday), in Los Angeles. This is following a funeral service attended by more than 400 people.
The attendees paying their respects included his Kill Bill co-stars Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah and Michael Madsen, as well as Tom Selleck, Edward James Olmos and Jane Seymour.
Bruce Carradine (David’s brother) said, “There weren’t a lot of tears, but there was a lot of laughter.”
A white hearse containing Carradine’s casket arrived at the cemetery around 3 p.m., accompanied by an escort of Hell’s Angels on motorcycles. The service started about two hours later after an estimated 400 people filed into a chapel on the grounds of the 400-acre cemetery to mourn the star, who was best known for his leading role of Kwai Chang Caine on TV’s Kung Fu.

The investigation into Carradine’s death in a Bangkok hotel room continues in Thailand. He died earlier this month at the age of 72.

Me too, I am not seeing a whole lot about the media intrusion or intrusive photos of the ceremony itself. So glad people were more respectful than usual.
