David Carradine was laid to rest Saturday in Los Angeles following a funeral service attended by his 'Kill Bill' acting colleagues Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah and Michael Madsen, along with Tom Selleck, Edward James Olmos, Jane Seymour and hundreds of mourners who turned out to Forest Lawn cemetery, according to a source who attended.

The hearse carrying Carradine's casket was said to have been escorted to the ceremony by a group of motorcycle riders. According to the source, "The service had both sad and humorous moments. The tone was in keeping with how David lived his life. It was very down-to-earth."

David Carradine's brother Bruce told People.com, "There weren't a lot of tears, but there was a lot of laughter." Among the speakers at the service were Carradine's co-star from 'The Long Riders,' Stacy Keach, as well as Michael Madsen, according to the magazine. Two children of the late "Kung Fu" star performed a musical number on the harp and piano.

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

  • Thanks Flute Brother David - for the gift of your Native American Flute - it was an honor to play "Healing Flute Meditation" with you before the audience at The Conscious Life Expo this past February.
