Heath Ledger Is Laid To Rest

Heath Ledger was memorialized in a service attended by hundreds and a 10-person private funeral Saturday in his hometown of Perth, Australia.

A mourner told the paper, “Kate (Ledger) spoke of the unique bond she shared with her brother, how he would ring her three or four times a day and how he never forgot his friends even at the height of his fame.”

Blanchett also delivered an emotional eulogy.

“He achieved so much in his short life and was capable of so much in the future,” she said.

Ledger’s favorite songs were played at the memorial, including “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes, “The Times, They are A-Changin’” by Bob Dylan, the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” and “Come Together,” and Ben Harper’s “Happily Ever After,” which Harper wrote for Ledger and Williams’ two-year-old daughter Matilda.

Following the service, 10 close family members went to Fremantle Cemetery, where the paper wrote that Ledger was cremated.

Heath will be missed by millions, he was such a talented actor and a good father to that adorable little girl. We found a few photos to remember all the good times he had and what a great person he was.
