Amy Winehouse Has Funny, Moving Funeral
More Amy Winehouse news, and this time, something rather sweet in the face of the story’s obvious misery. This afternoon, Winehouse was cremated as music execs, band mates and friends and family got together to send the singer off at a synagogue in North London.
Her funeral was refreshingly small by celebrity standards, attended by around 150 people, which included Kelly Osbourne and Mark Ronson.
It has been reported that the service was understandably emotion, but also, rather funny in places and ending in something of a singsong.
Her father, Mitch, who has been in the public eye alongside his famous daughter for some time now, constantly questioned about Amy’s wellbeing, is reported to have said:
“Goodnight my angel. Sleep tight. Mummy and Daddy love you ever so much.”
This was coupled with a celebration of her life, including a “funny” eulogy, which saw Mitch “telling stories about her childhood” which saw everyone “laughing like a celebration – like they all remembered the stories themselves.”
The hour-long memorial service celebrated the Grammy winner’s life, with the late-singer’s rep adding:
“It was emotional, it was happy and it was sad. It was everything really.”
The service closed at 1.15 p.m., played out with one of Winehouse’s favourite songs – Carole King’s ‘So Far Away’, which saw everyone joining in at her father’s behest.
“Mitch encouraged everyone to sing to it and they did.”
Hopefully now, this story is over.
