PHOTOS: Joan Rivers' journey to her final resting place begins

Joan River’s coffin was taken out of the Frank E. Campbell funeral home in New York City and to a crematorium in New Jersey after a private service on Sept. 6, according the New York Post.


Melissa Rivers, 46, and son Cooper Endicott, 13, tearfully watched as the coffin containing their beloved mother and grandmother, Joan Rivers, 81, was taken away. Cooper stood by his mother’s side as she kissed her mother’s coffin in a touching goodbye.

A larger funeral will be held Sept. 7 at Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan. Joan had already planned her own funeral in her 2012 book I Hate Everyone… Starting With Me where she wrote exactly what she wanted for her funeral.
Joan wanted all the lights, cameras, action of Hollywood and will have a red carpet at her funeral, a source told Us Weekly. Joan’s family and friends will walk the red carpet before it is buried alongside her.
