Among those gathered to say their final farewell to the two women was Carrie's daughter Billie Lourd, who was accompanied by Taylor Lautner.
Todd Fisher was also there to say goodbye to his mother Debbie and sister, and carried Carrie's ashes in an urn shaped like a Prozac pill.
Carrie was open about her battle with bipolar disorder, and frequently spoke about the condition in her work.
'Carrie's favorite possession was a giant Prozac pill that she bought many years ago. A big pill,' said Todd after the funeral service in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
'She loved it, and it was in her house, and Billie and I felt it was where she'd want to be.'
He then added: 'We couldn't find anything appropriate. Carrie would like that. It was her favorite thing, and so that's how you do it.
'And so they're together, and they will be together here and in heaven, and we're OK with that.'
