Anne Heche’s remains were laid to rest on a very special date: Mother’s Day.
The actress – who died following a fiery car crash and ensuing coma in August 2022 – was interred at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery – Cathedral Mausoleum over the weekend.
According to TMZ, it was a “special yet emotional ceremony for those who loved her most.”
The outlet also reports that Heche was cremated and her crypt is near musicians Chris Cornell, Johnny Ramone and Mickey Rooney, at a “spot with a beautiful view of the lake located within the cemetery’s Garden of Legends.”
As Pvnew previously reported, the “Donnie Brasco” star plowed her blue Mini Cooper into a suburban house in Los Angeles last August, which left her “severely burned” and “intubated.”
The mother-of-two slipped into a coma and never regained consciousness, dying days later. She was 53.
“We have lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother and a loyal friend,” the actress’ rep told Pvnew after her death.
“Anne will be deeply missed, but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work and her passionate advocacy,”
Heche’s older son, Homer Laffoon, 21, told Pvnew in a statement last year that her resting place is “a living place, where people attend movies and concerts and other events.”
He added, “We are convinced our Mom would love the site we have chosen for her; it’s beautiful, serene and she will be among her Hollywood peers.
Homer was granted control of his late mother’s estate last December after a bitter legal battle between him and Heche’s ex-partner, James Tupper, father of he and Heche’s 14-year-old son, Atlas.
Tupper, who was with Heche from 2007 until 2018, claimed that Laffoon was “hostile” to his younger half-brother.
However, it seems that the fracas might be mended as they both honored their mom on Mother’s Day.
“She loved everyone so passionately and deeply and her children, her legacy, thank everyone for their support and love through this difficult time and are grateful to be able to honor their mother, [Sunday] on Mother’s Day,” a rep said of Sunday’s service.
