The legendary actor - who starred in more than 150 films in his career - was remembered at a ceremony yesterday. He passed away at his home in Las Vegas last week, aged 85.
Among the 400 mourners at the Palm Mortuary And Cemetery in Green Valley were the actor's daughter Jamie Lee Curtis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rich Little and Ron Jeremy. Hundreds of members of the public also lined up outside the mortuary for the chance to say goodbye to the Hollywood star.
The ceremony was opened by a montage of some of Curtis's best-known work, while paintings he had crafted were also displayed. Jamie Lee, Schwarzenegger and Curtis's wife Jill were among the speakers.
According to The AP, the star was buried with some of his favourite possessions including an iPhone, driving gloves and a Stetson hat.
