Ivana Trump was laid to rest in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Wednesday following a glamorous funeral Mass in New York City.

A source close to Ivanka Trump tells PEOPLE that her mother, Ivana, is buried in a private plot on the property of the Trump National Golf Club, where ex-husband Donald Trump is known to spend the warmer months.

Earlier in the day, spectators got a glimpse of the fashion icon's shimmery gold casket as it was transported from a funeral home to St. Vincent Ferrer Roman Catholic Church on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

After the Mass, which was attended by the former president and all five of his children, Ivana was transported to Bedminster for the burial.
