Tom Petty Memorialized at Private Funeral in Pacific Palisades
Tom Petty was laid to rest at the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades, Calif. on Monday.
The late musician’s family and friends paid tribute to him at the temple, shrine, and meditation garden, where George Harrison’s funeral was also held in 2001. Petty’s daughter Anna Kim Violette Petty shared photos of the ceremony to her Instagram account.
According to the temple’s website, the grounds were closed on Monday.
“The dark of the sun we will stand together,” Petty captioned a photo of a black and white image of her late father that was on display. In addition, she shared a picture of she and her sister, Adria Petty, at the service, writing: “We care about each other and love our bad ass father.”
Petty posted a photo of the Golden Lotus Archway as well, which frames the Mahatma Gandhi World Peace Memorial. The outdoor shrine houses a 1,000-year-old Chinese stone sarcophagus that holds a portion of the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi.
Tom Petty died Oct. 2 after suffering cardiac arrest in Los Angeles. He was 66.
