Amy Winehouse Remembered at Memorial Service, Cremated Shortly Thereafter

Music executives, former band member, close friends and family gathered Tuesday at a synagogue in Edgware, North London, to mourn Amy Winehouse.

The soulful singer with the beehive, velvety vocals and turbulent personal life took the music world by storm in 2006 with the acclaimed Back to Black.

Tragically, she was never able to overcome her demons and passed away just five years later at age 27. Police found Amy Winehouse dead Saturday.

R.I.P. Amy Winehouse (1983-2011).

Her funeral was attended by about 150 people today, including close friend Kelly Osbourne, who wore her hair in Winehouse's signature beehive style.

Mark Ronson, who produced Back to Black, and boyfriend Reg Traviss were also on hand. Not on hand? Ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who's in jail.

No one was more visible this afternoon than her father.

"Goodnight my angel," said Mitch Winehouse, who fought for years to help Amy with addiction. "Sleep tight. Mommy and Daddy love you ever so much."

Sad as the occasion was, there were lighter moments.

Her father's eulogy was "funny," a spokesperson for Winehouse said. He was "telling stories about her childhood, everybody was laughing like a celebration, and like they all remembered the stories themselves."

The hour-long memorial service, meant to celebrate the Grammy winner's life, was partially in Hebrew because of Winehouse's Jewish heritage.

"It was emotional, it was happy and it was sad," her rep said. "It was everything really. It was very moving yet quite very humorous at times."

"It was a wonderful tribute to Amy."

When the memorial closed, mourners sang Caroline King's "So Far Away," one of Amy's favorites that she had performed as a duet with Mitch.

"Mitch encouraged everyone to sing and they did," the rep sang. "People sang."

Mourners then headed to the Golders Green crematorium, where the family is following custom by having the 27-year-old's body cremated.

"I think because her grandmother was cremated at the same place, so it was a family tradition to be cremated," the rep said afterward.

Shiva, a Jewish grief custom, starts at 5 p.m. Tuesday, and guests were seen holding postcard-sized invitations with a picture of Amy.

Winehouse's cause of death has still unclear. Her fights with substance abuse are well known, but it is not known if drugs were to blame.
