Anne Heche Laid to Rest on Mother's Day, 9 Months After Actress' Sudden Death
Anne Heche has been cremated and laid to rest nine months after succumbing to the injuries she sustained from a fiery car accident.
On Sunday, May 14, her two sons, other family members and a few friends bid their final farewell to the actress during a ceremony at the Cathedral Mausoleum inside the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
"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, on Mother's Day," the actress' rep shared in a statement.
Her crypt features her photo, a rendering of a butterfly and the phrase "live in love." It also describes her as a "mother, actress, writer, director, creator and believer."
Heche was 53 at the time of the accident, and shortly after, her sons revealed that they thought this cemetery is where she would have wanted to be buried.
"My brother Atlas and I want to thank Tyler, Noelle and all the amazing people at Hollywood Forever for their kindness, compassion and generosity of spirit," Homer Laffoon, 21, shared at the time. "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."
