Debbie Reynolds was buried with some of Carrie Fisher’s ashes after a funeral service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles on Friday.
Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, her brother, Todd Fisher, and actor Taylor Lautner were in attendance for the burial. Todd was seen carrying his sister’s ashes in an urn shaped like a Prozac pill.
“Carrie’s favorite possession was a giant Prozac pill that she bought many years ago. A big pill,” Todd told Entertainment Tonight. “She loved it, and it was in her house, and Billie and I felt it was where she’d want to be.”
He added, “We couldn’t find anything appropriate. Carrie would like that. It was her favorite thing, and so that’s how you do it. And so they’re together, and they will be together here and in heaven, and we’re okay with that.”

Call me old school but if you want people to laugh at your funeral you gotta go full Chuckles the Clown.
Will Bill Clinton’s ashes be in a giant condom ?? Just wondering
>>I don’t know whether to shake my head in disbelief or giggle at the humor of that.<<
Carrie had a wicked sense of humor.
I think it is perfect.
God bless her and I am sure took her (and her mom) into His loving arms.
RIP Carrie and Debbie.
No, giant cigar
Got to spend about half an hour with her several years ago. She was a thoroughly delightful woman. And still rather humbled that her character had made such an impact on people's lives, for the better.
I’ve seen that her toxicology report has been sealed for security reasons which is highly unusual. I hope she didn’t OD, that would make it even sadder to me.
Actually I misread, it’s not highly unusual to seal them for awhile.
Today, our family is attending the funeral of our 22 yr old nephew who OD’ed on New Years Day, just days after leaving rehab.
It’s incredibly sad.
Maybe they could put Hillary’s in a cash register.
Sorry to hear that. :(
Prayers going out to you and yours. May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding be upon you.
It’s happening all over the U.S.
Our pastor performed three funerals for OD in two weeks. Families were devistated. Our little church makes New Testament available for family and friends. Distributed 150+.
Sadder that other pastors refuse to pray for these young people’s soul
I am so sorry. May you and your family be comforted with happier memories of him.
We did something similar with a relative. Buried some ashes in the plot in something that represented the relative..but it wasnt done day of service. Waited until special order monument arrived
I read somewhere that she had recently gotten back to heroin usage, so that could explain the sealed records.
I don’t find it funny esp given her history of drug addiction
Very sorry to hear that. May you find comfort in this difficult time.
One HAS to be able to laugh about this sometimes. It helps to live with it. It's better than the alternative: constantly lamenting how God let you have a mind turned against itself.
Her issues with substance abuse aside, Fisher ended up with a pretty healthy perspective about her illness.
She evidently fell off the wagon Thanksgiving weekend. I saw an article that had two pictures of her sitting on her bed with two fifths sitting on the nightstand in the background. I think the pics were from something she had tweeted. Sad. It’s true that all the money in the world can’t buy happiness if the demons haunt your soul.
There was a rumor that he had not filled out his burial wishes so the backup plan was to dump his remains in the dumpster outside his Harlem office.
