Prince’s body is secretly cremated after being released to his family as heartbroken friends gather for intimate memorial service

Prince’s closest friends and family members gathered for a private memorial service at Paisely Park on Saturday, a day after his body was cremated.

A sea of purple marked the occasion, with many guests opting to wear the star’s favorite color as they celebrated his life. Close friends such as Damaris Lewis, Sheila E, band member Hannah Welton and husband Josh Welton as well as others were spotted entering the property around 2 pm today.
They were greeted by security as they made their way into the studio for the service.

And at one point in the afternoon extended family members including his only full sibling Tyka Nelson exited the studio to greet fans of the late rock star and to hand out memorabilia in purple gift boxes.
