The funeral was funded by celebrity memorabilia website Startifacts, which donated $20,000 to cover costs. An auction of some of Haim's belongings helped to pay for the service.
Notably absent from the funeral was Haim's longtime friend and co-star
Corey Feldman, who had said he wouldn't be attending because Haim's family wanted to make it a "small, private affair."
Haim passed away on March 11 at age 38 from an apparent drug overdose, though the Los Angeles Coroner's office is still waiting for toxicology reports. The actor's mom Judy has said she believes pulmonary congestion was to blame for her son's death.
