May Jagger are seen on the balcony of his hotel suite in Beverly
Hills.
Mick Jagger was a Stone alone Tuesday at a small,
private Los Angeles funeral service where he shared heartfelt
memories of his 13 years with girlfriend L’Wren Scott.
The distraught rock Hall of Famer’s bandmates were not
among the 60 invited guests at the intimate Hollywood Forever
Cemetery service — and neither was Scott’s estranged sister from
Utah, Jan Shane.
The touching ceremony, conducted inside white tents to
keep the paparazzi from interrupting the service, instead featured
three generations of Jaggers speaking.
“You could tell Mick was nervous,” a source told the
Daily News. “It was very emotional. . . . The mood was somber
throughout.”
A choked-up Jagger recalled moments from his
globe-trotting romance with Scott, while his daughter Jade read
Psalm 19 and her sibling Karis shared a poem.
A visibly shaken Mick Jagger and his children were in Los Angeles
to attend L'Wren Scott's funeral Tuesday.
“Forgive my hidden faults,” read Karis, a close friend
of Scott, 49. “Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they
not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great
transgression.”
Grandkids Mazie and Zak, among the youngest of the
20-member Jagger contingent on a warm West Coast afternoon, read
Psalm 23.
Scott’s body was cremated after the service, according
to the source.
Bold-faced names in attendance included Ellen Barkin,
Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban, and rocker Bryan Adams.

Barkin read a poem, while Adams was a former London
neighbor of Scott.
Talent agent Justinian Kfoury, O magazine creative
director Adam Glassman and costume designer Ira Hammons-Glass — who
worked with Scott on the Stones documentary “Shine A Light” — all
shared their “memories and words of tribute,” according to a news
release on the funeral.
But there was no sign of longtime pals Keith Richards,
Charlie Watts or Ron Wood at the service led by the Rev. Ed Bacon,
of All Saints Church in Pasadena.
The traditional folk song “Will the Circle Be Unbroken”
was sung by longtime Stones backing vocalist Bernard Fowler,
accompanied by former Eurythmics member Dave Stewart on guitar.
Scott’s brother, Randy Bambrough, spoke as well, and
his daughter Hannah read a sonnet by Shakespeare.
Jagger, 70, left quickly inside a black SUV once the
service was done.
“When Randy spoke about his sister, Mick was visibly
upset,” the source said.
The 6-foot-3 fashion designer committed suicide March
17, hanging herself with a scarf inside her luxury Chelsea
apartment.
Fashion designer L'Wren Scott and Mick Jagger, above in 2012, were
romantically involved at the time of her shocking suicide eight
days ago.
Scott’s high-end clientele included First Lady Michelle
Obama and Oscar winners Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock.
Jagger and the mourners left the famous cemetery for a
private get-together at the Sunset Tower Hotel, about a nine-minute
drive from Hollywood Forever.
At the somber affair in the hotel’s Tower Bar, Karis
was outfitted in black pants with a sleeveless blue lace high-neck
top.
Nearby, Brittany Penebre, the personal assistant who
found Scott’s body, was visibly shaken. She was leaning on a friend
for support, sniffling softly.
Jagger, 70, has hunkered down with family at the Four Seasons
Hotel, above, after canceling his tour in
Australia.
Jagger, in a white shirt and dark vest and suit jacket,
looked utterly exhausted and grief-stricken over the loss of his
longtime lover.
The famous frontman has yet to publicly address the
shocking death, instead releasing a Facebook message last week.
“I am still struggling to understand how my lover and
best friend would end her life in this tragic way,” he said.
Scott’s sister Jan, who wanted her sibling buried in a
family plot with their parents in Utah, was not at the service, the
source said
The adopted sisters had not spoken in six years, since
the death of their mother.
Security was super-tight, with the whole cemetery under
lockdown and guests arriving by car that parked inside tents set up
around the gravesite.
Guests were asked to surrender their cell phones and
cameras before heading into the service.
Reporters and photographers began staking out the
famous cemetery hours before the service’s afternoon start. Among
those buried in the celebrity-studded cemetery are Douglas
Fairbanks, Jayne Mansfield and Johnny Ramone.
L'Wren Scott's brother Randy Bambrough and assistant Brittany
Penebre attended the designer's funeral Tuesday in Los
Angeles.
The LAPD was later summoned to maintain order outside
Hollywood Forever before a motorcade of a dozen vehicles, including
a Mercedes bus, arrived by slipping through a side entrance.
Jagger and Scott first met during a 2001 photo shoot,
and became a globe-trotting pair for the next 13 years.
Security guards locked the cemetery gates Tuesday
morning, steering aside visitors trying to reach the graves of
their loved ones.
The Los Angeles service provided closure for Jagger,
who has hunkered down with family at the Four Seasons Hotel as he
struggled with Scott’s sudden death.
The singer, whose band canceled a series of shows in
Australia after the death, appeared Monday for about 15 seconds on
the balcony of his Beverly Hills suite.
Scott was just weeks short of her 50th birthday at the
time of her death.
Shortly before the service, the Stones announced plans
for their first-ever concert in Israel — a June 4 gig in Tel
Aviv.
