L'Wren Scott funeral: Mick Jagger and family say goodbye

Mick Jagger and 60 family members and close friends said goodbye to beloved fashion designer L'Wren Scott at a Los Angeles funeral Tuesday.

Jagger spoke "words of tribute" to Scott, as did brother Randy Bambrough, talent agent Justinian Kfoury, costume designer Ira M. Hammons-Glass and Adam Glassman, creative director of Oprah Winfrey's O Magazine.

Jagger's daughters and grandchildren read poems, Shakespeare sonnets and psalm readings for the former model during the private service held at the well-known Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

"Forgive my hidden faults," read Jagger's daughter Karis, a close friend of Scott, according to the Daily News. "Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression."

Scott, Jagger's long-time girlfriend, was found dead in her New York apartment last week as a result of a suicide by hanging, the medical report stated. She was 49. The distraught rock star, 70, was clearly emotional.

"You could tell Mick was nervous," a source told the Daily News. "It was very emotional. . . . The mood was somber throughout."

During the touching ceremony, conducted inside white tents to keep the paparazzi from interrupting the service, Jagger recalled happy memories from their 13-year romance.

Other celebrities in attendance were Ellen Barkin, Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban, and rocker Bryan Adams. The rest of the Rolling Stones gang was not on the guest list, and neither was Scott's estranged sister from Utah, Jan Shane.

Scott's body was cremated after the service, led by the Rev. Ed Bacon of All Saints Church in Pasadena, according to the source.

Long-time Rolling Stones background singer Bernard Fowler sang "Will the Circle be Unbroken," while Dave Stewart played guitar.

Other guests like Jo Wood, the ex-wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, questioned whether Scott's financial situation was responsible for her suicide.

"I think it might have been, for her, a question of losing face," the 59-year-old Wood told CNN last week. "She was such a proud woman that, I think, to face that, well maybe that was the trigger."
