We didn’t think anything could make us sadder than first hearing about the sudden death of Matthew Perry. However, now that details have emerged regarding the star’s funeral, we found ourselves bawling all over again. If you’re ready for another good cry yourself, then grab some tissues and keep reading to discover the most heartbreaking details of Matthew Perry’s funeral.
The ‘Friends’ cast members attended the funeral
One of the simpler parts of Matthew Perry’s funeral that still deeply moved us was who was in attendance. Obviously, the star’s family and close friends were in attendance. Joining them, however, was the core cast of Friends, and they were there to mourn someone they worked alongside for 10 years on their hit sitcom.
In many cases, costars end up drifting apart after the show is over. During the HBO Friends reunion, Perry channeled the dryness of his Chandler Bing character by joking that nobody ever calls him after Lisa Kudrow talked about the cast staying in touch after the show. Now, with everyone in attendance at Perry’s funeral, it was clear to everyone there (and now, the entire world) how much Perry’s life meant to Kudrow and everyone else.
