From SMH:

Heath Ledger’s family and loved ones have held a private memorial service at a chapel in Los Angeles.

The service took place under heavy security last night at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary in a bid to thwart paparazzi and US religious extremists.

Religious groups vowed to picket the memorial because of Ledger’s performance as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.

There are times I wish there was a hell, so people like Fred Phelps could get what they deserve.
