Three days after her tragic death, Amy Winehouse was laid to rest in London Tuesday.

Kelly Osbourne and producer Mark Ronson were among the mourners who said their goodbyes to the late 27-year-old Grammy winner. According to the Associated Press, the service took place at Edgwarebury Cemetery in north London, and was expected to be followed by cremation and a family gathering at a local synagogue.

"It was sad of course, but it was a celebration of Amy's life, and the fact that she's finally at peace," a source told Us Weekly. "It's the first time in five years that her friends and family can know that."

An autopsy held Monday was "inconclusive" and failed to determine the cause of the singer's death. 

The "Rehab" singer's heartbroken boyfriend, Reg Traviss, told The Sun he'd lost his "dear love."

"She has been full of life and so upbeat recently, exercising everyday and doing yoga. This terrible thing that happened is like an accident," Traviss added.

Winehouse is survived by her father, Mitch, mother, Janis and older brother, Alex. "Our family has been left bereft by the loss of Amy, a wonderful daughter, sister, niece. She leaves a gaping hole in our lives," they told Us in a statement after her death. "We are coming together to remember her and we would appreciate some privacy and space at this terrible time."

    She in now a part of the "Forever 27" Group. And yes....Kurt Cobain committed suicide. Marilyn was supposedly murdered. But who really knows how she died. It's still a mystery.

    @Lindsay Lloyd...Kurt Cobain did commit suicide..

    I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentShack.çom

    Kurt Cobain was murdered.....he did not commit suicide!

    I feel bad for her family and the other people who cared about her. No parent should have to bury a child-no matter what the issues are.

    Although I'm not a fan of Winehouse, I am sorry to hear about her passing. It's a shame that she wasn't able to turn her life around. Such a waste.

    She didn't take rehab seriously

    Nicole she did go to rehab, MULTIPLE times. Classless joke honey.

    It's incredibly tragic that some of our most talented artists are some of the most tortured souls. Their flame burns hard, bright and briefly...and then they are gone. We'll miss your passion and your amazing voice, Amy. Rest in peace.

    Rest in peace Amy.. sometimes there just isn't enough light to see through the darkness. May you find the peace in your death that you fought so hard to find in your life. God bless you sweet angel.
