The body of Brittany Murphy has allegedly arrived at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills, TMZ reports. The funeral for the actress, who died at age 32 Sunday, is scheduled for Christmas Eve, and is said to be "strictly private," says E! News. So far, no public memorial has been announced.

Murphy's cause of death — she reportedly suffered full cardiac arrest — has yet to be officially reckoned. L.A. coroners completed an autopsy Monday, but explained to UsMagazine.com that results would be deferred for four to six weeks, pending toxicology, histiological and neurological tests.

The L.A.
