Simon Monjack, who died Sunday of an apparent heart attack at age 40, was laid to rest next to his late wife Brittany Murphy in Los Angeles' Forest Lawn Memorial Park Thursday,
Around 75 friends and family -- including Murphy’s mother Sharon and Monjack’s mother Linda -- attended the private orthodox Jewish service in the Chapel of the Hills. It is the same spot where, less than six months ago, Monjack eulogized Murphy after her shocking Dec. 20 death at age 32.

"His wish was that he would be by Brittany," family spokesman Roger Neal tells UsMagazine.com.
A photo of Murphy and Monjack was placed close to his coffin during the ceremony, Britain's Daily Mail reports.
The ceremony closed with a recording of Murphy singing "Smile" accompanied by Monjack on the piano.
Before his death, Monjack had been establishing a Brittany Murphy Foundation dedicated to supporting youth in the arts. Murphy's mother Sharon will now take over.

17Soo sad...
In the heavens they are together.
This is so sad and I am happy that they will be together forever now. Life is such a mystery..
Screw Simon...I'm a fan of Brittany and have been for years-if you read all the things he did to her, you wouldn't be talking nicely of him. None of Brittany's fans like(d) him...it was just announced he had a first wife who left him because he abused her. Everyone don't call Brittany a druggie because she wasn't, Simon was the real drug addict and conjack=/ R.I.P. Brittany 12/20/09
Sammi to speak ill of the dead is DISGUSTING- shame on you!
what a sad and tragic end....RIP
I didn't know anything about these two until the lady died and I am not a druggie, but I care.
who cares about these druggy loosers!
Rest together now, Brittany and Simon. We loved you !
Well now maybe you ignorant people that were saying Sharon killed Britney AND Simon will shut up, and also those saying that Simon OD'D on drugs will also shut up. It is obvious that drugs had NOTHING to do with his death. The man had a heart condition that needed fixed with surgery that he wanted to put off in order to do something to honor his wife!
I hope they are happy now and god is taking care of them
is there a reason why we'd think he wouldn't be buried next to her? that is her husband....
Well, at least they are together now. May they rest in peace. Still miss Brittany and hope her mom is doing okay. That poor woman. :( But, she is strong. She'll make it through.
May they both rest in peace -- together. Two young lives gone too soon. Bless them both.
Brittany's mother is so strong. You should hear the 911 call by TMZ. Its so sad.
What a shame, both too young to die. May they both find each other on the other side and rest in peace.
I hope Brittany's Mom is doing ok. That women needs all the support she can get.
