Kanye West attended his mother's funeral at the True Vine Ministry church in Oklahoma City early Tuesday.

Beyonce and Jay-Z attended. John Legend and Anita Baker performed, Access Hollywood reports.

A white hearse, carrying the body of Donda West arrived, and her champagne-colored coffin was carried inside, according to Access. Flowers poured inside the church, which can accommodate up to 2,500 people.

The rapper broke down while talking about his mother, saying he wanted her to not "rest in peace, but rest in paradise," Entertainment Tonight reports.

After the service, two horse drawn carriages transported her body to the cemetery.
