Catherine Zeta Jones arrives at her grandmother's house for her funeral in Swansea, Wales on August 21, 2008.Us Magazine
Zeta-Jones from whom the Hollywood star took her stage name died in Swansea, south Wales, last week, according to BBC News. A cause of death was not reported.
The actress, 38, joined more than 150 mourners at a funeral service Thursday. Her husband, Michael Douglas, and her children, Dylan and Carys, were not with her.
Wearing a black dress with a black lace cardigan, the Oscar-winning star read William Wordsworth's "Daffodils," her grandmother's favorite poem.
She was accompanied by her parents as she left the church to make her way to Swansea Crematorium.
Her grandmother's coffin was surrounded by white floral tributes, including one reading "Zeta", in the hearse.
A message from Jones' family on the order of service read: "The family wish to express their sincere thanks for all the kindness and sympathy extended to them in their bereavement and also to all who attended the funeral."
The actress has always remained close to her grandmother, even flying in from Bermuda just to bring flowers for her birthday earlier this year.

Oh, she's gorgeous like Elizabeth Taylor was in her day, but also possesses that same sweetness in her persona. Brunettes are really stunning!
