A funeral service for actress Natasha Richardson was held Sunday afternoon in Millbrook, N.Y., where she wed actor Liam Neeson and raised their two sons.

Neeson was among the pallbearers for his wife's coffin, made of dark brown wood, as it was taken into St. Peter's Episcopal Church early Sunday afternoon, according to the Associated Press. He arrived with his sons, Micheal, 13, and Daniel, 12, and mother-in-law, Vanessa Redgrave. Aunt Lynn Redgrave and sister Joely Richardson followed.

Actor Ralph Fiennes was also at the funeral, which was open to family and close friends.

Richardson, 45, died March 18 of internal brain bleeding after suffering a head injury during a skiing accident in Canada.

On Friday, her family and friends -- including Diane Sawyer, Matthew Modine and Uma Thurman , among others -- paid their respects at a private wake at the American Irish Historical Society in NYC.

    Isn't it interesting that Liam Neeson just waves at the photographers and the whole family lines up in front of the church for a photo.... yeah, the paps can get out of line but it's often the celebs who over-react to getting their pic taken. Liam realizes its all part of the biz. He's probably happy to have all those pap photos of Natasha right now.

    It's so sad when someone this young dies -needlessly. Of course, timing(per getting to a hospital) & the course of events along the way surely paved the way to her death. May God comfort & receive her & bless her family & friends. May He also rid us of the "evil," greedy spammers!!
