The body of Prince was cremated just days after the music legend’s death on Thursday.
Prince was cremated in a private ceremony attended by his closest friends and family including Sheila E and Larry Graham. Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson and her husband Maurice Phillips also attended the service.
Yvette Noel-Schure, Prince’s publicist, said the “final storage” of his remains would remain private.
Fans have continued to make a pilgrimage to Prince’s home Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minnesota since the news of his death broke.
An autopsy was conducted but results will not be made known for some weeks.
