Earlier this week, reports indicated that Perry’s surviving sister and mother, Suzanne Perry, were in Forest Lawn, possibly preparing. Now, just six days after his tragic death, many family members and close friends arrived at the memorial park, many dressed in black.
According to reports, Jennifer Aniston, Perry’s “Friends” costar, was seen walking to the cemetery with fellow “Friends” stars Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow.
Although Matt LeBlanc was not seen with Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, and Scwimmer at Memorial Park, he was spotted a few days ago, driving in his car, seemingly hiding his face from the paparazzi. The “Friends” star may be present and not caught on camera.
Many friends and other family members, including Perry’s father, John Bennett Perry, and his stepfather, Keith Morrison, were spotted at the site.

As we reported last weekend, police responded to a 911 call to assist with a possible ‘water rescue’ at Matthew Perry’s Pacific Palisades home. When first responders arrived, they reportedly found the 54-year-old “Friends” actress in her hot tub, unresponsive.
She is believed to have drowned, but an autopsy and toxicology report will answer more questions about her exact cause of death. Prescription anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs were reportedly found at Matthew Perry’s home following his tragic death, although sources say no illegal narcotics were found at the scene.
Many stars, including Michael Jackson, Carrie Fisher and Paul Walker, are now buried in The Hollywood Hills Memorial Park, located directly across from the Warner Bros. studios, where “Friends” was filmed.
