Beginning promptly at 3pm, the funeral service was small and private. Police and a private security team stood guard at the front entrance to the cemetery, and escorted guests- who all wore Nikes as a tribute to AM’s love of the famous sneaker- discreetly into the front hall where the funeral was held.
Among the mourners in attendance were DJ AM’s mother, Andrea Gross, girlfriend Hayley Wood and Travis Barker.
“The family wanted it kept very private,” a cemetery employee told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “He was big deal. It’s so sad that he’s gone.”
In an attempt to avoid the paparazzi, the black hearse carrying Goldstein’s coffin was backed up against the front doors of the building during the service.
Following the funeral, mourners accompanied the casket, adorned with bouqets of white flowers, to a tent covered area on the cemetery’s grassy hillside where he was buried. Dressed in a modest black pin-striped suit, Barker looked visibly upset during the burial and had to be comforted by another mourner.
Goldstein was found dead on Friday, August 28, in his NYC apartment. On Wednesday, it was reported that the he had up to 8 undigested pills ( that were believed to be the powerful painkiller OxyContin) in his stomach and a ninth one lodged in his throat. A crack pipe was also found near his body. His death came as a shock to those who reveled in his miraculous recovery following a fatal plane crash in September, 2008, in which he and Barker were the only survivors.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Goldstein did not have a will. His mother is his sole heir.

Nine OxyContin tablets were found in the body of Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein, leading officials to question whether the troubled celebrity disc jockey overdosed or committed suicide.
Eight of the nine pills were undigested, an indicator Goldstein swallowed the unusually high amount quickly, a source told People.
"He wanted to die," the source said. "He was going unconscious when he took the last one. He didn't even swallow it."
In addition to the pills, a mirror was barricading his door when authorities tried to enter, and a crack cocaine pipe was also found next to his corpse.
Goldstein, according to the source, "smoked a lot of crack, barricaded the doors and killed himself."
Goldstein was found dead in in his Manhattan apartment Friday, August 28. He was 36.
Goldstein's death comes less than a year after he barely survived a plane crash with his friend and musical collaborator Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182.
Four people were killed when the plane skidded off a South Carolina runway. Goldstein suffered severe burns and in the weeks and months that followed, was said to have suffered depression.
A private memorial for Goldstein will be held Thursday evening in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium, People also reports.
The memorial will be in the style of a 12-step meeting in homage to Goldstein's very public battle with addiction. According to the invite: "The format of the evening will be in the style of an open 12-step meeting. Adam's friends both from his life in recovery, as well as those from other areas of his life are welcome. We ask only that everyone adhere to the tradition of anonymity and let what they hear there, and who they see there, stay there."
Best-Selling Novelist Dominick Dunne Dead At 83

Best-selling novelist Dominick Dunne, who gained A-List fame chronicling the shocking crimes of the rich and famous, succumbed to bladder cancer Wednesday and died at his home in Manhattan. He was 83.
Dunne grew up in a large, prominent and wealthy Irish-Catholic family in West Hartford, CT. A former movie producer and TV exec, Dunne found real success later in life with such novels as The Two Mrs. Grenvilles and A Season in Purgatory. But it was his brilliant and often controversial coverage of the O.J. Simpson "Trial of the Century" for Vanity Fair that transformed him in 1995 into a bona fide, red-hot celebrity in his own right.
