This is the moment Prince's ashes were carried to a car and taken to their final resting place after the legendary musician was secretly cremated on Friday in a 'no fuss' funeral as per his wishes.

The star was found dead at his Minnesota home on Thursday, and his family quickly moved to carry out the simple funeral he demanded in the event of his death.

As Prince’s family gathered at his home this week, his brother-in-law revealed that the music icon had been awake for ‘154 hours straight’, or six-and-a-half days.

While fans flocked to his Paisley Park home and studio in Chanhassen, the star's body had been released to his family at around 1pm on Friday after a four-hour autopsy was completed at the Minnesota medical examiner's office.

The body arrived at the First Memorial Waterston Chapel by 2pm where just his sister Tyka, her son Prez and another family member were in attendance to say a final goodbye.

The modest service, which began an hour later, cost just $1,645 according to the price list, the Telegraph reported. Prince's family remained inside for four hours until the service ended and they were presented with the star's ashes

And these pictures, obtained by the Sunday Mirror, show the moment a casket containing Prince's ashes were carried out to a car under the cover of a black jacket and taken to his final resting place.

Maurice Phillips, who is married to Tyka Nelson, Prince’s sister, said that Prince had not slept in six-and-a-half days before he was found dead at his home, as previously reported by Dailymail.com.

‘He worked 154 hours straight,’ Phillips, 52, told fans who milled around outside Paisley Park, Prince’s compound and recording studio in Chanhassen, southwest of Minneapolis, Saturday.

‘I was with him just last weekend,’ he added. ’He was a good brother-in-law.’ 

Prince’s insomnia clashes with reports that he was taking high levels of Percocet, but in some cases, users of the drug have said it keeps them awake.
