Bob Saget was laid to rest Friday afternoon in Los Angeles in a small, intimate funeral attended by family and close friends.
The service for the iconic comic and actor was held at Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries. Among those in attendance was John Stamos, one of his best friends and Full House co-star.
“Today will be the hardest day of my life. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference,” the actor said earlier in the day via Twitter.
According to People, fellow Full House stars Candace Cameron Bure, Dave Coulier, Jodi Sweetin — who declared Saget “the best TV dad ever” on her Instagram account — Lori Loughlin, and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were also in attendance, along with Jimmy Kimmel and Dave Chappelle.

Saget was best known for playing the beloved Danny Tanner on Full House and the Netflix follow-up series, Fuller House. Fans also knew him as the first host of America’s Funniest Home Videos.
Fans and friends have continued to share their heartbreak this week, including close pals John Mayer and Jeff Ross (both of whom were at the funeral).
After spending several days with Saget’s family, the singer and comedian went together to get his car from LAX and made a video while on the road once they had the vehicle.
“I’ve never known another human being on this Earth who could give that much love individually and completely to that many people,” said Mayer, before lighting the mood with, “This is the only time in my life that I have been honored to help a friend out at LAX.”
Said Ross, “I really loved the guy. He was a comic before he was anything else. You know, I’ve heard from a thousand comics in the last couple of days, and he loved making people happy. It didn’t matter who you were. It didn’t matter your stature, your status.”
