A brief service took place in a white chapel on the property and Moore was later interred at a grave adorned with an angel statue, according to the Connecticut Post.

Moore had reportedly been hospitalized with pneumonia due to complications from her diabetes and was put on a ventilator prior to her death. 

The star, who died at the age of 80 last Wednesday, was best known for her groundbreaking roles in TV sitcoms like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Moore is also known for breaking the mold and establishing fashion icon status by wearing Capri pants in the early 60’s, something unheard of in television at the time.

Valerie Harper, who played Moore’s best friend on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its subsequent spinoff, Rhoda, took to Twitter to express her sadness.
