The beloved musician was found dead last week. She was 46.
A funeral service for Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan was held Tuesday in her native Ireland, a little over a week after she was found dead in London.
The memorial service took place in O’Riordan’s hometown of Ballybricken, Limerick, where the late singer’s family and ex-Cranberries bandmates gathered to say goodbye.
O’Riordan had previously sang as a choir member at St. Ailbe’s Church, where the funeral was held, according to TMZ. A public visitation for the beloved singer also took place Sunday in Ireland so fans could pay tribute.
A cause of death has not yet been revealed for O’Riordan, whose body was discovered in her hotel room last Monday. British police have said her death is not considered suspicious.
