Catherine O'Hara's family held a "celebration of life" service for the late actress on February 14, and despite the memorial being a "private" gathering, an attendee has shared a glimpse into the sombre event.
Actress Kelly Lynch took to Instagram on Tuesday and posted a photo of the program given to mourners who attended the service at St. Martin of Tours Church in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
The program featured a black and white photo of Catherine as a youngster wearing what appeared to be a school sweater and a plaid skirt as she beamed for the camera with her hands in the air.
Alongside the photo were the words: "In loving memory, Catherine Ann O'Hara. March 4, 1954 – January 30, 2026," followed by the location and date of the memorial.
Kelly shared two other photos, one of which was Catherine sitting on a chair under a palm tree opposite Seth Rogen in his series The Studio, and a throwback snapshot of her sitting on the bumper of a Lincoln in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.

It read: "And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth."
