Elizabeth Taylor was late to her own funeral.  She was laid to rest yesterday at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.  The ceremony was delayed by about 15 minutes - at her own request. Taylor's Publicist Sally Morrison said she left instructions to start the funeral late because "She even wanted to be late to her own funeral."
