Joan Rivers once joked that she wanted her funeral to be"huge showbiz affair with lights, camera, action" complete with "paparazzi and publicists making a scene." At the comedy legend's funeral Sunday, she got just that.

More than 40 celebrities attended Rivers' funeral at Temple Emanu-El in New York City.

Howard Stern delivered the eulogyduring the memorial service, followed by Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald singing “Smile” and the New York City Gay Men's Chorus singing a string of Broadway hits.

According to The Associated Press, three of Rivers’ famous lines were printed on the funeral program: “Can we talk?” "Who are you wearing?” and “Because I'm a funny person.”

Mourners exited the synagogue behind bagpipers who performed "New York, New York" and "Give My Regards to Broadway."
