<\/p>\nOne of the most tragic recent celebrity deaths was that of Anne Heche, who passed away in August after a fiery car crash left her in critical condition. The Emmy- and Tony-nominated actress was 53.<\/p>\n
Recently, nine months after her tragic passing, the actress has finally been laid to rest by her family \u2014 in a ceremony held on Mother\u2019s Day<\/p>\n
The Six Days, Seven Nights actress was cremated a week after her passing, according to E! News, but the family apparently decided to hold off until Mother\u2019s Day to inter the remains at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnne was given her final resting place Sunday afternoon,\u201d a rep confirmed to Us Magazine on Monday. \u201cShe loved everyone so passionately and deeply and her children, her legacy, thank everyone for their support and love through this difficult time and are grateful to be able to honor their mother on Mother\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heche is survived by her two sons, Atlas and Homer.<\/p>\n
According to TMZ, Heche has been interred in a crypt in the \u201cGarden of Legends\u201d right next to the resting place of actor Mickey Rooney, and across from musicians Chris Cornell and Johnny Ramone. Her spot reportedly has a \u201cbeautiful view of the lake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last summer, Heche crashed her Mini Cooper into a home in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. The vehicle burst into flames, and according to the Washington Post it took 59 firefighters over an hour to extinguish the blaze.<\/p>\n

The actress was later found to be under the influence of a substance at the time of the crash, but not alcohol, according to TMZ.<\/p>\n
The actress suffered severe injuries and burns, and was in a coma. Michael McConnell, one of Heche\u2019s representatives, told Reuters that the actress was \u201cin extreme critical condition\u201d and had \u201csignificant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heche pronounced under California state law on August 11 after she was declared brain dead. She was taken off life support on August 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday we lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend,\u201d a representative for Heche told E! News at the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy. Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy brother Atlas and I lost our Mom,\u201d her son Homer said in a statement per CNN. \u201cAfter six days of almost unbelievable emotional swings, I am left with a deep, wordless sadness. Hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what I like to imagine as her eternal freedom\u2026 Rest In Peace Mom, I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n
