Joan Rivers to be buried with red carpet

Joan Rivers' funeral Sunday will be a "glamorous" event just as she wanted - complete with a red carpet, an insider confirmed to Us Weekly.

Her funeral is due to be held at the Temple Emanu-El, reports usmagazine.com.

According to a source, select members of the 81-year-old comedienne's family, including her daughter Melissa Rivers, and friends will roll out the red carpet at the memorial and it will then be buried with the star.

"A lot of celebrities confirmed (they will attend the funeral)," said a source.

The "Fashion Police" host died Thursday after being taken off life support at a hospital where she was admitted following a cardiac arrest while she was undergoing a routine operation for her vocal chords last week.

Rivers had once said she wanted her funeral to be a star-studded, glamorous event.

In her 2012 memoir, "I Hate Everyone... Starting with Me", she wrote: "When I die (and yes, Melissa, that day will come; and yes, Melissa, everything's in your name,) I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action.

"I want Craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don't want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. I don't want a eulogy; I want Bobby Vinton to pick up my head and sing 'Mr. Lonely'.

"I want to look gorgeous, better dead than I do alive. I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag. And I want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyonce's."
