Private funeral for Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman's loved ones will say goodbye to the late Oscar-winning actor in a private funeral here.
The 'Capote' star's funeral is set to take place at St Ignatius of Loyola Roman Catholic Church in Manhattan. The 46-year-old actor's family and friends, including a number of his famous co-stars, will also gather for a private wake at the nearby Frank E Campbell Funeral home, according to the New York Post.
Plans are underway for a memorial service later in the month, which will also be in New York.
"In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Phil's name to two charities that were very close to his heart: The DreamYard Project and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The family wishes to thank everyone for their continued support and good wishes," Hoffman's representative said.

Hoffman's long-term partner Mimi O'Donnell, who reportedly kicked him out of their house a few months ago in a bid to get him to seek help for their three children, Cooper, 10, Tallulah, seven, and Willa, five, was spotted arriving at the funeral home with the late actor's personal assistant to make arrangements for the services.
