Judy Garland's remains have been removed from her resting place in New York and taken to Hollywood.
The Wizard Of Oz star's body was exhumed - 48 years after her death - at the request of her family, including children Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft and Joey Luft.
They wanted their mother to be closer to their homes in California.
The transfer from a crypt in New York's Ferncliff Cemetery to Hollywood Forever Cemetery was completed on Friday.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Victoria Varela explained: "When Judy Garland died, her affairs were controlled by her husband, Mickey Deans.
"Her children had no say in the matter of her burial, so this is at last their opportunity to do what they feel their mother would have wanted in the first place - to be united with her family in Hollywood."
Hollywood Forever Cemetery spokeswoman Noelle Berman said: "The move to Hollywood was made after many years of family consultations and deliberations.
"Ms Garland's three children now reside in Southern California and wished to have their mother resting near them."
