A private funeral service for singer Amy Winehouse will be held on Tuesday, July 26th. The funeral will only include close friends and family, a final ceremony after many visitors stopped by her home to pay their respects all weekend.

The news of Winehouse's death reached fans on Saturday morning, July 23rd, 2011, after she was found dead inside her London home.  According to the autopsy report, the cause of death remains unknown. 

It will be another two to four weeks before the toxicology reports are released.  However, there were no apparent signs of drug usage or obvious paraphernalia when she was found. Other reports claim she died from alcohol and ecstasy use, according to her friends. 

Winehouse leaves behind fond memories of talent.
