<p>He was adored by millions of fans but music icon Prince was always determined that his final exit would echo the way he lived life &#8211; away from the spotlight.<br />
While thousands of fans flocked to his home to pay their respects after he died on Thursday, the rock star’s family were already carrying out his funeral plan.<br />
And on Friday, as the world continued to mourn his death, the Purple Rain singer was secretly cremated after his family followed his wishes that there &#8220;be no drama&#8221;.<br />
World exclusive pictures in the Sunday Mirror show the poignant moment his family took the icon’s ashes on to their final resting place.</p>

<p>The service is a stark contrast to to that of his bitter rival Michael Jackson whose funeral was beamed live across the world as Hollywood greats gathered to pay their respects.<br />
Prince’s body was quietly released back to his family shortly after 1pm on Friday after undergoing a four hour autopsy at the Minnesota medical examiner’s office in Ramsey.<br />
From there he was driven across Minneapolis to the First Memorial Western Chapel where, accompanied his sister Tyka, her son Prez and another member of the family, he was cremated.</p>

<strong>Tyka with other members of Prince&#8217;s family</strong></h5><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
<p>&#8220;Throughout his life and following his Jehovah&#8217;s Witness faith Prince made it clear to his family that if he ever were to be taken from us he wanted to die with dignity,&#8221; said a family friend.<br />
&#8220;He had very precise ideas about how he wanted his death to be handled and that didn&#8217;t involve a huge funeral but a quiet service.<br />
He wanted it to be kept to the minimum of fuss. Prince was such figure you don&#8217;t need a funeral to remember him by.<br />
&#8220;The world has his music instead. He wanted to simply disappear with no fuss, no drama, no fanfare. It was just his style.</p>

<p>&#8220;It could not have been more different to Jackson’s service that was full of Hollywood razzmatazz.&#8221;<strong><br />
</strong>In keeping with his Jehovah Witness religion Prince’s service was carried out within a week of his death.<br />
After his body arrived at the chapel around 2pm on Friday the service, which usually costs £1110, was carried out about an hour later.<br />
His family stayed inside for four hours until being presented with a casket containing Prince’s ashes.</p>

<p>&#8220;Tyka was adamant she didn’t wanted to leave him,” added the source.<br />
&#8220;Although in the past they often endured a fraught relationship in recent years and right now she has been like a rock throughout these dark days.<br />
&#8220;As his only full blood relative alive Prince always looked out for Tyka and now she is doing all she can for him.&#8221;<br />
Tyka is a mother of six who beat a drug addiction after Prince paid for a stint in rehab.<br />
She bounced back to follow in her brother footsteps and become a recording artist.</p>

<div class="body ">
<p>Now, the 55-year-old and her husband Maurice Phillips are planning a massive memorial tribute for fans.<br />
Tyka is likely to inherit Prince’s estimated £200 million fortune if he failed to leave a will.<br />
Finance experts say the sum could however be much larger as it could include his £330million back catalogue of music which he retained the rights too.<br />
If, due to the sudden nature of his death, Prince failed to leave a will under Minnesota law his estate will be handed to Tyka as his closest living relative.<br />
Police are continuing to investigate Prince’s death and are set to interview his family, friends and staff in the coming days.</p>

</span></em><strong>The star&#8217;s sister could inherit his fortune</strong></h5>
</figure>
<p>Officials told the Sunday Mirror they are building “an intense, detailed picture of his life” covering the last four weeks.<br />
They are focusing on the seven days leading up to his death – and particularly why his private jet was forced to make an emergency landing so he could receive medical help.<br />
Five days before his death Prince is said to have suffered a drug overdose on his Gulfstream jet after taking the painkiller Percocet.<br />
Sources claim he ingested so much of the drug to alleviate problems with his hip that his condition turned serious while at 42,00ft.<br />
Despite despite only being 48 minutes from his home his management decided to divert the plane to Moline, Illinois, for urgent medical attention.</p>
<h5 class="inline-image clearfix "><strong><img class="alignnone wp-image-16285" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/697432-remembering-prince-12398.jpg" alt="697432-remembering-prince-12398" width="637" height="424" /><br />
Prince passed away on Thursday at his home</strong></h5>
<p>After arriving at hospital he was reportedly given a &#8220;save shot&#8221; normally administered in dire circumstances to drug overdose victims.<br />
Doctors advised Prince would need to be monitored for 24 hours but when his management failed to secure him a private room they discharged him.<br />
When he left three hours later he was described as &#8220;not doing well&#8221;.Prince made an appearance at a party in Minnesota the next day, eerily telling fans to &#8220;wait a few days before you waste any prayers&#8221;.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>And just hours before his death he was seen at a pharmacy looking &#8220;nervous and frail&#8221;.<br />
On Friday, Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said there were no obvious signs of trauma on Prince’s body when he was found.<br />
He added there was no reason to believe his death was a suicide.<br />
The medical examiner&#8217;s office said it &#8220;will not release information until the exam is complete and all results are obtained.&#8221;</p>
<h5 class="inline-image clearfix "><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16288" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ap_20815437671.jpg" alt="Prince" width="745" height="900" />Prince was found unresponsive at his Paisley Park home</strong></h5>
<p>Prince, whose full name was Prince Rogers Nelson, was found unresponsive in lift at Paisley Park, his home and recording studio, in Chanhassen, Minnesota.<br />
Paramedics tried to perform CPR but were unable to revive him, authorities said.<br />
He was pronounced dead at 10.07am, less than 30 minutes after police responded to a frantic 911 call from the scene.<br />
Sheriff Olson said he could not confirm whether Prince was taking medication.<br />
But, he promised: &#8220;We are going to leave no stone unturned and make sure the public knows what happened.&#8221;</p>
