The funeral service for Anton Yelchin was held on Friday at an undisclosed location.
Friends and family of the 27-year-old gathered at a private ceremony for the late actor, according to E! News.
The Star Trek actor was tragically killed on June 19 after his Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled downhill and pinned him against a stone mailbox.
The L.A. county coroner confirmed that Yelchin's death was ruled an accident by 'blunt traumatic asphyxia from the force of the car against his body,' as reported by the news source.
His service was held less than one week after his body was found by friends at his Los Angeles home.
Yelchin had arranged to meet up with the group for a rehearsal and when he failed to show, they became concerned and went to check on him.
It was recently learned that the actor's car model may have been part of a massive recall for a gear-shifting problem.
While drivers may have thought their cars were left in park, Jeep found problems where the cars were, in fact, still left in the neutral position.
According to Autoweek.com reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration believes that the Monostable shifter which is found in Yelchin's model is 'not intuitive and provides poor tactile and visual feedback to the driver, increasing the potential for unintended gear selection.'
The Russian-born actor played Chekov in the Star Trek films, including the upcoming Star Trek Beyond, which is set for release in July.
His co-star, Hollywood A-lister Zoe Saldana, 38, was heartbroken over the news and paid her respects on social media, which she wrote: 'Your sudden and unexpected departure has left us all broken hearted.'
'I woke up today feeling absolute gratitude that I had you as a friend and colleague. Your life has been cut short, but I will always tell everyone about you.'
