The funeral for the famous author of to Kill a Mockingbird was held today in Monroeville.
Harper Lee died Friday at the age of 89.
Much like most of her life, the funeral was a very private event.
A few dozen family members gathered at the First United Methodist Church to hear a eulogy from her longtime friend and history professor Wayne Flint.
Flynt read a speech from 2006 that he wrote about Lee for winning a racial justice award.
He says she liked it so much she asked him to read it as her eulogy.
