Rosenheim (dpa) - At a memorial service, family members said goodbye to the world-famous magician Siegfried Fischbacher.
His sister Dolore and his brother Marinus Fischbacher met on Friday morning in his birthplace Rosenheim.
"It is a familiar and very small gathering because of the pandemic - and we want it in peace," Dolore had previously told the German press agency.
At the funeral she said shortly after her death last week: “He will probably be buried over there like Roy too.
Everything on a small scale - that's how I imagine it. "
A funeral arrangement of white flowers and a photo of the magician were placed in the church.
Siegfried Fischbacher, who wrote show history with his long-time partner Roy Horn as "Siegfried & Roy" with white tigers, died of cancer on January 13 at the age of 81 in Las Vegas.

Roy Horn died around eight months before Fischbacher.
