The Kidman family came together on Tuesday to bid a heartfelt farewell to their beloved matriarch, Janelle Kidman, who passed away at the age of 84.
The funeral service, held at Sydney’s St Francis Xavier Church, saw the famous family unite in grief, offering one another emotional support during the sombre occasion.
Nicole and Keith Urban’s daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14, were seen spending time with their cousins Lucia, 26, Hamish, 23 and Sybella, 17 – the children of Nicole’s sister Antonia and her late husband Angus Hawley.
Antonia shares another son, James, with Angus – who died in 2015 from a suspected heart attack – while she went on to welcome two more sons, Nicholas and Alexander, with her second husband Craig Marran.
Rarely all seen together, the cousins exemplified their very close bond as they all shared close embraces and comforted each other upon their arrival at the church.
During one touching moment, Hamish was seen hugging a tearful Sunday as she became overwhelmed with emotion, while Lucia also exchanged some heartfelt words with her.
The cousins remained tightly grouped throughout the ceremony, showing their solidarity as they coped with the loss of their grandmother.
Hollywood star Nicole, 57, was also seen arriving to the funeral earlier in the day, visibly emotional as she was supported by her husband Keith Urban.

Her younger sister Antonia, 53, was also in attendance along with her doting husband Craig Morran, who was seen comforting her outside the church.
Australian TV presenter Peter Overton, his wife Jessica Rowe and their daughters Allegra and Giselle were also in attendance.
The Overton and Kidman-Urban clan have shared a close relationship over the years, even ringing in the New Year together at the famous family’s multimillion-dollar North Sydney penthouse on January 1, 2023.
The gathering took place at the same church where Nicole’s father, Antony Kidman, was laid to rest in 2014, adding even more emotional weight to the occasion.
Antony died from a suspected heart attack in Singapore at the age of 75, and the Kidmans said goodbye to him in a more public funeral, with many famous names including Russell Crowe paying their respects.

Janelle passed away last month at the age of 84 just hours before Nicole was awarded Best Actress for her work in Babygirl at Venice Film Festival.
The Big Little Lies star was forced to leave the A-list event due to the upsetting news, and instead accepted her award through a speech read out on her behalf.
‘Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed,’ Nicole revealed in a statement read by director Halina Reijn upon her win.
‘I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me.
‘I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken. We love you all.’

One week later, Nicole and her sister Antonia shared an emotional tribute to their late mother on Instagram and posted several never-before-seen family pictures.
In the post, the Perfect Couple star thanked her millions of fans and supporters for expressing their condolences during their time of grieving.
‘My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week,’ Nicole wrote in the joint statement.
‘Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express. Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other.’
