Sage's funeral, which was held at St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church in Brentwood, Los Angeles, was also attended by Sylvester's ex-wife and Sage's mother Sasha Czack.

Dressed in a black suit, white shirt and a black tie, Stallone hid his eyes with a pair of sunglasses, but looked grief-stricken as he spoke to fellow mourners.

Earlier this week, Sylvester released a statement expressing his loss, saying: 'When a parent loses a child there is no greater pain... This agonising loss will be felt for the rest of our lives.

'Sage was our first child and the centre of our universe and I am humbly begging for all to have my son's memory in full left in peace.'

The 36-year-old was found dead in his home last week, surrounded by bottles of pills, according to the LA County Coroner. Toxicology results are expected within four to six weeks.

A source told RadarOnline.com earlier this week: 'Sage will be buried on Saturday. His body was picked up from the coroner by a mortuary that is based in Westwood earlier this week.

'The funeral will be private and it will be family and friends only and will be celebration of his life.'
