The ever-mysterious Prince was cremated without fanfare Friday after authorities released his body from an autopsy, NY Daily News reports, citing the Daily Mirror.


The “FUNKNROLL” singer, who died Thursday at 57, had “very precise ideas” of how he wanted to be laid to rest — and so shortly after his body was released from a 9 a.m. autopsy in Ramsey, Minn., family members had his body cremated at a funeral home about 2 p.m., sources told the British paper.


“He wanted it to be kept to the minimum of fuss. Prince was such figure you don’t need a funeral to remember him by,” a family friend said. “He wanted to simply disappear with no fuss, no drama, no fanfare. It was just his style.
