The Kidman family gathered Tuesday to say a fond farewell to their beloved matriarch, Janelle Kidman, who passed away at the age of 84.
At the funeral service, held at St Francis Xavier Church in Sydney, the famous family united in grief and offered each other emotional support during the somber event.
Nicole and Keith Urban’s daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14, spent 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 of a suspected heart attack in 2015 – while she welcomed two more sons, Nicholas and Alexander, with her second husband Craig Marran.
Rarely seen all together, the cousins exemplified their very close bond as they all shared a close embrace and comforted each other upon their arrival at the church.
In a touching moment, Hamish was seen hugging a tearful Sunday as she was overcome with emotion, while Lucia also exchanged some heartfelt words with her.
The cousins stayed close to each other during the ceremony and showed their solidarity as they dealt with the loss of their grandmother.
Hollywood star Nicole, 57, was also seen at the funeral earlier today, visibly emotional as she was supported by her husband Keith Urban.

Her younger sister Antonia, 53, was also in attendance, along with her loving husband Craig Morran, who comforted 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 had a close relationship over the years and even rang in the New Year together at the famous family’s multi-million dollar North Sydney penthouse on January 1, 2023.
The gathering took place at the same church where Nicole’s father, Antony Kidman, was buried in 2014, making the occasion even more emotional.
Antony died at the age of 75 in Singapore of a suspected heart attack, and the Kidmans said goodbye to him at 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 named Best Actress for her work in Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival.
The Big Little Lies star was forced to leave the A-list event due to the disturbing news and instead accepted her award via a speech read on her behalf.
“Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed away,” Nicole revealed in a statement read by director Halina Reijn after 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 to be able to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heartbreaking, and my heart is broken. We love you all.”

A week later, Nicole and her sister Antonia shared an emotional tribute to their late mother on Instagram and posted some never-before-seen family photos.
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, would like 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 can ever express. Thank you from our entire family for respecting our privacy while caring for each other.”
