Joan Rivers’ daughter said a heartfelt last goodbye to the comedy legend — kissing her casket and biting back tears — moments before her mom’s body was transported to a New Jersey crematorium on Saturday reports The New York Post.

Covering her mouth to keep from sobbing, Melissa Rivers bent over the mahogany casket for an emotional final farewell outside Frank E. Campbell funeral home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

She then turned to her son, Cooper, 13, and touched him tenderly on the cheek before the black hearse pulled away with the casket.

Cooper placed his hand on his mom’s back to comfort her.

Six pallbearers had carried the coffin, which was adorned with white orchids, to the hearse around 10 a.m.

About a half hour later, drivers unloaded the casket at the Garden State Crematory in Union City, where Rivers’ body will be cremated before her funeral Sunday at Temple Emanu-El on the Upper East Side.
