Celeste Rivas Hernandez's loved ones are honoring her life.
One month after the 14-year-old's body was discovered in the trunk of a Tesla owned by singer D4vd, she was buried at the Queen of Heaven Cemetery and Mortuary in Rowland Heights, California.
Celeste's family gathered at the Oct. 6 service—which was held in a large white tent on the cemetery grounds—to honor Celeste's life, per photos obtained by TMZ.
The funeral comes nearly two weeks after the teen's body was released to her family on Sept. 23, the Los Angeles County Coroner confirmed.
The Los Angeles Police Department has continued piecing together the events that led to Celeste's body being found in the car—registered to D4vd (real name David Burke)—which had been towed after sitting on a Hollywood Hills street for "several weeks."
The police posited in a Sept. 30 press release that, in conjunction with the Tesla being abandoned for an extended period of time, "Ms. Rivas Hernandez may have been deceased for several weeks before the discovery of her body."
"The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not yet determined the cause or manner of Ms. Rivas Hernandez's death," the notice continued. "As such, it remains unclear whether there is any criminal culpability beyond the concealment of her body."
The LAPD assured that its Robbery-Homicide Division is "thoroughly examining every aspect of this case to uncover the truth and seek justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez and her family."
Although the "Romantic Homicide" singer has not been charged in connection with Celeste's death—which has not been ruled a homicide—detectives had served a search warrant for the Hollywood Hills home near where the Tesla was parked, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
D4vd had allegedly been renting the home before beginning his Withered World Tour in August, which he ultimately canceled after Celeste's body was discovered. Although the singer initially performed at his Sept. 17 show, the day after her remains were found, he quietly removed the rest of his American tour dates.
While the international leg of his tour—scheduled to begin on Oct. 1 in Norway and continue until his Dec. 10 show in Australia—was still expected to move forward, he also canceled those dates, according to Ticketmaster.
As authorities continue to investigate Celeste's death, D4vd's manager told NBC News that the "Here With Me" singer is "fully cooperating with the authorities."

Where is D4vd From?
Born in Queens, New York, D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) moved to Houston, Texas, when he was 13 years old.
How Did D4vd Become Famous?
D4vd first began his career as a streamer, playing Fortnite and other games in an attempt to go viral on YouTube. When he ran into copyright infringement challenges with the music he was adding to his videos in 2021, he turned to his mom.
“I'm like crying to Mom about it,” he told Benny Blanco during an interview for Hero magazine in September 2024. “I'm like, Yo, I don't know what to do I'm not making any money anymore, blah blah blah.’ And she was on a phone, and she was like, ‘Just make your own music, go get out of my face.’ And I was like, ‘Wait a minute. I could probably do that.'"
From there, despite not having any musical experience other than singing for fun, D4vd downloaded an app on his phone and started making music. Soon, some of his songs went viral, and after more of his original music started to go viral on TikTok, his career began to really take off.
The 20-year-old eventually released his debut album, Withered, in April 2025, embarking on his first world tour shortly thereafter.
When Was the Body Found in D4vd’s Car?
On Sept. 8, the Los Angeles Police Department was called to a tow yard in Hollywood over reports of a foul odor coming from a vehicle, law enforcement sources told NBC News.
The LAPD found human remains wrapped in a bag hidden in the front trunk of a Tesla, which was registered in Hempstead, Texas, under D4vd’s real name, David Anthony Burke.
Police said the vehicle had been towed to the impound lot after it was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills.
Who Was the Victim Found in D4vd’s Car?
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office September 16 said the remains found in the Tesla were identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been reported missing on April 5, 2024. She was 13 years old at the time of her disappearance.
Her cause of death had been deferred, according to records from the Medical Examiner’s Office viewed by E! News on Sept. 17. Though her date of death was listed as September 8—the day her body was discovered—officials noted her body appeared to have been in the car for an extended period of time before its discovery and was “severely decomposed.”
What Has D4vd Said About the Investigation?
Following the discovery of Rivas Hernandez’s body, a spokesperson for D4vd said in a statement to NBC News that the singer "has been informed about what’s happened, and although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities."
Since then, D4vd canceled the remainder of his U.S. dates.
