A church just steps from the home where Greg Josephson was allegedly murdered filled out before midday on Monday, as hundreds of mourners gathered to farewell the millionaire Brisbane businessman.
Almost no parking spaces were left along the ordinarily quiet suburban street in Clayfield, as scores of friends and family in black streamed into the funeral mass, held about 150 metres from the family property.
The church doors were closed and the first music – Gabriel's Oboe from the soundtrack to The Mission – drifted outside at 12.01pm.
The service was a largely private affair, with funeral staff guarding both entrances and a small contingent of media photographers outside.
More than two hours after proceedings began, six pallbearers slowly carried the casket through the front doors to a waiting Mercedes-Benz hearse.
Dozens of mourners lined the side of the church to pay their final respects before slowly dissipating.
Michael Carroll, the principal of exclusive boys' school St Joseph's Gregory Terrace, where Josephson graduated in 1984, was in attendance, according to the service booklet.
The Josephson family and a handful of friends were listed as speakers.
