The funeral of the princess was heavily attended by her close family. Among those present were the following: Duke Carlos of Parma, Prince Jaime of Bourbon-Parma, Princess Margarita of Bourbon-Parma and her husband Tjalling ten Cate, Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Parma and her husband Albert Brenninkmeijer, Princess Françoise Lobkowicz (née Bourbon-Parma) and her son Prince Charles-Henri Lobkowicz, Princess Marie-des-Neiges of Bourbon-Parma, and Prince Amaury of Bourbon-Parma. Prince Sixte-Henri of Bourbon-Parma, the only surviving brother of Princess Cécile, did not attend her funeral because he disagreed with her decision to be cremated; Sixte-Henri apparently just realised that his late brother Duke Carlos Hugo (died in 2010) and his late sister Princess Marie-Thérèse (died in 2020) were also cremated.
Princess Cécile will be buried in the family crypt in Parma at a later date.
