The memorial for Madonna Badger's three children and their grandparents is giving a small degree of closure to the mourning mother, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.

"It is a heartbreaking thing," a family member exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News, the day after the multiple funeral service.

"I hope that she has found some peace. Maybe this can help bring some closure.”

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, the New York fashion executive sobbed at a service held at the St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan as she remembered her daughters who were the victims of a tragic Christmas Day fire.

Three tiny caskets topped with white and pink floral arrangements for her daughters Lily, 10, and twins Grace and Sarah, 7 were carried into the church.

Badger's parents, Lomer, 71, and Pauline Johnson from Louisville, Kentucky, also perished in the blaze at her mansion in Stamford, Connecticut.

Madonna was supported at the funeral by her estranged husband, Matthew Badger, and a spokesperson for him told Breaking Celebrity News that it was "too soon to comment" on the devastating tragedy.

They reportedly then loaded the embers from the fireplace into a bucket and left it in the foyer before going to bed.

Investigators believe that is where the blaze started in the $1.7 million Victorian home
