Julia Roberts skipped her half-sister's public memorial in favour of a private family service.
The 'August: Osage County' actress wasn't among the mourners at St. Anne's Catholic Church and Shrine in Santa Monica on March 8 to say goodbye to Nancy Motes - who died from an apparent overdose aged 37 last month - but insiders say that is because she, her mother Betty Lou and other close family members chose to remember her privately instead.
A source told InTouch Weekly magazine: "The family didn't want the focus to be on them, they wanted it to be on Nancy and her memory.
"The whole Roberts family came and brought pictures of Nancy, each honoured her in their own way.
"It was tough for them, but I think Nancy would've been happy with the way it was done."
It has previously been claimed that Nancy - who had a "complex" relationship with her famous sibling - had left a "ranting" note prior to her death allegedly claiming the actress' fame had driven her to suicide.
Nancy's fiancé John Dilbeck said recently: "Nancy was proud of Julia but she had severe abandonment issues.
"She had a knee operation as a teen and piled on weight because she couldn't exercise. While her sister was the 'Pretty Woman', Nancy was an overweight, insecure teenager.
"Nancy was a tortured soul. She grew up in the shadow of a superstar as a sister and Julia's fame cast a cloud over her life.
"Nancy adored Julia but she became increasingly resentful of the way Julia behaved towards her. In Nancy's mind Julia was a bully."

Professor Green plans to spend his weekend mastering video game 'Titanfall'.
The 'Read All About It' rapper got his hands on a copy of the hotly anticipated Xbox One game at the title's launch party at the Truman Brewery in East London on Thursday night (13.03.14) which was transformed into a scene from the game which is set on a war-torn planet.
However, Green - who is married to 'Made In Chelsea' star Millie Mackintosh - has so far struggled with the epic first person shooter, something he is determined to rectify.
In a Twitter post, he revealed: "Just got stuck into #titanfall ... Definitely need to spend more hours brushing up my skills (sic)"
Green was joined by a host of other stars at the bash, including singer John Newman who couldn't contain his excitement about the award-winning game which is available to buy in the UK from today (14.03.14) for the Microsoft console.
Newman tweeted: "Sick night at the @Xbox #tightenfall launch!!!! (sic)"
Newman was joined at the party by TV chat show host Jonathan Ross, 'The Voice' UK coach Ricky Wilson, pop band Lawson, magician Troy and 'The Only Way Is Essex' stars Dan Osborne, Jessica Wright, Ferne McCann and Chloe Sims among others.
The 'TOWIE' gang had a great time pitting their gaming skills against Xbox One fans before heading off for cocktails.
Jessica wrote on Twitter: "Out for the evening with missy @fernemccann to the xbox titanfall launch then for dinner & cocktails ... Having great time at the #titanfall launch tonight! #xbox (sic)"

Jamie Chung wants an "intimate" wedding
The 30-year-old actress admits she and fiancé Bryan Greenberg need to "work out" their nuptials as while she wants a small affair, the 'One Tree Hill' actor favours the idea of a big celebration.
She said: "He wants a big blow out and I want to keep it intimate, so there's certainly things we need to work out."
But the 35-year-old actor may get his wish as Jamie admitted Bryan is a better organiser than she is.
She told People. "We're equally excited... Actually, he's better at planning parties than I am."
Though the couple haven't set a date yet, the 'Believe' star knows who she wants to create her wedding gown.
She said: "Monique Lhuillier is a designer I lust for. I saw her Fall 2014 runway show and it was literally like an opera. I would love to wear one of her dresses!"
Though Jamie and Bryan - who got engaged in December after almost two years of dating - spent a lot of time with one another, they refuse to go to the gym together.
Jamie admitted: "He hates working out with me. Bryan says, 'It's so cheesy,' so we're not that couple."

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't think we're "alone" in the universe.
The 48-year-old actress - who voices Kira Supernova, the wife of an alien who invades Earth in 'Escape From Planet Earth' - doesn't think the descriptions of other-worldly beings in TV and films are very accurate, but she is convinced there is life on other planets.
Asked if she believes in aliens, she said: "No. Well, I don't think we're alone in the universe. But I don't think aliens are how we have experienced them thus far on screen.
"We discovered that there may have been water elsewhere, and that was a massive and important discovery in the world of science, right? This suggests that something benefited from the water.
"But whether they wear funny outfits and they're clever and they say snarky things to each other and have wonderfully big sweet eyes? That, I'm dubious about. But I do enjoy the storytelling here on Earth."
The actress' character in 'Escape From Planet Earth' gave up her career to raise a family and Sarah - who has three children, son James and twin daughters Marion and Tabitha, with her husband Matthew Broderick - thinks Kira's story will appeal to many women experiencing the same "conflict" over their life choices.
In an interview with The Guardian newspaper, Sarah said: "I think she has made some decisions, and she speaks to a way that maybe other women feel, you know? She's left behind, and she's maybe conflicted about those choices. And she becomes defensive. Do you choose work over family? I think that's a position that a lot of women find themselves in.
"I think, a little bit, this film tries to talk about what it's like to remove yourself from your professional workplace and work from home as a parent. It's sweet, it's nicely done."
