His family's lawyers said the private service took place in Mr Nicklinson's home county of Wiltshire.
The 58-year-old from Melksham suffered from locked-in syndrome and died on August 22, days after losing a landmark High Court right-to-die case. He had been refusing food and had contracted pneumonia. Following the decision he was visibly distressed, sobbing in front of cameras while his wife, Jane Nicklinson, said the ruling had left him "heartbroken."
