Bob Saget had a "star-studded" and "first-class" funeral, according to Jeff Ross.

Ross, 56, said the "Full House" star, who passed away earlier this month, "had the best funeral ever." Ross was among the 300 individuals who paid their last respect to Saget when he was laid to rest last Friday.

"Like Bob himself, everything was first class," he told Page Six. "The crowd was star-studded, just the way Bob would have wanted."

He continued, "The next night, we threw him an impromptu rock and roll shiva in the small room above The Comedy Store in Hollywood, where Bob started his career as a teenager."

Among those who attended Saget's funeral were his "Full House" co-stars John Stamos, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Dave Coulier, Lori Loughlin and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Other celebrity guests included Dave Chappelle, Kathy Griffin, Billy Crystal and Jimmy Kimmel.

Ross and Stamos served as pallbearers alongside John Mayer, Jonathan Silverman, Mike Young, Ted Sarandos, Steve Hale and Coulier. Silverman was also the one who officiated Saget's wedding to Kelly Rizzo.

Saget was laid to rest five days after he passed away. The private funeral was held at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills and at least 300 people were present.

Last week, Mayer and Ross reflected on their favorite memories with Saget while driving down California's Interstate 405 to pick the late actor's car from Los Angeles International Airport after his sudden death. Mayer shared the video of their conversation on Instagram. Both remembered the late comedian as a "big brother" and the "king of the comedy world."

"You know how effusive you have to be in your love for everyone in your life, for each and every person he loved to be told by another, ‘He loved you so much’? Everyone is held into place by Bob’s insistence on telling everyone how much he loved everyone," Mayer said. "I’ve never known a human being on this Earth who could give that much love, individually and completely, to that many people in a way that made each person feel like he was a main character in their life and they were a main character in his life."

Meanwhile, Ross remembered Saget as someone who "treated everyone like a family." He was everything one needed because he would go out of his way to help, he noted.

"[Bob] really did take care of everybody … If you need a doctor, if you need a lawyer, if you need a pastrami sandwich at 3 in the morning because some girl just broke your heart, Bob was that guy," the "Roastmaster General" said. "He loved making people happy. It didn’t matter who you were, your status … he somehow took his TV family and made them his real family, which is unheard of. There’s going to be something missing for a long time."
