L’Wren Scott’s body being moved to LA for funeral

The body of Mick Jagger’s longtime lover was taken from a Manhattan funeral home Sunday en route to Los Angeles for burial in a celebrity cemetery.

Fashion designer L’Wren Scott’s remains were removed from the Frank E. Campbell funeral home on the Upper East Side at about 10 a.m. inside an ornately carved, mahogany-colored casket ceremoniously carried on the shoulders of six men in black suits.

They put the coffin in a black Cadillac hearse that drove around the corner to the side of the Madison Avenue funeral home, where four other workers brought out a pine shipping crate and several gray and blue moving blankets that were put in the back of the vehicle.

Sources told The Post that Scott — who last week hanged herself with a black satin scarf inside her swanky Manhattan apartment — would be buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

The landmark boneyard is the final resting place for scores of celebs, such as punk rocker Johnny Ramone, director Cecil B. DeMille and bombshell actress Jayne Mansfield.

Others interred there include silent-film legend Rudolph Valentino, “Golden Girls” actress Estelle Getty, and murdered mobster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel.

Conflicting reports said Scott, 49, would be buried as early as Monday or as late as Saturday. Jagger, 70, apparently chose Hollywood Forever on the advice of eldest daughter Karis Jagger, who was photographed Friday touring at least four LA cemeteries with a friend, two security guards and a man who took notes for her.

Mick Jagger hasn’t been seen in public since getting word of Scott’s suicide while having dinner at an Australian restaurant midway through his band’s “14 on Fire” world tour.

The grief-stricken singer later posted an emotional online message saying, “I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way.”

After Scott’s death, the Stones indefinitely postponed seven concerts in Australia and New Zealand, with Billboard estimating the band’s potential losses at up to $10 million.

The Post has reported that Scott, a model-turned-fashion designer, killed herself after Jagger dumped her following a turbulent relationship that began in 2001.

British business records also show her London-based company, LS Fashion Ltd., was mired in debt, and her publicist last week said Scott “was considering a restructure of her global business.”

Britain’s Daily Mail reported that Scott “misled” Jagger about the extent of her financial woes by secretly taking out a $1.25 million loan against the Chelsea duplex he bought her for $5.6 million in 2010.

Jagger — who reportedly also financed Scott’s business along with investors including designer Tommy Hilfiger — blew his stack when he found out, then paid off the mortgage and told Scott, “Call me when you sort out your mess,” the Mail reported.
