Ivana Trump's remains were carried from New York City to ex-President Donald Trump's golf New Jersey golf club after the former couple's children paid tribute to their ‘trailblazing’ mother who served as an 'embodiment of the American dream' during her funeral mass.

Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show a hearse from Frank E. Campbell funeral home in Manhattan leading a procession of family and loved ones down 9th Avenue before entering the Lincoln Tunnel and heading towards the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster for a private reception.

Ivana's three children - Donald Trump Jr, Eric and Ivanka - all spoke at the service at St. Vincent Ferrer Church on the Upper East Side in front of 100 mourners, including Donald, his wife Melania and their 16-year-old son Barron.  

'Growing up, my mother didn’t tell me a woman could do anything she wanted to — she showed me,' Ivanka said sincerely. 

'She was a trailblazer to men and women alike. My mother once told me there was nothing she couldn’t do in heels. She taught us how to spear fish and then cook what we caught. My mom expanded our minds.'

Don Jr. spoke next and delighted the congregation with fond memories and jokes. Before he returned to his seat, he said: 'I love you, mom.' 

Eric Trump, the youngest, spoke next: 'She had brains; she had beauty. She was the embodiment of the American dream … She was a force of nature, could beat any man down the slopes, any woman on the runway.

'She ruled the three of us [kids] with an iron fist but also a heart of gold,' said Eric. 

After the service, Ivana's body was carried out of the building in a golden casket, past her family and dozens of VIP guests. A woman, who appeared to be Ivana's caregiver, cried on the church's steps as the pallbearers passed.

Ivana was also honored by her favorite New York City restaurant, Nello, which lit candles and displayed flowers at her favorite table while she was laid to rest.
