His widow Lady Antonia Fraser led mourners at the Kensal Green Cemetery in northwest London, where Gambon read a passage from Pinter's play "No Man's Land" as requested by Pinter himself three months ago.
"And so I say to you, tender the dead as you would yourself be tendered, in what you would describe as your life," he read from the master dramatist's work, standing under a tree in the cold London air.
No prayers were said during the service, which included poetry reflecting Pinter's love of cricket. Fraser, his second wife, was dressed in a white hat and black outfit.
Pinter, whose best-known plays included "The Birthday Party", "The Dumb Waiter" and "The Homecoming," died on December 24 at the age of 78, having suffered from cancer for a number of years.
