Dockery also sang the 1937 Oscar Hammerstein song "The Folks Who Live on the Hill," which the actress said she used to sing to Dineen, the Irish Independent reports.

Dineen, who died on Sunday after a battle with cancer, was laid to rest at St. James Church in Ballinora, Ireland. The funeral was held one day before Dineen would have turned 35. Dockery was by her fiance's side at Marymount Hospice, a facility close to his parent's home in Ireland, during the final days of his illness.

Dockery, 34, and Dineen, a London-based PR professional, got engaged earlier this year. The couple began dating in 2013 after being introduced by Dockery's Downton Abbey co-star Allen Leech.

A private cremation service was held following the memorial, which included traditional requiem mass.
