It was reported that music was performed by the Cornish Kernow Mens Choir, with framed photos of Patricia placed around the church.
Other attendees at the funeral included Phillip's dog Alfie and Stephanie’s look-a-like dog too.
Phillip shared the news of his mother’s passing last month after she died on 14 October at 3pm.
He shared how she was now reunited with his father and her “beloved” husband Brian Schofield.
The television presenter posted a series of photos of them together from over the years in a tribute to his mum.
He wrote: “Today, at 3pm and after a heartbreaking weekend, my magnificent mum decided it was time to go to her beloved Brian.
“Over three days, we held her, loved her, hugged her and said everything that needed to be said. She was calm, peaceful, beautiful and dignified. I will forever be proud and privileged that she was my mum.”
He continued: “Our eternal thanks to the paramedics, Treliske A&E and Critical Care team who have been, in the past and this weekend, my mum's and our angels. Your love and care has been our saviour.”
Phillip previously opened up about how his mother and his brother were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetics.
“My brother and mother are both Type 1 diabetics and have been for the last 25 years, so it is something that as a family we are very used to,” he told Health Awareness.
"If either of them have a hypo (a Hypoglycaemic episode which occurs when blood glucose levels drop, usually below 4 mmol/L), we can recognise the signs and we know what to do. My Mum goes particularly bonkers when she goes low, so when she starts talking nonsense we know what's happening."
He added: “My brother was first to be diagnosed and he had an unquenchable thirst for fizzy drink, which was very unlike him. That continued for a few days, he was acting completely out of character. So we took him to the doctors and he was very quickly diagnosed. Then six months later my mum was diagnosed in the same way.”
“My brother was very young at the time of diagnosis, probably in his late teens,” he said. “He had always been very healthy and active. He is also seven years younger than me so it was a shock, as far as we were aware there was no history of the disorder in the family.”
