Richard Simmons was buried in his iconic tank top and shorts.
Lenny gave a speech during the funeral and explained the reason his brother was laid to rest in his memorable, colorful outfit.
He said: "We think that God has another plan for him, and we want to make sure that he is going to be in his normal costume, which we all know and love to help the saints and the angels get into shape.
"So I'm here to say to you that even though he's not here and I know he's in spirit here tonight, Richard Simmons will forever be sweating with the Holies."
Richard was buried at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles.
Muro filed another petition asking a judge to stop Leonard from selling his brother's personal item and filming a documentary on his life.
During an interview shortly before his death, he said he never considered himself a "celebrity".
When asked what it was like to be called a "legend", he said: "I don't hear it at all. I don't hear the word legend. I don't hear the word icon. I never lived a celebrity life. I never thought of myself as a celebrity.
"People don't know this, I'm really a shy person and a little bit of an introvert. But when that curtain goes up, that's a different story. I'm there to make people happy."
Muro claimed Leonard teaming up with Simmons' estranged managed 'defies' his 'explicit' wishes.

The beloved entertainment personality, who disappeared from the public eye in 2014 after a prosperous career in exercise media, suffered the injuries during a "ground level fall" at his Hollywood Hills home. The date of injury was listed as "unknown" by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner.
The report read: "He experienced an episode of dizziness and collapsed on the floor." The next day, which was his birthday, he "refused to seek medical care because he wanted to spend his birthday at home and agreed to seek medical care the following morning".
