A chef who murdered his transgender partner before chopping her up and putting her in a cooking pot was laid to rest to the sound of “Killer Queen” at his funeral.

The song was among a string of hits by the band Queen which were played before the service for killer Marcus Peter Volke got under way, including “Another One Bites The Dust” and “Don’t Stop Me Now.”

Around 250 family and friends packed into a chapel at the Doveton Park Funeral Centre in Ballarat, Australia, to bid farewell to Volke.

Volke shot to infamy after killing and dismembering his partner, Mayang Prasetyo, in a gruesome murder-suicide in a Brisbane, Australia, apartment earlier this month.

No mention of the grisly murder was made at the funeral, where mourners remembered a “loving, loyal and caring” young man with “blue eyes and a cheeky smile.”

Friend Lee Swagerman remembered Volke as a high school friend who could always be relied upon and who often “picked him up” when he fell down.

Tearful family members consoled each other throughout the service as tributes were paid and a number of Volke’s favorite songs were played.

A poem written by Volke was read out. In “Twin Flame,” Volke talked about “not terrorizing friends” and asked that people “remember me.”

“Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd was also played during the funeral, while “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica was blasted out to an accompanying photo slideshow featuring pictures of Volke in happier times.

Wolfgang Volke, one of Marcus Volke’s uncles, remembered a “caring, loyal and gentle” young man who was interested in karate and comic books when he was a child.

As a young boy, Volke would also carry a dictionary around with him wherever he went, the service heard.

The funeral finished shortly after 3 p.m. and Volke’s dark brown pine casket was carried out to the waiting hearse to the sound of “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin.

The 28-year-old’s crime shocked the world, but no mention of the act — or of his murder victim — was made during the 45-minute funeral service.

Queensland police arrived at the home he shared with Prasetyo on Oct. 4 after receiving reports about a bad smell.

Upon arrival, they discovered parts of Prasetyo’s mutilated body strewn across the couple’s apartment.

Volke fled from officers but was soon found by police covered in blood in a trash bin with fatal self-inflicted wounds.

Volke grew up in North Ballarat, where his parents are well known and respected.

His father ran a local karate dojo, where Volke attained a black belt.

His family believed he was working on a cruise ship and Volke told his family it was there that he met 27-year-old Prasetyo.

The chef, who had previously worked in a Melbourne brothel with his wife, had moved to Brisbane only weeks before he murdered Prasetyo.

Friends said he rarely spoke about his partner, after they married overseas in August last year.

On the night part of Prasetyo’s body was found cooking on the stove, Volke had called an electrician to report a problem with the appliance.

“G’day, is this a 24-hour electrician?” Volke asked electrician Brad Coyne in a recorded telephone conversation, obtained by Ten Eyewitness News.

“Yeah, I’ve got a bit of a problem. I was cooking on my stove.”

He went on to ask whether Coyne could fix the problem that night.

But when the electrician got there, he was struck by a bad smell.
