PRINCE MEMORIAL Come for the Singer ...STAY FOR HIS GIFT BAGS

Prince's family had guests in tears this weekend honoring the late singer, but at least they got to leave with a bag full o' tchotchkes ... TMZ has learned.

Members of Prince's family gave gift bags to everyone who came to the private memorial Saturday at Paisley Park -- and they were loaded with Prince goodies. A witness tells us mourners got everything from pens to tote bags and more -- all specially marked "The Eternity of Prince." There was even a chain with Prince's famous symbol.

We're told the gathering was small -- with just a small handful of celebs there like Rosario Dawson and Maya Rudolph.

You'd like to think these items don't end up on eBay, but ya know they will. Soon.


Thank TMZ
