The actress is said to be devastated following the sudden death of Emilio, 58, from pneumonia last Tuesday. The oil company foreman had been diagnosed with flu several weeks earlier.
The informal service, which was held in Seal Beach, California, on Sunday, saw the Hollywood star comforted by Timberlake and another former boyfriend, singer-songwriter John Mayer, who dated Diaz earlier this year.
The pair arrived at the memorial separately and stayed until around 4pm, by which time most of the other guests had departed.
Diaz - keen to ensure the service would be a celebration of her father's life - asked friends and family to wear colourful clothing and to not bring flowers.
Instead, she asked guests to make donations to two ocean protection charities.
One guest said: 'Most people started arriving at 1.30 and hardly anyone wore black.
'Lots of people were wearing Hawaiian shirts. It looked more like a party.'
In a statement released last week, Diaz, who was very close to her father, said: 'My dad was loved by so many people. His humour and spirit will always live on in our hearts.'
He is survived by his wife Billie and Diaz's older sister Chimene.
Diaz and Timberlake split last January. The actress has since been single. Timberlake has been working with Madonna on her new album.
