The late Whitney Houston is finally being laid to rest a week after she passed away at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Her family, friends and a few celebrities made their way to the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J for a private memorial organised for the 48-year-old singer. Guests included Rev. Jesse Jackson, Kevin Costner Alicia Keys, Tyler Perry and Stevie Wonder.
Whitney’s daughter Bobbi Kristina was also in attendance.
The funeral started at 5PM and took as long as two and a half hours. It was live streamed online for the whole world to watch and featured tribute performances from Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder. Others who gave speeches include Tyler Perry and R Kelly.
Whitney’s ex-husband Bobby Brown
also attended the funeral service but left before the service was
completed after he got into a heated argument with Whitney’s family
members over disagreement on seating arrangement.
The casket of Whitney Houston will be heavily guarded until the burial Sunday morning, February 19, 2012.
