Whitney Houston Laid to Rest in NJ

(GettyImages.com)

Whitney Houston has been laid to rest next to her father, John Russell Houston, Jr., who died in 2003.

The singer’s remains were brought on Sunday to the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, NJ in a gold-colored hearse and followed an SUV filled with flowers.

Houston was buried before a small gathering of family members.

On Saturday, a slew of famous friends and family came out to pay their respects at Houston’s funeral.

Among the notables at the service was Tyler Perry, who told mourners assembled at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark that nothing the late singer went through “was enough to separate her from the love of God.”

Kevin Costner also spoke lovingly and touchingly about what happened behind-the-scenes on The Bodyguard with Houston.

Alicia Keys sang an emotional rendition of “Send Me An Angel,” while Stevie Wonder performed “Ribbon in the Sky” and “Love’s In Need of Love Today.”

When Houston’s casket was led out of the church, with “I Will Always Love You” playing in the background, Ray J broke down as he reached out to touch his late friend as she passed by.

The only glitch of the day was Bobby Brown leaving the funeral shortly after arriving, due to an argument over seating.

Houston died at 48 on February 11.

    I mean no disrespect but I think People need to back off BOBBY. People deal differently & I love Whitney & there are more issues between these two familes then we know or should know. TO blame Bobbie for Whitney’s downfall is wrong. Yes he had issues but Whitney’s issues were long before Bobby. Bobby is still the father of BOBBIE. The familes have to find a place where both sides can suppport this young woman without attacking & showing no reseoct for either side. IF not we will have anotehr disaster on our hands. Both sides of the familes have major issues. IF it is true that Bibby brought his children to once what was there stepmothers funeral & for theer step sister then the treatment they recieved was something I am sure Whitney would never be happy with.

    I don’t think he’s That Guy anymore, but he’ll always be the villain to most people. Someone I know who was there said it wasn’t an entourage. It was his other kids and Whitney’s nieces and nephews. HE said that they asked him and only him to move several times. He chose to leave instead of causing a bigger scene inside.

    Not saying they aren’t right to dislike him, but the media has succeeded in making people believe he’s the jerk every time.

    BTW, You’re right. She was on drugs before she met him. He didn’t help, but she did exactly what she wanted to do.

  • UnbelieveableBehavior

    Chief Of Police contacted the Mayor and told him it was an entourage…If your going to state something make sure it’s correct. That came straight from the Mayor himself…He spoke on CNN Saturday.
    Bobby Brown should have been man enough to show up alone and stand by his only child with Whitney Houston.
    But that is not what happened Mr. Brown Showed no respect for his ex wife or his daughter yesterday.
    If he had to stand in a corner alone and wait to console Bobbi Kristina…then that is what he should have done.
    BTW he was invited and number of guest’s for him was #3 making total #4.
    He show’s up Late and with total of #9.
    How Arrogant as usual.
    BTW several guest’s were repositioned and they never flinched over it.
    Not like it was a Wedding the Houston family had a year to plan.
    Bobby acts like the world owes him something and it was extremely horrendous behavior on Mr. Brown’s part to leave.
    Again even if he had stand in back alone and wait to see their child.
    Glad is is not my Daddy!
    May God continue to comfort Whitney’s loved one’s as she rest in peace.

    Now that she is in the ground and officially worm food, CAN EVERYONE MOVE ON!!! It’s funny that when a celebrity is alive and is a pure turd and acts like a dope fiend idiot, when they die, all of a sudden they were perfect, stand up citizens. My ASS!

  • Anonymous

    guess u have no respect for her. Figures. Just by your comment. Time to grow up.

  • Blythe5050

    same for when yo ass is wormfood also its so predictable. wheb turds like you float to the surface. I’m out it reeks in here.

  • Krissu

    I don’t say she was perfect, far from it, but I do want to celebrate the great times she gave me. Does it bother you if I do that?

  • me2012

    let her rest now, it is over and like it has been said, she is with the lord and she is finally at peace. Hope her daughter and mother find peace. it may take a while, but it will come. they will see her again, until then, peace be with them both. she is with her father, maybe now they can make amends. god bless her and may he keep her.

  • Ineedtvrehab

    I couldn’t have said it better myself!

    sleep tight good night Whitney Huston

  • Khufu0630

    Mercy Manson, that was a cruel and unforgiven comment that you made. That tells me alot about you. It’s people like you that need to be worm food. But I pray you find The Almighty Lord Of Spirits & The Elect One in your life before it’s too late.

  • L Mmiller11

    whitney huston may god bless you we love you rest in peace

  • Rosa

    Yeah u right your ASS. Stick your head in it!!!! like u r perfect, HA! Seems to me u r the TURD!!!

  • livinliflikit’sgoldn

    My God bless the Houston and Brown family. Lord knows they’ve been through a lot. PRAYING THEY CAN FORGIVE AND MAKE AMENDS, THIS IS THE WAY OF THE LORD. Bobbie b strong & know your mommy is watching and protecting u from above. Whitney, “REST N PEACE” there’s no more earthly pain. rejoice in the Lord!

  • Sheila

    I with u on that… Bobby Brown should have stayed and supported his daughter if it meant anything to him. But also when people have it out for u and ur grieving too it’s really hard to think level headed at that time. What’s wrong with his kids and brother supporting him. They all knew Whitney for over 20 yrs. Families just need to stop this kind of foolishness in the wake of death. They do this same shit at poor people funerals .

    That is not what Happened…Mr.Brown was invited to his ex-wife funeral with an additonal 3 invite’s…But that was not good enough for him he showed up as a total of 9.
    Newark Fire Department has Regulation’s.
    Keep in mind this was not about Bobby Brown or stepchildren…Houston family made plenty of room for them.
    When the rest of his group could not be accommodated…He got himself a little attitude and LEFT!
    NOTHING AND NOONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE MATTERED THAT DAY EXCEPT BOBBI KRISTINA..the only child of BOBBY AND WHITNEY.
    He should have done everything to console her.
    I donot know how you or anyone else could see it another way.
    Bobbi Kristina didnot need her Father to wimp out…but that is what COWARD’S do.
    There is no excuse for his behavior…Shows up late and expect’s his bodyguard’s to get in.
    This was his last slap in the face to Ms. Houston…but one his daughter will not forget.

    I heard what the Mayor of the city had to say on this subject…CNN…Although he was not present,the chief of police contacted him right away and told him they were having an issue with Mr. Bobby Brown.
    My GOD WHITNEY IS GONE AND BOBBY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BY HIS DAUGHTER…STOP TRYING TO DEFEND THAT.

    Please remember Whitney’s family were the wake of a tragedy…I’m certain their mind’s were Not On Bobby and whatever issue’s he had…They were and are in deep grief.

    I know I watched my sister bury her 20 yr old son on her Birthday.
    NO One is thinking about what issue’s go on with the EX!

  • Guest563

    Mr.Brown had no problem carrying on with his concert tour that night…I doubt his grief could even begin to compare with his daughter’s.
    BTW provision was made for his other children just not the friend’s he brought with him.
    Don’t be concerned about Bobby Brown…He seem’s to pull himself through thing’s just fine.
    RIP Whitney

    I understand your point. However, entourage doesn’t mean that the people weren’t his kids/family. It just means a bunch of people. You didn’t say that the mayor said who the people were. None of us were there though. It easy to believe that someone you don’t like is wrong all the time. I don’t hate the guy and think that maybe it just isn’t so simple.

    To Shiela’s point, I’ve heard of MUCH worse things than walking out at regular people’s funerals.
