Whitney’s millions of fans won’t be present at the her funeral ceremony at the New Hope Baptist Church in New Jersey on Sunday, February 19, 2012. But many will still be able to share in her ‘homecoming’ service by watching through the internet.
The news was made known by Houston’s publicist, Kristen Foster who says The Associated Press will be allowed a camera at Saturday’s funeral in Newark. The AP will stream the service on http://livestream.com/aplive. The event also will be available to broadcasters via satellite.
Her body arrived Teterboro airport on Monday, 13, 2012. A number of fans gathered outside the airport as her body was later conveyed in a gold hearse to the Whigham funeral home in Newark shortly before midnight.
Fans are gathering, placing flowers outside the Newark, N.J., church where the invite-only funeral will be held.
In related news, reports say Houston will be buried next to her father John Russell Houston Jr. who was buried there nine years ago.
Houston, 48, died in a Beverly Hills hotel room Saturday, February 11, 2012 on the eve of the Grammy Awards.
