Funeral services for singer Whitney Houston will be held Saturday at noon at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark. The private ceremony is open to invited guests only and her burial will also be private.
Houston’s body arrived late Monday at the funeral home, borne by a hearse and escorted by police after arriving at Teterboro Airport. A large crowd was gathered at the funeral home. The body was flown to Newark on a private plane belonging to filmmaker Tyler Perry.
Whitney Houston, 48, was found dead Saturday in her suite at the upscale Beverly Hilton, just hours before she was scheduled to attend a pre-Grammy bash at the hotel. The LA coroners office won’t have autopsy results for a couple of weeks.
