WHITNEY HOUSTON'S DAUGHTER BURIED.
The body of Bobbi
Kristina Brown has been taken to a New Jersey cemetery for burial next to
mother Whitney Houston.
A hearse took the body
from a Newark funeral home as two vehicles carrying relatives - including
singer Dionne Warwick - followed behind.
Bobbi Kristina, 22, died
at a hospice on 26 July, six months after she was found unresponsive in a
bathtub.
Houston drowned in a
bathtub at a Los Angeles hotel in 2012 on the eve of the Grammy Awards
ceremony.
Bobbi Kristina was the
only child of Whitney Houston and her father was R&B singer Bobby Brown.
The casket had earlier
been at a memorial service in Alpharetta in Georgia on Saturday.
The burial at the
Fairview cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, on Monday was reserved for friends
and family.
Police sealed off roads
to the cemetery and only about a dozen fans could be seen at the gates as the
gold-coloured hearse passed by.
One who was at the
cemetery, Michael Tarashuk, told Reuters: "I wanted to show support to the
Houston family and for Whitney Houston. I was here three years ago for
Whitney Houston."
A friend of the family
who was invited to the funeral service, TV host Kevin
Frazier, told the agency:
"This wasn't a celebrity funeral. This was a little girl and [the
family] can't understand why we're back here so soon.
"It was sad, it was
heartbreaking, nothing like anybody should ever experience."
Bobbi Kristina Brown
began performing with her mother in 1999, singing duets of
My Love is Your
Love and recording Little Drummer Boy for a holiday album in 2003.
She was found in the
bathtub in the home she shared with Nick Gordon in Atlanta.
Authorities are still
investigating the death, which police have described as a drowning.
