Her flower-covered casket arrived at New Hope Baptist Church on Saturday morning, as mourners from near and far flocked to the city.
Friends and family mourn the death of pop singer
NEWARK, N.J. — Whitney Houston was honored at her home church in Newark on Saturday both for her New Jersey roots and for her international impact on the music and entertainment industries.
Police stood by during Whitney Houston's funeral Saturday. Paramedics found the 48-year-old singer unconscious in her hotel suite bathtub on Feb. 11.
Singer Bobby Brown, Houston's husband, arrived at the church as the service was beginning and walked inside. He emerged five minutes later and got back into his black SUV and left, appearing upset.
The service lasted nearly four hours and ended with a sermon by Pastor Marvin Winans, a Houston family friend, before the coffin was carried out to a recording of "I Will Always Love You."
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Security guards were saying the people who arrived with Brown would have had to sit apart from him. Instead, Brown left and appeared upset. The pair were married 15 years and have one daughter.
Their tumultuous relationship ended in 2007.
Brown later released a statement, saying he left because security had asked him to move three times, despite the fact that he had been invited to attend.
"In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene," the statement said. "This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how."
After the service, the Rev. Al Sharpton said he was happy the event took place in a church.
"We are all real shaken to have lost Whitney, but I think by coming to the church where she started, with her mother and daughter, it gave us a renewal of things she lived by. To do this in a church brought us back to who Whitney was," said Sharpton.

Buchanan said the calls for his firing began with the publication in October of his book "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?" about America's decline, which critics have called racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic.
Firing back Buchanan blames the left wing
In an angry post on his blog, conservative commentator Buchanan took his critics to task, writing, "After 10 enjoyable years, I am departing, after an incessant clamor from the left that to permit me continued access to the microphones of MSNBC would be an outrage against decency, and dangerous."
McClatchy Tribune
LOS ANGELES — Pat Buchanan has been dismissed by MSNBC, the left-leaning news network, four months after the channel suspended him.
