The private funeral service scheduled for Whitney Houston will be streamed live online via satellite this Saturday (Feb 18) from the New Jersey church where she grew up, according to the singer’s publicist.
The “invitation-only” funeral will be held at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey Saturday afternoon at 12pm, and the Associated Press has been allowed one camera in the venue, which hold about 1,500 people.
While fans aren’t invited to attend the private service, they will be able to watch live either online or on television, if the AP allows broadcasters to air the footage.
According to various confirmed reports, Whitney Houston’s funeral services will be presided over by gospel singer Marvin Winans, a long-time friend of the family.
Following the service, the R&B icon will be buried next to her father Russell Houston Jr. (who died in 2003) at Fair View Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, her death certificate states
