RIP Whitney Houston, 48

[ggould]

2/15 NEW YORK (AP) — Fans worldwide who want to bid Whitney Houston farewell will be able to watch her private funeral on the World Wide Web.  Her publicist, Kristen Foster, announced that The Associated Press will be the pool camera for the Saturday ceremony in Newark, New Jersey, and the AP will stream the service on http://www.livestream.com/aplive
Houston died in Beverly Hills, California, on Saturday at the age of 48. Her body was flown back to her native New Jersey on Monday.  Some fans were disappointed when they learned that the funeral was private and no public memorial was planned.  Houston was born in Newark and the service will be at New Hope Baptist Church.

Looks like a number of channels will be carrying the event:

I ended up tuning in about mid-funeral, and ended up watching the whole rest of it on MSNBC.  The ending was quite emotional.

Kevin Costner's eulogy was quite moving, as well.  The ending really was emotional.  It's still shocking to me.

The shtick at the end where the pallbearers just snatch the coffin up and rest it on their shoulders was gasp-inducing!
