Anna's Funeral -- For a Price

Anna Nicole Smith's funeral is proving to be one of the most expensive events of all time ... for the people covering it!

TMZ has learned that the Bahamian gated community which houses the church where Anna's funeral will take place tomorrow, is desperately trying to cash in on the media spectacle -- by charging news crews and paparazzi agencies thousands of dollars to get inside.

Each crew that wants to get inside the community of Sandy Port is required to pay $2000 per camera and $5000 to set up a live feed ... and they want their money tonight! Interested parties must submit a form with an authorized credit card number before midnight, or they won't be allowed through the gate on Friday.

We're told one photo agency has already forked over $15,000 for special access inside the grounds.

316. Ron Rale was Hs law partner he's a crook too. With no intelligence. Who would write a will the way he did. Anna had to be high to sign something like that because she wasn't a foolish woman

317. Howard told the pool incident in court himself when he talked about her depression. I don't think you all are listening well. When it's all over and done HS will have a lot to answer for. First Danny and now Anna. If he isn't a murder he is very guilty of being an enabler. Also he is the worst of all men he's not even a man he's a leach a cock a roach. The nerve of him talking about Vergie making a profit off of Anna. He's the one pulling in all the cash. Again that video of the toothless cousin is from the Anna Nicole show please get it right

318. When did Anna manage to stay off drugs? Whenever you saw her in public for the last 8 nine years she has been with Hs and very high someone was always holding her up. She slured her words (and that was not a southern draw) And you say he loved her and cared for her. At the last music awards she attented which I think was her lowest peak if Howard loved her why did he let her go on stage like that. It's very clear to me some of you don't know what real love is. It ain't letting the one you love go in public the way ANS would be out there and if she was my child I dont care what type of relationship we had I would want my daughter and grandson bodies where I could visit when i wanted to Vergie carried that child nine months no one else. Vergie keep fighting for what you feel is right. Here in St Louis, Mo I'm behind you. And Vergie keep the faith cause we are all on the outside looking in. We were not there to see what happen. If you look closely you could see the strong influence HS had on ANS just look at the interviews. I too also saw two interviews where ANS said she would never date HS with him sitting right next to her

319. Jamie, you don't have to feel sorry for her that's why we all have God as our savior for if we had to wait on man( in you're case woman) we would be in a bad situtation. God cares for us all. Who are you to judge? Are you descent? She was no different than most in Hollywood she just had a different gimmick.. From Anna show she reached out to people less fortunate than herself. Everyone saw her but noone helped her don't judge. Walk a mile in her shoes
