Anna Nicole's Coffin Finally Gets to Church

Posted Mar 2nd 2007 11:10AM by TMZ Staff

The hearse containing the body of Anna Nicole Smith arrived just moments ago at the Sandy Port community church in the Bahamas, where hundreds of mourners will pay their last respects to Anna Nicole.

Anna's mother, Virgie Arthur, arrived with the casket, though her lawyers essentially tried to stop the funeral before the body arrived. A few minutes ago, the casket was carried up to the church on a long red carpet, Hollywood premiere-style. The casket was draped in a pink cloth of some kind, with long ribbons and feathers. Neither Howard K. Stern nor Larry Birkhead were pallbearers.

The brown casket was ferried to the church in a white hearse, guided by a police motorcycle and followed by a white Bentley sedan, snaking its way up the Bahamian coastline.

5. A RED CARPET? OMG, this funeral is the epitome of "bad taste." Someone on TV said that Vergie took a magazine crew with her to visit the body one last time--Splash Magazine, I believe. That woman has no class.

What a freak show this whole tragedy has turned into.

12. I thought it was hilarious that out of all those shiny white limos Virgie and her clan had the old, crappy one. Deliberate? You can bet your ass!

13. Does anyone know what News Station got to go into the funeral? I bet Howard made an agreement with ET. I hate Howard. Sorry guys! I think they are all in for the money. I have to say Larry is the only one that made himself look good. Atleast he just wants his baby.
