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.

18. 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!

20. Let us say a pray for the peaceful soul of Anna Nicole Smith, O lord please let our sister rest in peace, with no more anger or distress. Let her be taken by the angels of the lord, that will protect her and guide her to her next journey. Let her be with her son and be always looking over her daughter and protecting her from anything that does her harm. Bless this woman and her family in this very sad time, that they all realize one thing there is only one word in the universe that heals all Love.
Amen

21. I'm glad the funeral has finally started...We are blaming Anna's mother for the hold up but Anna liked attention how do we know that this wasn't planned this way....As for as Howard Slime Ball he is out for money....There are only one news crew inside the church and thats ET .Howard sold them rights to the funeral..But Howard's isn't out for money?Yeah right...Howard was with Anna all this time because he was her lap dog...Howie go get me some coffee..Okay Anna dear..What a joke...Howard isn't that baby's father let her get to now her father Larry..She has a right to know who her father is..As for as the grandmother let that baby get to know her..What gets me is everybody says Anna wanted this and Anna wanted that..Who says that what Anna wanted was the right thing..

25. Someone (I'm sure it was HKS) got big money from the media to cover the memorial service and the burial. They just announced that on Headline News. Maybe his family finally cut him off.

26. A red carpet and streamers... that is the worst. Are they blowing up balloons too? Like a party favor to take home.... popcorn anyone? or cotton candy? This is the circus come to town. For a moment i thought that everyone might wear white and wedding gowns.

27. a red carpet and pink feathers? Who the hell organized this funeral, Liberace?

Between the trailer park mom and gay HKS, maybe she committed suicide? Who could blame her?

29. Virgie arrived after the Hearse...The hearse was waiting outside for approx. 30 mins cus dear old mom tried to have the service halted. What a bitch!!! I hope Howard gets custody od the baby and lives a happy life...He deserves it. Why did ANS not want Larry to have anything to do with the baby??? He is ok but Howard has taken a lot of crap for things he is not guilty of..Everyone here in Houston knows ANS was doing drugs long before HKS came into the picture,The New York Post reported that a British firm is paying Virgie and all the expenses for her Attys.

30. Howard only true intentions to keep Dannyilynn is money..He is scum..Anna said she hated her mother because her mother went on Cnn and accused her of killing Danny..We are forgetting one crucial fact..When Daniel died it was reported that Anna told somebody in the room you killed Daniel.you killed my son..That was reported in the news..Her mother went on Cnn and just repeated hearing that....
