Anna's Final Journey Underway

Composite of Anna Nicole Smith with wingsThe very very very long awaited funeral procession for Anna Nicole Smith has finally begun.

Smith's body has left the Broward County Medical Examiner's office under police escort, which will follow all the way to Miami International Airport. The coffin will then be transferred to private plane, and flown directly to the Bahamas.

Once on the island, another motorcade will transport Smith's casket to Mount Horeb Church in Nassau, where 300 invited guests will attend the funeral. Anna will then be buried next to her son Daniel, who died last September.

To view the procession as it happens, tune in to the live feed from Miami's WTVJ, right here.

31. We have soldiers risking and losing their lives all over the world, and they do not even get their photos or names mentioned on the news. And, this constantly intoxicated, borderline illiterate, grade 8 educated, stripper, with the complete lack of morals to be taking narcotics while pregnant as well as nursing and leaving a newborn to go to a casino is being sent prayers, cried over,compared to Movie icons like Marilyn Monroe, and almost made into an angelic figure? What is wrong with society and the media today, is it simply that the only thing required to become popular or important is the willingness to denigrate oneself publicly by disrobing and performing sex acts on video such as Paris Hilton and Ms. Smith - do not blame Mr. Stern et al - they are simply the product of the same global society which allowed Ms. Smith to be a celebrity for being a whore and allows the Gotti family to have a reality show or Paris Hilton to have so much media coverage or allowed no one in the legal profession to stop Mr. Stern from behaving in such an outrageous manner for so many years - meritocracy and ethics have been replaced by pornography - and frankly I doubt that Ms. Smith if the records of her life on video are any evidence of her character is resting in peace anywhere in a metaphysical sense - atleast according to any literal interpretation of any Bible or Holy book that I have ever read. The only wonder will be if that infant does not suffer from any disorder caused by ingestion of narcotics or alcohol during pregnancy - save your prayers for people who see this entire lot as anything other than proof that this society needs reformation not more Ms. Smith's or her ilk.

32. Oh, Please. She was never Norma Jean! She did not live a graceful life. She lived a slutty life. There sn't a photo where she isn't posing like a porn star, with her hands in her crotch, her mouth like she's making out. Disgusting!
Be that as it may, Daniel's father did not, under oath, say he wouldn't exhume Daniel, he said he couldn't AFFORD to. When the final question was pose, "would you if you had the moeny?", he said, "YES!" Listen carefully, people. He only said they should be buried together. Period. As they should. It's because of Stern that they are both in the Bahamas. They were fugitives from US LAW!! That's why they were there in the first place. Then, Daniel mysteriously dies within the 24 hours he spent there, lies in a morgue for 39 days while his mother redecorates her new house and Stern writes checks in her name. Now everyone is stuck there - what to do with Smith's body. Of course she has to be buried there. Stern made it so her son was there.
Now.... what's with the motorcade???? Who the hell was she that she gets this?!?!?!?!

33. Patricia Cohen - John Travolta and Donald Trump both knew Anna and have spoken very highly & sweetly of her.

34. Why am I NOT sup0rised that there's yet another hold up, and Virgie may well be behind it?

Evidently, Virgie one poor excuse of a human being that is beneath contempt!! Not only has she made a mockery, travesty, and a joke out of a situation that SHOULD be dignified, and treated with the utmost of respect! How low can she go? Since the State of Florida wasn't playing her game, now, she manipulates her late Grandson's father to begin the process to have Daniel exhumed and moved to the States JUST to hold up Anna Nicole's funeral?? How dispicable!

I can only hope that Karma is a B*tch with teeth, and that it will hurt like hell when she finally bites those responsible for this latest outrage!!!!

37. Yes, John Travolta ...promoting Scientology...said that Scientology might have been able to "save" her. And, Donald Trump...give me a break...he loves manufactured women! Seriously though, what does that tell you. See was nice to people she met. I don't see the "Hollywood" community grieving. That's not to say she wasn't a nice person...talent is another story.

38. Yes the feed is working - they just said the father of Daniel has a 9am hearing in the Bahamas about Daniel!!!! This could put ANS funeral off!

Virgie and her cronies just can't leave it alone! UNREAL!

40. I'm sure the Bahamas are thrilled to have ANS buried there by the looks of things. Charging entrance fee for the church service just shows they are in for the money as. Next will be Anna-Anna Land which I bet someone from the Bahamas will buy her mansion for $10 million dollars and turn it into a shrine. Wonder what the entrance fee will be for that and the included cemetary tour. What I would like to know is...what's happened to Sugar-pie, her dog..and who is its court appointed guardian????

41. Our military people, each and every one of them, deserve over-the-top ceremonies for their brave service and sacrifice, but Pres Bush has ordered that no pictures or media coverage be allowed of our dead and wounded returning from Iraq & Afghanistan. Talk to HIM about that, why he is hiding them. He has sanitized the war so we don't see the casualties - so we won't rock his boat.

43. Howard supporters are all kinds of stupid.
GO Howard. Drug more pregnant ladies.
GO Howard. Let a woman support you for years.
Go Howard: Keep a baby hostage while you sell her mother' s funeral and turn her burial service into a media circus.
Yeah Howard.
Howard you and your friends suck. Have fun with the weirdos, gays and druggies at the Horizon mansion after the funeral. Party on Howard. Jail awaits you.
