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.

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

47. Anna Nicole Smith was a strung-out high paid prostitute. Her pimp was Dap Sugar Stern. He filmed her high and while he wondered how much $$$$$$ he could make. What a lovely pair. Throw her a$$ in that grave and pushed hook nose Howard in after her. If Virgie was trash, Anna continued in her mother's footstep and took it to a new level. Appearing in public drunk, high, slurring her words, staggering, a pitiful sickening sight.
If that baby had been born in the states, Anna would have been arrested for giving birth to a baby addicted to drugs. She would have been treated like any other addicted mother and child protective services would have custody of that child.So trash virgie all you will, but the facts tell a different story.

48. A young team of university baseball players died in a horrible bus accident in ohio this morning. 6 young men died. I hope they get the coverage today. Along with the young people killed in the tornadoes, soldiers who died this week-not the immoral ans. I hope her pepto-bismal themed funeral is pushed off the front page. But it will not be. She was too much a train wreck to ignore.

49. Oh Bushie. Try to be original. And it would be funny except there is no evidence that larry has done or is doing those things. Howard drugged a pregnant ans, howard let her support him for years, Howard is having a party with druggies and weirdos. Howard is holding another man
s baby hostage. So your comment is just silly. Now I see how men like Howard are able to do what they do-dumb women.

50. #18 Elton John expressed his condolences about Anna's deatha nd had nice things to say about her.

Dannielynn will one day wish her mother and brother were buried in the US. Virgie did the right thing in fighting for the bodies of both.

51. Yea that picture spooked me....until i realized that Dr Perper said that they had her laid out in a coffin.....just like a funeral home. They don't show people in a body bag for a "viewing..." just to make an ID i think.... The body bag looks kinda fake tho....and someone coulda doctored the lip color. Someone who had access to pics of Anna passed out..... (Which im sure didnt happen very often...?) Another "friend" scamming money...... It never ends....

52. Cheer up --

The Bahamian government is already letting U.S. law-enforcement officials quietly begin criminal investigations down there into various aspects of this whole sorry mess; they are only waiting for the Bahamian furor to settle before going after Howie publicly and full-throttle on various charges.

The U.S. and the Bahamas also have an extradition treaty. It won't be ignored for the sake of Koward.

(Besides, if money is all the Bahamians care about -- which I personally don't think is true, Dannielynn's the one with the bucks. Also, they wouldn't have let the U.S. begin questioning there.)

What's coming up is several SERIOUS criminal charges, numerous civil issues, IRS investigation of Koward and his family, a Bahamian investigation into fraud, etc ... and doubtless more will be added.

The prinicpals have only been fighting about where a burial was to take place -- The real meat -- numerous CRIMINAL charges, is coming up and will be very in-depth and meticulous. The burial brouhaha is going to pale in comparison.

I worked in the criminal justice field for several years. Cops don't like smooth attorneys who think they themselves are above the law, especially in reference to what's been going down in the Anna Nicole case.

You can bet good money that, even as we speak, there is a small army of pissed-off detectives interviewing, investigating, documenting, and putting two-and-two together -- in excruciating detail.

We're about to see the beginning of the REAL show:

"Howie on a Spit."

Stock up on your popcorn.

53. This all so horrible. As far as Billy Smith, he has no rights. Anna had full custody. He hadn't even talked to him since he was 11. What kind of father is that? I agree with everyone concerning our soldiers. They are over in Iraq dying so we can sit here on our computers and ready all this stuff. I am just as guilty. I have followed this court room circus. The worst part is Anna was a very strong-willed woman who did things her way. Larry and Howard were her puppets on a string. Daniel was an adult and can make his own decisions as well. No one killed them, they made their own choices. Out of all of her friends Howard was the only one still there. The rest of her so called friends and family are just there for the 5 minutes of fame. Look at that woman Jackie (?), who said she was the godmother of baby Dannielynn. She has kinda disappeared now that the truth is out that Anna hated her. I bet Vergie is behind all this madness with Billy wanting to exhume Daniel's bodyand Splash is probably footing the bill. I think Vergie and the rest of the clan should be banned from the funeral. Remember you are paying your respects to the deceased and HER FAMILY had no respect for her by the way they have done things. I read this yesterday that Anna died of pneumonia and that could have very well been true. She was really sick with flu like symptoms. So who really knows. As far as Dannielynn, she has to grow up without her mother. That in itself is a tradgedy. I would like to see all the lawyers go away and Howard and Larry work this out between each other and raise Dannielynn together. I know that sounds crazy but then this circus might go away. They both seem like the only two people who really loved her.

55. Hey by me : I don't really think the family of Anna's qualify as hillbillies but Sterns bunch do qualify as killers ,drug pushers etc etc etc .

56. I thought I heard at the trial that ANS brother was a federal agent or something with the US Govt.

57. When they start handing down criminal charges it will be interesting to see who rats out on who.

58. With Nicole on drug how can you separate Nicole wishes from Howard's? I would not want my daughter buried in the Bahamas.

59. 53. Maybe that explains why here siblings kept a low profile.

Posted at 7:55AM on Mar 2nd 2007 by Kiki

60. Anna didn't want to be buried in the Bahamas, she was trying to get Daniel moved to the US, they were running from the law, fugatives, this funeral is a farce.
