Inside Anna's Funeral

Outside, it was a circus. Inside, it was beautiful.

Larry Birkhead, Howard K. Stern, Virgie Arthur and several hundred more of Anna Nicole Smith's closest friends and family paid their last respects to the former Playboy Playmate and TRIMSPA spokesperson in a private ceremony at Mount Horeb Baptist Church in Nassau earlier today.

After the service, Anna's coffin was moved to Lake View cemetery, for the burial -- the final chapter in the tumultuous life of Anna Nicole Smith ... perhaps.

Splash News has been hired as the official photographer of the funeral. Proceeds from the sale of this and other photographs are being donated to the Dannielynn Hope Trust Fund.

22. for those of you bashing her mother, omg look at $tern, he used the podium at the funeral to pretty much bash other people and call them liars............talk about undignified and inappropriate!

24. Every other person at that service probably had "relations" with Anna Nicole Smith. Stern Gets all monies, everyone wants monies. We send a message to our young adults that all you have to do is show your body, sleep around, drink and do drugs and you you get all the attention desired as well as rich. I feel sorry for nobody in this situation. The public is simply obsessed with "obsession" and dysfunction, simple! As soon as shes in the ground, everyone will scatter with their OWN greedy intentions. I wish the news would stop already, she was nobody. Mother Theresa Dies, whos literally a SAINT, and all she got was a 4th page ad in some newspaper and maybe 10 minutes of news coverage.

26. Damn are you watching Rita Cosby's account about the funeral on MSNBC!!!! She said both Virgie and Larry got up and said some very nice personal things about Anna, but that HOWARD got up there and used his time to talk about the legal stuff.

He said that everything that happened in court was a lie and and the "so called" family members who held up the funeral never really loved her and apparently he looked right at Virgie! I mean damn, he may, hell we all may feel that way but to get up and do that at a funeral! He is no better than she. He is lowclass to bring all that stuff up at the funeral service. Damn shame if you ask me. I can't stand him.

Oh and then he promised anna he would protect "their" baby. Whatever.

28. It was reported on MSN Howard took the opportunity to attack Anna's family and protect his own image at the funeral. No couth! This is not the time to attack...

30. MSNBC reports that Howard is getting paid by ET for coverage of Anna Nicole's funeral. This guy is scum.
