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.

61. why didn't Stern pin the 7 insurance policies to her pick drapped coffin? Scumbag Stern just like most men who knock off their wife for the insurance, I guess you don't watch CourtTV Forensic shows. Like the husband who pushed his wife off a Big Sur cliff and tried to blame the dog, that's you.

63. why don't you just let her rest in peace how you like it if it was one of your family member and someone said nasty remarks about them.
I don't think there anything wrong in what was on her coffin if that is what she chose
some of you need to get a life

66. gawd she was beautiful!!!! finally peace for Anna........i wish I could have ever known the kind of love she and her son shared.......i have 2 grown sons, one would spit on my grave, the other, well he just can't be bothered.

67. Koward's going to find out real quick that a slew of police detectives and big-league insurance investigators is a little different to deal with than one poor, drugged-out pin-up girl.

68. Oh God, after this funeral,will all the ANS stuff go away too??? I can't take anymore of this nonsense! She was a D-lister if she was lucky, a media whore and a tramp. To everyone who is making her out to be some kind of saint now, shame on you!

70. #53 I heard her report and agree with you completely. He's only looking out for his future earnings to see how much more money he can make from her. Last night on Nancy Grace Virgie Arthur's lawyer said that there are 7 life insurance policies that her son was the benificere and if he was dead they would go to Stern. Sounds like motive to me.

71. it was probably a beautiful service, and exactly what anna would've accepted. anna was over the top in life, so why shouldn't a service that is supposed to celebrate her life be any different. now it's time for virgie to go home and tend to her family members that actually need all of her misguided attention. i.e. her son in prison, her homeless daughter amy, and crackhead cousin shelly.

frog- i've seen alot of your postings, i'd really like your insight of this video of cousin shelly. she was the "brunette relative" referred to in the article of virgie's first meeting with dannielynn.

and yes, it is anna's actual cousin, she was on an episode of the anna nicole show. howard had nothing to do with anna's issues, he just didn't want to abandon her and backstab her as others have done in the past. anyway, watch the video and tell me if the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

72. The caption under the photo states that Splash is donating the money from the photo to the Dannielynne trust fund- Exactly who is the current Trustee of this fund?

Millstein is the Guardian Ad Litum, but is he the trustee? Please tell me it's not Howard???

73. Tackiness at it's best.... popcorn, candy, peanuts, come one, come all... and the main attraction is....... pink streamers on a casket. Isn't that special? I thought all of this was about Dannielynn...the poor child is going to need serious help when she is old enough to view the tape of her mothers funeral.

74. Howard your a piece of SH*T!!!! it's Anna's funeral for god sakes it is NO TIME at all to be talking about all of the legal stuff that has happend it was inapropriate and disgraceful HOW.DARE.YOU.!. Now I don't agree with what Vergie did this morning but Howard should never EVER had brought all of this up today at Anna's funeral, what a ass hole he should never be allowed to be near or touch Dannielynn EVER. You people attack Vergie well Howard has done plenty of horrendous acts then Ms. Arthur. BURN IN HELL HOWARD!!!!.
R.I.P Anna my prayers are with you and Danniel and your baby Dannielynn.
