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.

93. OK OK Ok! You know what the only thing that is missing to all this!!

Is she really dead????????????

Will she be the next Elvis. Really think about this. No pictures of her going to the emergency room. And I am sorry I have not seen really tears at all in this whole issue. It is just food for thought!!

96. 48. #33 D Day, she is not resting in peace, she is burning in hell where she belongs, and yeah, the cover is tacky everything about the funeral is tacky but it is perfect for her!

Wow, if you believe in hell, then I would assume you might be a Christian, but your words don't reflect that. After all, Christ says Judge not lest you be judged.

97. I cant believe how cruel we all have become. Hey lets face it Anna did what she thought she had to do to make it in this world. As far as I am concerned she did what she had to do to get away from her life the way she knew it. We can all sit here and judge her for her drug use or for her choice in a 1000 year old husband. But when its all said and done she lost her son. A child in which it was obvious how much she loved him and now she has lost her own life and there is another child in the middle of all of this her child that no one really seems to care about. Our world is all about money and everyone close to this child has there hand out. It is a very sad situation for this innocent baby girl. I guess all I have left to say is atleast she is in a better place then we are. For those of us who still believe in something. May Dannilynn have a better chance at life then what her mother did. Anna & Daniel rest in peace.

98. Here is how I see it. I saw the video of Anna, Howard, Larry & that Dr. at that nightclub (tmz.com). It was painfully obvious that Anna ignored Larry and that she simply "shooed" Howard away for her to snuggle up to the Dr. I don't think Anna truly loved any of them - and they knew it. What this all boils down to is $. Cold hard cash. Shame on Virgie, Howard and Larry. But isn't that what Anna was all about with that ol' guy she married? Shame on them all. What goes around comes around. Remember that!

99. Stern is a sleeze and Larry Birkhead should get HIS daughter right away and not have to make ANY deals to do so!!!!! The baby looks JUST like Larry! He should change her name and move far away and try to have a normal life. That poor baby and poor Larry!!! He seems like a decent person.

100. It may have been wrong for Howard to use his time at the podium to bash Virgie, but can you imagine how upset he and others must have been when Virgie tried to halt the funeral? They had this beautiful funeral planned and Virgie had to try to wreck it. If it wasn't for Virgie holding up the buriel, Anna Nicole could have had an open casket. Virgie just won't let go. She has to "win." Apprarently the crowds outside the church booed when she got out of the limo.

102. Hello people? Vergie has the relationship with SPLASH!!!!!
Don't be so quick to point the finger.

She was late to her daughter's funeral because she tried to stop the funeral, by the way, one of her companion's in the LIMO was SPLASH employee's.

You really didn't think Vergie paid for the ride? Did you?

Talk about eating your young, it doesn't get any better than this!
This human piece of dirt will never be able to hold her heard up, ever again!

Adios "MOMMIE DEAREST", git back ta Texas!!!!

105. I am wondering how Entertainment Tonight will spin this?

Accordint to MSNBC, Virgie got a mixed reaction from the crowd outside the church. Larry Birkhead got cheers and Howard K. Stern got boos.
