Smith’s Funeral
Anna Nicole Smith’s funeral in the Bahamas has taken place, despite last minute attempts by her mother to stop the service. Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur had filed a last-minute motion in a Bahamian court to halt the burial and take her daughter’s body back to Texas, but it was rejected just before the memorial service started. Smith’s mother arrived in a white stretch limousine with an entourage of about 10 people. She wore a black dress and waved to the cheering crowd. Despite the court furor, hundreds of Bahamians turned out to watch Anna Nicole Smith’s coffin arrive on a private jet and make its way to the Mount Horeb Baptist Church in Nassau where it was carried along a red carpet. Around 300 guests attended a private service at the church. The mahogany coffin was carried into the white-columned Mount Horeb Baptist Church, as hundreds of tourists and fans watched from behind steel barricades guarded by Bahamian police. Some in the crowd cried out “Anna! Anna! We love you!” Her coffin was covered with a pink rhinestone-studded blanket and her portrait was displayed on the church altar. Smith’s casket was closed and the pews were festooned with pink flowers, said one of the guests. She was mourned by family and friends during the funeral service before being taken to the cemetery. A white limousine took her body to Lakeview Memorial Park cemetery where she was buried next to her son Daniel, in a ceremony watched by around 30 close friends and family members.
