Tragic final journey for Bobbi Kristina as her casket arrives at church

Bobbi Kristina's casket has arrived at the church ahead of where the 22-year-old's contentious funeral will be held.

It was lifted from the back of a hearse in Atlanta, Georgia, as family members gathered for the service which is believed to have a 'Sweet 16' theme.
The hearse was escorted by two policemen on motorcycles into the parking lot of St. James United Methodist Church.

Security is tight with check points manned by family personnel and Georgia State Troopers in anticipation of VIP guests from the Houston and Brown families, including Bobbi's father, Bobby Brown and her mother's cousin, Dionne Warwick.


All guests have been advised to arrive 'as early as possible' and bring a 'governnment-issued photo ID'. Guests were also asked not to bring their phones inside the church.

The ceremony, overseen by aunt Pat Houston, began at 11am and has been a source of dispute within the family amid arguments over Bobbi's $20 million inheritance. Dionne Warwick, Whitney Houston's cousin, has even threatened to boycott the event.

After the funeral, Bobbi Kristina's body will then be flown to New Jersey where she will be laid to rest next to her mother and grandfather at the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield.
