How much money has Howard K. Stern been paid to let ET’s cameras in on the funeral? Millions, I would expect.
Anna’s funeral will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday at the Mount Horeb Baptist Church in Nassau, The Bahamas. Afterwards, Anna will be laid to rest in Lakeview Memorial Gardens. The church and graveside services are closed to the public.
A timeline of the events:
5:25 a.m.: The motorcade arrives at the Broward County Medical Examiner’s office. Local law enforcement will escort the hearse containing Ms. Smith’s casket to the Miami International Airport, where it will be flown by private plane to The Bahamas. Media may line up on either side of the street to pay their respects as the hearse passes.
9:00 a.m.: Private plane arrives at Million-Air Airport in Nassau. Customs will be cleared and the casket will be transferred to a hearse. Motorcade transports Ms. Smith’s casket to Mount Horeb Church in Nassau.
10:10 a.m.: Richard C. Milstein, Guardian ad litem, makes a statement to the media at Mount Horeb Church.
10:30 a.m.: Church service begins.
11:30 a.m.: The family leaves the church for a private graveside service.
11:45 a.m.: Graveside service begins.
The itinerary further states: "Mr. Milstein kindly requests that the members of the media uphold the decorum and dignity that should be maintained throughout this process, for the sake of Dannielynn and the memories she will have of her mother’s funeral."
"She did have a lot of specific things [that she wanted]," Howard told ET’s MARK STEINES earlier this week about Anna’s details of her own funeral. "I’m going to do everything in my power to make it what she would have wanted."
Anna’s favorite color, pink, will decorate the funeral. Pink peonies, pink roses, stargazers and white calla lilies will decorate the church during the service. Her casket will have a pink velvet cover, and ET has learned that Anna will be buried in a handmade pink dress and a tiara. The dress was designed by her friends POL ATTEU and PATRIK SIMPSON.
Country singer JOE NICHOLS will sing the poignant, emotional ballad "I’ll Wait for You," as well as DOLLY PARTON‘s moving anthem "Wings of a Dove," at the funeral, as requested by Howard. Anna met the singer at the Grand Ole Opry back in 2005, and she was a fan of his music.
Following the church memorial service, a police escort will accompany the hearse carrying Anna’s casket. About 30 of Anna’s closest friends and relatives have been asked to witness her interment next to DANIEL‘s grave.
ET has learned that the graveside mourners will each be handed a red rose and a pink rose to lay on the coffin. The red rose symbolizes Daniel, while the pink symbolizes Anna. Each guest will also be asked to write a personal note to Anna on pink heart-shaped paper. Those messages will be dropped into the grave so her casket is engulfed in messages of love.
And Anna’s late husband, J. HOWARD MARSHALL II, will also be present. The urn that holds a portion of his ashes will be buried with Anna.
I think this is a very sad time for the people who loved and cared for Anna.
Especially Howard…. People don’t have any clue obout this man.
I wonder why Anna did not pay for all the servises she was getting from Howard, maybe because they had some kind of agreement, or maybe they had an open commonlaw realationship. What that mean is, that they were husband and wife (while still having other relationships), and do you know of any husband and wife paying each other????
What did he do for her? He certainly did not serve her well as an attorney. He was a free loader and she was his meal ticket. He said it under oath, he made no money and Anna paid for everything, even his flipping shoes. What kind of man is that?
He kept Larry B away from her, and moved her to Nassau because he knows he is not the father. Larry was and is a huge threat to him, why? Because Larry is the father of that child and where will the money go, to the child and his legal father. A HUGE threat on Howards free ride.
For all you people who are ridiculing and questioning Howard’s loyalty to Anna,can you show me one person who did anything for her.
Howard, keep the strength and Faith my Friend.
Howard K is a gold digger,7 life insurance policies payable to him, should Daniel not be alive…humm….
He used his alloted time for his eulogy and made it all about him, as if he was the only person who knew Anna and cared. I cannot stand him or Vergie, they both need to exit stage left!
Larry Birkhead is the only decent person in this tangled web. I pray he gets full custody of his child and denies Howard and Vergie visitation, but you know what, he is to decent to even consider that!
You did a great job today for the funeral Howard…Don’t worry about people who are judging you. They are envious of you. My husband and I can see in yours and Anna’s eyes how you truly feel about each other.
Please People….Remember Anna Nicole choose Howard Stern with everything she has,even with her children… can’t you all respect that, and leave the man alone, and also stop judging him…..Who the heck do all of you think you are to do this…. I think he is the only person who truly love and respected her.
Also have you ever ask yourself why did Vergie flew to the Bahamas instead of flying to Florida when she heard of her “Anna” death. Think about that….Not forgetting “Mommy Dearest” was also late for her Anna’s funeral…..
Obout Larry… Why didn’t he go to the Bahamas when his child was born? Very poor excuse Larry. I hope if this child is really yours, You please repect Anna wishes and make sure Howard is in Dannylynn’s life as well.
