A chilling
photo of WHITNEY HOUSTON lying in her coffin has been published by a U.S.
tabloid.
National
Enquirer editors obtained grainy images of the late superstar taken at the
Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, New Jersey, where a private wake for close
friends and family was held on Friday (17Feb12).
The pictures
show Houston
wearing a purple dress with colour-co-ordinated eye shadow and lip gloss, and
jewellery worth a reported $500,000 (£312,500).
A source tells
the publication, "Whitney looked lovely... like a queen."
The platinum
coffin also had the singer's nickname, "Nippy", embroidered in the
silk lining between two treble clef symbols in recognition of her longrunning
music career.
Houston
was found dead in the bathtub of her Los Angeles hotel suite on 11 February (12). She was
remembered by celebrity pals including Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Alicia
Keys, media mogul Oprah Winfrey, filmmaker Tyler Perry and her The Bodyguard
co-star Kevin Costner during an emotional four-hour memorial service on
Saturday (18Feb12) and was laid to rest beside her father's grave at Fairview
Cemetery in Westfield on Sunday.
