Whitney Houston's body has arrived in Newark, New Jersey at Whigham Funeral Home and yet her untimely death still comes as a shock to many. Bobby Brown and their daughter Bobbi Kristina are currently together and getting ready to pay their respects with the rest of their family to the singer for one last time.

Reuters reports that Whitney's body was flown in a plane owned by actor-producer Tyler Perry from Los Angeles to Newark on Monday. Whitney grew up in Newark and some of her family members have been attending the church that she grew up in for many years. Whitney was known for singing in the choir when she was younger.
As it should be, those close to the icon have kept mum on details of the ceremony. However, the Associated Press now reports that a wake is planned for Thursday with the funeral taking place the following day. Newark's Prudential Center is said to be where it takes place. However, there's rumors that there's arguments within the family on whether or not her service should be kept private or public.
As the world now knows, Houston died unexpectedly at 48 on Saturday, the eve of the Grammys. Her autopsy has been complete but it could take up to two weeks for the toxicology results to come in. Even then, the findings may not be revealed.
