Bobbi Kristina buried next to mother Whitney Houston

Tension on display at Bobbi Kristina Brown's funeral

A hearse carrying the body of Bobbi Kristina Brown arrived by police escort at a New Jersey funeral home.

The hearse drove behind Whigham Funeral Home on Monday followed by two SUVs carrying relatives.

This is the same funeral home that handled arrangements three years ago for her mother, Whitney Houston.

The funeral home declined to comment about Brown's expected burial next to her mother in Fairview Cemetery in Westfield.

Police closed the road leading to the cemetery to accommodate guests at the private ceremony.

A longstanding rift between families of the young woman's famous mother and father broke out into the open at a memorial service held for Bobbi Kristina at the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta on Saturday.

Leolah Brown, the sister of Bobby Brown, walked out of the church and spoke to reporters gathered outside. She said she was angry because Pat Houston was speaking at the funeral. Pat Houston is the sister-in-law and former manager for the late Whitney Houston.

"I told her that Whitney is going to haunt her from the grave," Leolah Brown told reporters outside the church.

She suggested that the feud between the Houstons and the Browns was far from over.

"It's just getting started," she said.

The 22-year-old was the only child of Houston and musician Bobby Brown.

Bobbi Kristina died in hospice care July 26, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome on Jan. 31.
