Whitney’s publicist announced that the services will be an intimate setting, seating about 1,500 people including only a dozen or so confirmed celebrities have been invited to.
Pastor Marvin Winans (yes from the musical Winans family) will deliver the eulogy. Winans also officiated Whitney and Bobby Brown’s wedding back in 1992.
Winans confirmed that there would not be a public memorial for Whitney because the family didn’t “want to have a parade.” He continued, “I don’t think knowing Cissy (Houston’s mother) and the Houston family … it was a matter of public or private as it was this is my daughter, this is my sister, this is my mother, this is my friend and we want to do this with dignity.”
Aretha Franklin is set to sing at the funeral while other celebrity guests to bid farewell to their friend include: Chaka Khan, Bebe & CeCe Winans, songwriter Diane Warren, the Rev.
