Cranford resident Robert Schott said he was approached by security when he visited the cemetery last week. The encounter was pleasant and cordial, but perhaps the approach was unnecessary.
But I understand the delicate balance of the circumstances. Ahrre Maros said he is always approached by security at the cemetery when he visits his father's grave, which is located about 30 feet from Houston's. But he would watch us the whole time. After several visits my mother insisted that he let us visit Whitney's grave as well since we are constantly inconvenienced. He laughed but refused. I understand the reason behind this, but it is quite weird. On Monday, several news vans were spotted outside the cemetery.

Upon his arrival, though, he had brought along an entourage of nine people. While he and his guests were not asked to leave, they were asked to shift to different seats multiple times. Space had to be made so that guests who had actually been invited could be seated. This made Brown very unhappy. He and the entourage left the church before the service began — but not before he made an unsuccessful attempt to speak to his daughter, Bobbi Kristina, who was seated in the front row with her grandmother, Cissy.
Well before the funeral, fans brought tributes of flowers, notes, and balloons to set outside the church for Houston. Though blockades were put up as far as six blocks away from the church, hundreds of fans were lined up to pay their respects.
Houston meant so much to a mother and daughter, they traveled miles from Ontario, Canada. Many wanted to pay their respects, even if from afar.
