Lawd...Pat Houston is not only planning a Sweet 16 themed funeral (what the everloving fuck?), but she's also asking for donations to go to her foundation in Bobbi Kristina's name. Reprehensible. DailyMailThat poor child. Fucked up parents and an extended family who couldn't be bothered to do anything but put their hands out for a financial handout. A Sweet Sixteen themed funeral??? What the everloving fuck indeed. RIP Bobbi Kristina. I can't think of this girl without wanting to cry.

When I read that the family wont let Nick Gordon attend, my first thought was that if they banned all the people that failed BK, there would be no one left to attend the funeral.

Is this a new thing? Themes at funerals? Life on a desert island is looking better and better. Funeral themes are real. I've studied it a little, and it's mostly a practice in black communities, although it's widely practiced in parts of the South among many demographics, but it's usually not so elaborate as a Sweet 16 party anywhere. I first heard of it in Mississippi about ten years ago but it's generally a variation among all backgrounds with something like memorial tee shirts, or everyone intentionally wearing bright colors in lieu of somber tones, or having an ice cream party after--something that celebrates life or the idea of a homegoing. TLC had a show a few years ago called Best Funeral Ever, which pretty much covers this. That the family is planning a theme is not unusual, but the Sweet 16 thing is really sad.

Re: funeral themes--I received a survey offer recently, probably because we planned my dad's funeral last spring, on local funeral homes and their marketing methods. One local company is promoting what is essentially Funerals Your Way, meaning they will have a celebration of life service/gathering wherever you want it, with a theme if desired, and with catering, music, etc.--basically party planning with a casket as the focal point. So it sounds like they're trying to capitalize on a growing trend here--coming soon to a funeral home near you.

Leolah Brown was escorted from the funeral after confronting Pat Houston. She could have waited. Yes, Pat's shady as fuck, but it could have waited until the repast. DailyMail

Can't even get their shit together for the funeral. Depressing but not surprising.

They failed her when she was alive, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising that they would fail her in death. But damn- you can't put aside your shit for an hour? You interrupt a eulogy saying that Whitney is going to rise out of her grave to haunt Pat Houston? That's a whole other level of dysfunctional.

So fucking disgusting. How are you going to show out at the girl's funeral? It ain't about you. Leolah Brown needs every square inch of her ass kicked. I really can't remember a more disgusting display of self-promotion. Probably not since CMJ died, and some fake pulpit pimp was giving a press conference and trying to hawk his book. She's out there claiming she's going to expose Pat. That she has documents, and evidence against her? Who cares. Shouldn't they be more focused on finding out what happened to BK? But all her energy is focused on Pat. The one she probably figures will get BK's (and therefore Whitney's) money. The Brown family ain't getting shit. Deal with it, and move the fuck on. I hope they all crawl under a rock and we never here from any of them again. Whew. Had to get that off my chest.
