“There’s a special place in hell for the person who snuck a photo of Whitney Houston in her casket,” the Daily Star quoted one fan, kath3000 as saying.
Another fan, Peter Holder, wrote: “No privacy for Whitney, even in death.”
The photos, passed to the National Enquirer, were taken at Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, New Jersey, where her family held a private wake on the eve of the ceremony.
Saturday’s service was attended by celebrities including Mariah Carey, Oprah Winfrey and Stevie Wonder.
