Whitney Houston fans will be able to watch her private funeral on the internet.

Whitney Houston fans will be able to watch her private funeral on the internet.

Her publicist, Kristen Foster, said the Associated Press would be allowed a camera at Saturday’s ceremony in Newark, New Jersey.

AP will stream the service on livestream.com/aplive.

Some fans were disappointed when they learned that the funeral of Newark-born Houston (48), was private and no public memorial was planned.

The service will be at New Hope Baptist Church, where she sang as a child.

She will be buried in Fair View Cemetery in Westfield, where her father John was laid to rest in 2003.
