Anna Nicole Smith was kissed goodbye by her lover Howard K. Stern kissed at her funeral.
The former Playboy Playmate was laid to rest in a lavish pink-themed ceremony in the Bahamas on Friday (02.03.07).
During the service, Stern kissed her pink rhinestone-studded and feather covered coffin.
Richard Milstein - court appointed guardian for Anna Nicole's five-month-old daughter Dannielynn - told crowds gathered outside the Mount Horeb Baptist Church: "Today we share our grief with all of you. Today we come to you to carry out the final, most sacred, solemn act provided to any individual."
The late model-and-actress' mother, Virgie Arthur, and ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, were both present although Dannielynn was not brought to the ceremony.
Both Stern and Birkhead claim to be Dannielynn's biological father.
Celebrity guests included Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash and country singer Joe Nichols.
After the service, Anna Nicole's coffin was taken to Lake View cemetery, where she was buried in a tiara and custom-made, beaded gown next to her son, Daniel, who died of drug-related causes last September.
Anna Nicole died aged just 39 on February 8 after being found unconscious in a Florida hotel room.
In the wake of her death a court battle for the custody of her body ensued after her mother said she wanted her buried near the family home in Texas.

Does Annas daughter get the body
I watched some of the funeral on Entertainment Tonight. It was a joke. Even in death that woman can't get any respect. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for exploiting her that way. RIP Anna
Anna Nicole is dead??
Anna Nicole had no natural beauty, talent, integrity, intelligence or class. All she had was a pathetic drive to get money in any desperate way possible. No tiara placed on her dead body is going to make her a lady. What a joke!
No More jokes Guys....
let anna rest in Pease.
i feel her pain; let's let her rest naked in peace. ok?
Now see what would have happened to people like Steve Irwin, 'The Croc Hunter' if the media chimed in the familes' time of mourning......SAD
anybody alive you people want to smack around?? There's a lot of easy targets out there.
I now think Howard K Stern was really the only person who loved Anna for all her faults. He was just as weak as her - standing by stupidly & watching her take all those medications. Howard wanted to be part of her life so he just became her 'YES' man! But truthfully her Mother was the one who killed Anna from the moment she was born. Talk about a Trailer Trash life???? Sad to say, but she failed Anna from the age of 15! When your child can't turn to you for their problems they turn to their rebellious teen buddies(especially the bad ones)for self-esteem & assurance,like Anna did. She was looking for love in all the wrong places.
Obviously, not meeting her Father until she was 26 also prepared her for marrying a man in his 90's when she was just in her early 20's! Virgie Arthur was all too eager to put down her daughter on TV when Anna's son died last year. She said the nastiest things, just cruel! So no one should be surprised that Anna died. Her own Mother was tormenting her after her the death of Daniel. The nerve of that woman trying to take Anna's body back to Texas,knowing full well Anna would want to be buried next to her beloved Son. What is wrong with that woman? Howard K Stern's browny points just went up BIGTIME!
Word! I was not a fan of Anna's but I feel her pain. Virgie Arthur needs to understand the meaning of 'estranged'. People don't just roll out of bed and decide to drop out of touch. Something must have happened to make Anna despise her own relative so much. I am glad she is laid to rest next to her beloved son, they seemed to be best friends. I also think she actually loved the Marshall guy, and was on a constant search for stability in the form of family.
