Whitney Houston has just been buried at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey.
The singer was laid to rest next to her father, John Russell Houston, who died in 2003.
The burial was a small "family only" affair and not a star-studded event like yesterday's funeral service.
Houston's funeral wasn't all smooth-sailing after the star's ex-husband Bobby Brown left after an alleged bust-up with a family member.
The My Prerogative singer arrived at the service at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, on Sunday and walked up to her coffin and lovingly touched it.
Brown was accompanied by an entourage of nine people who he wanted to sit with him in the family section of the congregation.
When he was told this wasn't acceptable and they would have to be seated elsewhere he angrily stormed out with his group.
However, Brown - whose 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina sat directly behind her mother's coffin with her grandmother Cissy Houston - later returned to the Baptist church on his own and was seen entering through a side-door.
Many of Houston's family have blamed Brown - whose tumultuous 14-year marriage to the My Love Is Your Love singer ended in divorce in April 2007 - for getting Houston hooked on drugs. Her death on February 11 is believed to have been caused by a lethal mix of alcohol and prescription pills.
The funeral was led by the Pastor Joe Carter, while Houston's cousin Dionne Warwick introduced the speakers and musical performances.
Mourners included Kevin Costner, Clive Davis, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Brandy and Jennifer Hudson.
Back in charts
Three of Whitney Houston's best known singles soared back into Britain's top 40 pop chart today following her death.
Houston's version of the Dolly Parton ballad I Will Always Love You entered the weekly rundown at number 14, while I Wanna Dance with Somebody was in 20th place.
One Moment in Time, a song Houston recorded for the 1988 Olympics in South Korea, was a new entry at number 40, according to the Official Charts Company, which compiles the list.
A collection of Houston's greatest hits entered the album chart at number seven.
Houston was found dead in a hotel in Beverly Hills on Saturday, February 11, and the cause of death has yet to be determined.
The chart's compiler said earlier in the week that 27 of her singles had climbed into the top 200. The deaths of Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse led to similar dramatic increases in record sales.
