WESTFIELD, N.J. (AP) — A hearse has carried the body of Bobbi Kristina Brown to her final resting place next to her mother at a New Jersey cemetery.

The hearse left a funeral home in Newark late Monday morning followed by two SUVs carrying relatives, including cousin Dionne Warwick.

It’s the same funeral home that handled arrangements three years ago for Bobbi Kristina’s mother, Whitney Houston.

Police closed the road leading to Fairview Cemetery in Westfield.

The 22-year-old was the only child of Houston and musician Bobby Brown.

Bobbi Kristina died in hospice care July 26, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome.
