"Whitney Houston&amp;#039;s godmother Darlene Love has said that the late singer&amp;#039;s burial was &amp;quot;like a procession&amp;quot; because of the fans who lined the streets to say goodbye.  Houston was remembered by friends and family at a &amp;#039;home-going&amp;#039; service at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday (February 18), and laid to rest next to her father at the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey the following day.   Speaking on NBC&amp;#039;s Today this morning (February 20), singer Love said: &amp;quot;The burial was very emotional. The best thing about that burial was that it was like a procession because the people lined the streets.  &amp;quot;We looked out of the windows of the car and they were crying. It made [Houston&amp;#039;s mother] Cissy and [daughter] Bobbi Kristina feel good. Everybody is getting over yesterday. Now it is closure and we have to go on with life because Whitney would have wanted that.&amp;quot; Watch Darlene Love talking on Today below:   Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy When asked about the outpouring of support from fans both lining the streets and in the form of buying Houston&amp;#039;s music, she said: &amp;quot;It means they loved her no matter what. Our fans, no matter what we do, they say things but they still love us unconditionally and they showed that last night. We talked about it going to the burial.  &amp;quot;The streets were lined with hundreds of people all the way up into the cemetery and they were waving and crying. That was so emotional to us. It really made us feel good.&amp;quot;  Love also dismissed reports that Bobbi Kristina had disappeared after her mother&amp;#039;s funeral, saying: &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not true. She was with us, she was with the family.&amp;quot; Houston was discovered dead in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 11, where she had been staying ahead of the Grammy Awards.  Among those who attended her funeral this weekend were family members including Dionne Warwick and stars such as Kevin Costner, Tyler Perry, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys and R Kelly.
