[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Whitney Houston[/lastfm] has been all the buzz in her death, but has the National Enquirer taken it too far? The publication which is renowned for setting the bar very, very low has decided to publish a cover story featuring a photo of Whitney in an open casket!

At the Whigham Funeral Home in New Jersey before Whitney Houston’s burial last weekend, the ‘Enquirer’ grabbed a photo of Whitney resting peacefully in her casket…

National Enquirer

Somehow the magazine thought it was appropriate to put an unauthorized picture of the late singer’s dead body on every newsstand in America.

The tabloid says Houston was “finally at peace after a tumultuous and troubled life in the spotlight.”

Turning a moment of peace and reflection for the friend and family of Whitney Houston – into a tabloid spectacle…

It’s certainly poor taste and the establishment of a new low for the National Enquirer!

I dont think it was wrong because Yes WHITNEY HOUSTON was an ICON and she shared her life with the world and the world would like to have seen her @ rest as well…..Also @least they waited til everything was over, but I’m glad they shared the pic maybe ALL of her fans can be at ease a little now because they got a chance to see her really in her coffin resting. I know I am and I loved her R.I.P. WHITNEY no disrespect, now ur dancing with the LORD..

Well all I can say is that it’s wrong to put this on the front cover of a tabloid, the National Enquirer, we all know will stoop to an all time low to get what they want. However I can now say I have closure, and so does the whole entire world. I truly believe she’s at peace now. Therefore sleep on Whitney and get your rest, the entire world loved you, but God loved you best. R.I.P. A fan that loved you, therefore I am going to honor your memory,by not trashing this gesture that the National Enquirer did, because you looked beautiful. I can now move on, this happens sometimes when a celebrity of her stature is loved, people want closure, and they will go to any extreme to say goodbye, it doesn’t make it right, however she brought a lot people happiness and joy, so I do understand it, I am not condoning it, but I understand it.

This is horrible! They should respect her and her family by not publishing this. They shouldn’t have done that. It’s personal stuff and they should respect that. I know I would be very irritated if they would have published a photo of my mom or sister in a casket. But my respects and prayers go towards the Houston family.
