Whitney Houston's 'The Bodyguard' Co-Star Kevin Costner Shares Candid Moments At Funeral

3:48 p.m. ET Thanks for viewing Whitney Houston's homegoing coverage with us.

3:46 p.m. ET I've been a pallbearer many times and have never seen a casket carried on the shoulders that way. That was classy. R.I.P. Whitney.

3:44 pm. ET OK, this is pretty emotional here, the procession to carry Whitney's gold casket out of the church while playing "I Will Always Love You."

3:18 p.m. ET Rev. Winans is not joking around. He is preaching. Theme: prioritizing.  Take notes.

3:15 p.m. ET It's always good to have a minister who knew you personally do deliver your eulogy. #amen

3:06 p.m. ET Only Whitney could get the Winans on stage impromptu to sing their classic "Tomorrow." Rev. Marvin Winans said Whitney used to sing this song on tour before she met them.

3:00 p.m. ET Rev. Marvin Winans, who married Whitney and Bobby Brown, has said his opening praying before delivering the eulogy.

2:54 p.m. ET Rickey Minor has been a musical director for everyone, including "American Idol."

2:53 p.m. ET Great choice for CeCe to sing "Yes, Jesus Loves Me." It's the song Whitney briefly sang on stage with Kelly Price the week of her death.

2:50 p.m. ET CeCe Winans is the godmother of Bobbi Kristina. She's singing "Don't Cry For Me."

2:47 p.m. ET I am really amazed that Whitney's cousin Dionne Warwick had the strength to direct the order of the service.

2:43 p.m. ET R. Kelly is holding up, but you can tell that he's having a tough time. They said he had written this song for Whitney 10 years before she released it.

2:41 p.m. ET Since R. Kelly wrote "I Look To You" for Whitney this should be good.

2:37 p.m. ET I know Pat is running long, but I think it's nice that she's taking time to acknowledge these people who were close to Whitney.

2:27 p.m. ET Pat begins to breakdown when talking about Clive Davis and the amount of respect she had for him.

2:23 p.m. ET Pat Houston is Whitney's sister-in-law.

2:20 p.m. ET Stevie has the entire church standing and rocking from side to side as he sings "Love's In Need Of Love Today." This is very nice.

2:11 p.m. ET I like how Kim Burrell have personalized these songs for Whitney. Stevie is singing his special Whitney version of "A Ribbon's In The Sky." He sang that the press could not tear her apart.

2:00 p.m. ET I am glad they had Whitney's bodyguard speak.

1:46 p.m. ET I didn't know that Clive Davis's parents died when he was a teenager. His mother and father died one year apart.

1:45 p.m. ET Looks like Cissy Houston and Bobbi Kristina stood to give Alicia a hug.

1:40 p.m. ET Alicia is really putting her heart into this song "Send Me Angel." Nice choice.

1:37 p.m. ET I really appreciate what Alicia Keys said about Whitney encouraging young artists like herself, Monica, Brandy and Jordin Sparks.

1:25 p.m. ET Kevin Coster said he asked producers to put the filming of "The Bodyguard" on hold for one year to wait for Whitney to finish touring.

1:16 p.m. ET Whitney's "The Bodyguard" co-star Kevin Costner is offering a touching story of he and Whitney's parallels of growing up in church.

1:13 p.m. ET I'm getting chills hearing Kim Burrell sing a personalized cover of Sam Cooke's "Change Is Gonna Come." She was supposed to sing Whitney's "I Believe In You And Me."

1:05 p.m. ET Bishop T.D. Jakes thanked Cissy Houston for sharing Whitney with the world.

1 p.m. ET BeBe Winans just shared the most hilarious, affectionate story about "crazy" Whitney. She insisted that she wanted to sing background for he and CeCe when they prepared to launch their first major headlining tour.
