Houston died in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday at the age of 48. Her body was flown back to her native New Jersey on Monday.
Some fans were disappointed when they learned that the funeral was private and no public memorial was planned.
Houston was born in Newark. The service will be at New Hope Baptist Church, where she sang as a child. Gospel singer Marvin Winans will reportedly give the eulogy at the request of Houston's mother, gospel singer Cissy Houston.
