Bobbi Kristina Brown's loved ones, including her father Bobby Brown, flocked to a Georgia church on Saturday to honor her at a private funeral.

Bobbi Kristina was the only child of pop icon Whitney Houston, his late ex-wife. The 22-year-old died last Sunday after spending several months in a coma. She had been found unconscious in a filled bathtub inside her home on Jan. 31. Whitney was found in a similar manner in a Beverly Hills hotel room in 2012 before she was declared dead on the scene at age 48. Bobbi Kristina is expected to be laid to rest beside her in Westfield, New Jersey on Monday.

The funeral took place at the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. Men were seen carrying a silver casket into the church. A motorcade of up to 75 vehicles, led by police on motorcycles, was seen driving up to it. Security was tight. Guests had to go through three checkpoints manned by state troopers, E! News has learned.

Bobbi Kristina was dressed in a pink outfit and pink roses were placed on her casket, E! News has learned.

Bobby's sister Leolah Brown also attended and left mid-service after confronting Pat inside the church. Pat has not commented.

Bobbi Kristina's longtime partner Nick Gordon, 19, was not at the funeral on Saturday, People reported.

Bobbi Kristina's family has been questioning the circumstances leading up to her death. Nick, who was home when she was found unconscious, has maintained his innocence, while Bobby had banned him from visiting Bobbi Kristina at the hospital.

Her conservators have sued him for $10 million, accusing him of domestic abuse and stealing money. Nick has assembled a high-profile legal team to help him investigate what happened the day Bobbi Kristina was found.

After the funeral, guests gathered at Pat's home. Perry is also set to host a private dinner for Bobbi Kristina's family, E! News has learned.
