Bobbi Kristina's aunt Pat Houston and grandmother Cissy Houston were at Bobbi Kristina's burial service, as were Whitney Houston's cousin and confidante Dionne Warwick, who was with her son and granddaughter.

Friend of the family Tyler Perry did not attend, according to one source, though he was at the funeral and the reception at the Houston home in Atlanta's posh Buckhead neighborhood.

Other mourners were driven into the cemetery in the rear of tinted SUVs and a limousine. The funeral procession wound its way up the hill in the cemetery to the burial plot where Whitney Houston was laid to rest in February 2012 next to her father, John, who passed away in February 2003.

Fans of the late singer stood at barricades outside the cemetery holding up photographs, including one of the superstar smiling next to her only child.

During the burial service, the funeral director asked those in attendance to keep Cissy Houston in their prayers, after she was forced to bury both her daughter Whitney and granddaughter Bobbi Kristina in the space of just three years.

After the service and burial, the group gathered at the home of a family member. 

The entire event also had an very strict guest list.

Natalie and Stevie Hipp, who claim to be cousins of Bobbi Kristina Brown, told DailyMail.com they were turned away from the funeral because they were not on the list.

The couple, from Brooklyn, New York, spoke outside the cemetery around an hour and a half after the 22-year-old was laid to rest.

Mr Hipp said: 'I've never in my life heard of anything like this.

'She wanted to go inside and pay respects to her cousin.

'Do I think it's sick because number one shes my wife. She just found out she has a cousin in 2012 and they started reaching out, talking and developing a bond with each other.

'She couldn't make the funeral in Georgia, so a good friend of mine took the day off work to drive us out here.'

He added: 'I've never in my life heard of being on a list for someone to go and mourn.'

Natalie Hipp said: 'All I can do is come back and see my cousin and pay my respects.'

Kicked out: Natalie and Stevie Hipp (above), who claim to be cousins of Bobbi Kristina Brown, told DailyMail.com they were turned away from the funeral because they were not on the list.

Bobbi Kristina's funeral was held Saturday in Alpharetta, Georgia and became a flash point of strife between the family of her father, singer Bobby Brown, and the Houstons on her mother's side when Brown's aunt Leolah was ejected from her niece's service after an outburst aimed at Pat Houston, who is married to Whitney's brother Gary.

Bobby Brown, who has not been close to Whitney's mom Cissy over the years, nonetheless consoled his former mother-in-law during Saturday's funeral and she was very receptive, an invited guest told DailyMail.com.

They put their past aside to say good-bye to Krissy together. Cissy cried on Bobby's shoulder while he had his arm around her.

Meanwhile, feelings between Bobby Brown and Pat Houston may be less positive after Houston asked mourners to send money to her charity in lieu of sending flowers to Bobbi Kristina's funeral - without asking Brown. 

Bobby was overheard telling some of his family that now that Krissy is gone, there is no need to keep fighting with the Houstons as all ties have died with his daughter.

However, an insider said his sister Leolah, who shouted at Pat Houston during the funeral service, is determined to keep the feud going because she dreams of having her own reality show.

Though Brown was unhappy with his sister's decision to shout down Houston, he has told friends that Leolah can be impossible to handle.

The strife also extended to Leolah's daughter Aja Scott who told Page Six she was barred from the events by Pat Houston herself.

'I said I am her cousin on her father's side and since I'm not on the list, she won't let me in,' Scott wondered. 'Why is Pat being so secretive? She should let her friends and her family say farewell.'

Bobbi Kristina died in hospice care on July 26, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome on January 31. Her mother was also found dead in a bath, three years ago.
