Anna Nicole Smith was buried Friday after a 90-minute church ceremony during which the three people who had battled over her remains since her Feb. 8 death spoke movingly and, in the case of her companion Howard K. Stern, angrily.

Singling out Smith's "so-called family members" but without naming names, Stern vowed in a startling tone to continue to protect and fight for Smith in death. When he stepped away from the podium inside the Mount Horeb Baptist Church, his supporters stood and clapped.
