No, it was a closed casket. Before the funeral, the coffin was under heavy guard at the funeral home, to prevent unauthorized photographs. And during the ceremony, the casket remained closed. But despite the efforts of her family to have privacy, tabloid photos surfaced, claiming to show her in an open coffin at the funeral parlor; but there is no way to verify if these photos were really her or if they were photo-shopped.

No, the casket was closed during the entire service and when it was carried out to the hearse, on the way to the cemetery. And before the funeral, the casket was under heavy guard at the funeral home, undoubtedly to prevent photographers from getting unauthorized pictures. That said, there are now tabloid photos which claim to show her in the coffin at the funeral parlor, but there is no way to verify whether these photos really show Whitney Houston, or whether they were photo-shopped.

Her family did not want an open casket, and it was their decision. There are many reasons why the families of celebrities decide not to have an open casket: the person was injured before they died, the person would be mobbed by fans, the person's religion doesn't permit an open casket. In this case, there is currently no evidence that Whitney Houston had an injury, so more likely, her family wanted the funeral (which was held at the church she attended as a child, where she first started singing in the choir) to be a spiritual event, rather than focusing on how she looked or what she was wearing.

That was her family's decision. They wanted her to be remembered in a positive way, and they did not want too much focus on how she looked, what she wore, or any other issues that might detract from the dignity of the funeral service.
