The casket was opened for viewing and thousands viewed it. No photographs were allowed but one was taken. The plates were destroyed but one print was made and lost until 1952 when it resurfaced.

Will they show Whitney Houston in a open casket?

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.
