Anna Nicole Smith Burns ex-Family

Sunday night's installment of E!'s "Anna Nicole Show" featured Smith and her lawyer, Howard K. Stern, parading through her newly decorated pink house carrying an urn full of the late J. Howard Marshall's ashes. Anna was here usual ditzy self as she gave Marshall’s ashes a tour of her new abode. Anna’s son-in-law and the rest of the family were only further outraged by the display and a look at the history of the ashes provides an interesting insight as to why.

"This is a painful issue for all of us who knew and loved my father," Marshall's son, E. Pierce Marshall, stated. "Immediately after his death, [Anna Nicole] tried to block our attempts to carry out my father's final wishes that his body be cremated in accordance with his Quaker beliefs. [She] spent so little time with my father that she had no idea he was a Quaker and that he wanted his remains cremated." Although the family eventually convinced a court to cremate Marshall, the battle for his ashes resulted in them being divided between Smith and the Marshall family.

Anna’s half of the ashes actually remained unattended at a funeral home for over five years, until one of her lawyers realized that it would not look good for her trial to not have claimed the ashes of her dead husband. Needless to say, this only sickens the Marshall family even further. E. Pierce elaborated by saying, "Her conduct and the conduct of her attorney is reprehensible. Anyone who had anything to do with the production of this segment of the program should be ashamed of themselves. I think the public will conclude that this plus-sized model and her lipstick-covered attorney don't have an ounce of decency or credibility between them."
