Aretha Franklin's farewell and funeral

Aretha Franklin, whose gospel-rooted singing and bluesy yet expansive delivery earned her the title "the Queen of Soul," will be remembered at her funeral beginning at 10 a.m. ET at Detroit's Greater Grace Temple. It's scheduled to last five hours -- but could go longer.

Franklin died Aug. 16 at her home in Detroit, Michigan, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 76.

The service will conclude a week of events in Franklin's beloved city of Detroit, which has included her body lying in repose at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History so fans could pay their respects.

Franklin will be entombed at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit.
