Her invitation-only funeral is taking place at Greater Grace Temple, one of the largest and most famous churches in the city. The church also hosted Rosa Parks' funeral in 2005, at which Franklin sang.

The hearse carrying Franklin's casket arrived at the temple shortly before 8 a.m. Friday.

Franklin's homegoing celebration in Detroit, where she was raised, began Monday with a concert at her hometown church, followed by two days of public visitation at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, and then another visitation Thursday at New Bethel Church. Thursday night, a concert in her honor was held in downtown Detroit.

The funeral for the Queen of Soul got underway around 11 a.m. and is expected to last at least five hours. She'll then be laid to rest at Woodlawn Cemetery.

The service will reflect Franklin's strong gospel roots. Among the gospel voices expected to fill Greater Grace include Marvin Sapp, the Clark Sisters and Vanessa Bell Armstrong.

WHO'S SPEAKING

Speakers include Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, city council president Brenda Jones, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, former president Bill Clinton, Al Sharpton, Tyler Perry, Clive Davis, Smokey Robinson, Isaiah Thomas, and more.

WHO'S PERFORMING

The funeral will start with music from the Aretha Franklin Orchestra, but also includes performances by Faith Hill, Ariana Grande, the Clark Sisters, Chaka Khan, Ron Isley, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, and Stevie Wonder.

FREEWAY OF LOVE

Greater Grace Temple called on people with pink Cadillacs to line up before the funeral in an effort to create a "Freeway of Love" in tribute to Franklin. That's a nod to her funky `80s tune of the same name that prominently featured the car in the lyrics and video.

Those who lined the route get a special perk: The driver of the Caddy and one extra person will be admitted to the funeral.

I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER

After the funeral, Franklin will be entombed at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit, along with her father, Rev. C.L. Franklin; brother Cecil Franklin; sisters Carolyn Franklin and Erma Franklin; and nephew, Thomas Garrett. Woodlawn also is the final resting place for Parks and many of the Motor City's musical elite, including members of the Four Tops.
