Despite the a judge's ruling, the legal battle over where to bury Anna Nicole Smith may not be over.
Smith's mother says she will appeal yesterday's order by a Florida judge that left the decision to the court-appointed attorney for Smith's infant daughter.
The lawyer says Smith will be buried in the Bahamas, where her son was laid to rest after he died last September. No timetable has been announced although the medical examiner says Smith's body is quickly decomposing.
Witnesses at the six-day hearing testified that Smith was devoted to her son and wanted to be buried with him. But Smith's mother wants her buried in her native Texas.
The former Playboy centerfold and reality TV star died February Eighth at the age of 39. The cause of death has not been determined.
