Mourners are arriving at a church on Chicago's South Side to attend the private funeral service for singer-actress Jennifer Hudson's slain mother, brother and nephew.

The services for 57-year-old Darnell Hudson Donerson, 29-year-old Jason Hudson and 7-year-old Julian King follow a public memorial Sunday.

Police directed traffic Monday morning around the Apostolic Church of God as hearses and limousines arrived. Spectators were kept across the street and away from attendees.
