Papa James Brown got a brand new resting place, finally, 76 days after his death. The "Godfather of Soul" was laid to rest yesterday in a crypt at the home of one his daughters in South Carolina, reports the New York Daily News, with just his family in attendance.

A dispute over Brown's estate had delayed the burial after his death on Christmas Day, and a DNA sample had to be taken last month for a possible paternity battle. Still, despite the rancor, Rev. Al Sharpton, who attended the ceremony, says that everyone was "united" by the occasion.

What's more, the legendary singer's children say that they're trying to make his home into a Graceland-style museum/shrine, and that his body may yet be moved to a mausoleum in such a building.
