(TMZ) Whitney Houston's family had "their heart broken all over again" this week when they saw a photo of Whitney laying in her casket published on the cover of a magazine ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the family tell TMZ the family is disgusted the photo was printed and they have no idea how security surrounding the casket was breached. We're told the family could tell from the photo that it was taken from inside the funeral home, but they have no idea who would have snapped the pic.
Our sources say Whitney's mother, Cissy, has taken the publication of the photo the hardest. Despite their disgust and outrage, we're told the family will not investigate the matter further.
The funeral home where Whitney Houston's body was kept last week is denying that it played any role in leaking a photo of the pop legend inside her casket.
Carolyn Whigham, owner of the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, NJ, tells the Daily News she is devastated that the photo is out there and says her staff had nothing to do with it.
She tells the paper, "We did not take that photo. We did not sell the photo. We would never do something like that."
Whigham says she has received numerous threats since the publication of the photo, but that Whitney's family has told her they do not blame the funeral home.
FYI -- eight days ago, someone shopped that pic to TMZ ... we passed.
