The funeral for former archbishop of New York Cardinal Edward Egan, who died Thursday at 82, has been set for Tuesday, the Archdiocese of New York said on Friday.
Funeral arrangements will begin Monday, starting with a two-hour private family visitation at 10 a.m. at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Beginning at noon, the cathedral will be open until 6 p.m. for public visitation and then a vigil mass.
A funeral Mass led by Cardinal Timothy Dolan will be held Tuesday afternoon and begin with a procession at 1:30 p.m. The entombment will immediately follow the Mass. Public visitation hours on Tuesday will run from 7 to 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, the Archdiocese of New York is asking that memorial donations be made to the Inner-City College Fund and to the restoration of St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
