Edward Cardinal Egan will be spending eternity in good company.
The former archbishop of New York City will be entombed in the crypt at St. Patrick’s Cathedral with four of his predecessors and Msgr. Michael Lavelle, who served as Rector of St. Patrick’s Cathedral for 52 years.
Also resting there in the space beneath the high altar is Pierre Toussaint, a Haitian-born slave who became a New York philanthropist — and who is the only non-clergyman in the group.
The Archdiocese of New York released the funeral plans on Friday — a day after Egan, who led his flock from 2000 to 2009, died of cardiac arrest. He was 82.
