A question: Friend of a friend, apartment in Chelsea,

has died. My friend is traveling to NYC to work on arrangements, and my friend may be the only one sufficiently aware actually to make arrangements. Sister of deceased is not very capable, I understand.

Anyone know of funeral homes in the area? And the process in NYC?

Thanks
