Gambino crime family boss Francesco 'Franky Boy' Cali's funeral in Staten Island on Tuesday was a quiet, dignified affair with just a hint of the violence many of the mourners are known for.
Cali, 53, was laid to rest in a private service at the Moravian Cemetery after being transported from a nearby funeral home.
The mourners were a who's who of current figures of interest to authorities which photographed some of them as they carried Cali's casket out of the funeral home before taking him to the cemetery.
Once the service was over, his casket was placed in a crypt in the Hillview Mausoleum, an extravagant two-tier building where the thousands of spots are highly coveted.
