Heath Ledger funeral?

Is there a way I could find out when the funeral would take place? I would like to send flowers before the date of the funeral but I heard the family is going to make it a private affair. Do you think the funeral director would be able to give me a time frame so I could send the flowers in time?
Heath Ledger funeral?
The family has asked that funeral arrangements remain private and the funeral home is under strict orders not to give out any information about it.



Currently, it looks like it's going to be at the Campbell Funeral Home on 81st street in Madison Avenue, which has been host to several celebrity funerals including Jackie O's. His family flies in tomorrow, so if you'd like maybe you can send flowers to the funeral home for tomorrow--either way if it's there tomorrow the funeral home can pass it along to the family.
Reply:It's a sweet thought, but per the family's wishes, the funeral and arrangements are private. The family and his loved ones deserve this last privelage as the family of Heath Ledger. As others have already said, donate some money to a drug awareness group or a program for the arts.
Reply:I agree with Brymom2...best to not spend the money on flowers and instead donate to a charity that Heath Ledger supported.



If you ask me, they need to keep the location of the funeral private...so that the nutjobbers like those fundie protestors don't show up and ruin things.
Reply:Why on earth would you want to waste your money? The man was an ACTOR, that's all. He wasn't your personal friend and his family isn't going to care. If you must pay some sort of tribute, make a donation to a group, like DARE, that works to keep kids off drugs.
Reply:I was thinking the same thing but i agree i may just donate some money to support one of his charities. And there is nothing wrong with wanting to send flowers or make a donation. Even though he was an actor, he still was a person. And some of us feel conected to him because of his movies. I know I do. For some reason it just hit me really hard and i wish there was something i could do. But making a donation is a good idea. I am going to look or organizations he supported.
Reply:Funeral Arrangements for Ledger Complete

NEW YORK (AP) -- Funeral arrangements for Heath Ledger have been completed and his relatives were expected to arrive in New York on Friday, a funeral home spokesman said.





George Amado, the general manager of the Frank E. Campbell funeral home, refused to disclose further details, saying any additional information would have to come from Ledger's manager.



"The family doesn't want us to give out any information," he said Thursday.



The 28-year-old actor's body was taken to the funeral home on Manhattan's Upper East Side on Wednesday, a day after he was found dead in his SoHo loft with bottles of prescription drugs nearby.



An autopsy Wednesday was inconclusive and further test results weren't expected for several days, medical examiner's office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said. Police have said the Australian-born actor's death may have been caused by a drug overdose and appeared to be accidental.
Reply:Make a donation in his name to a charity he supported. That would be nice.
