There was one very touching moment from the incident, and that was when the loved ones were remembered with the classic tune New York, New York, which is played over the speakers.

The church where the services are held reached a capacity as mourners were seen gathering outside to watch the nearly two-hour-long service on outdoor screens, as per the AP.
