The funeral was held at St. Ignatius on the Upper East Side, one of the most beautiful churches in Manhattan. No doubt the Cuomos avoided any controversy by holding it there -as it is a Jesuit church, it is not beholden to the archdiocese. Cardinal Dolan therefore had no say in the matter (though he did attend Cuomo's wake on Saturday). St. Cuomo supposedly attended St. Thomas Moore, a few blocks away, but St. Ignatius is much larger and has something of a reputation for burying the rich and famous. Other noteworthy funerals include Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lena Horne, who were both parishioners, and more recently Philip Seymour Hoffman and Oscar de la Renta, who weren't. The Jesuits do things their own way, of course.
