The statement by the FDNY Spokesperson leads one to believe that they (the FDNY) covered the full cost. What I would like to know form the FDNY Spokesperson is, how much did the FDNY pay. While I can't confirm this information it is my understanding that the funeral cost was $15,000 and that Chappy's Funeral Home covered $13,000 of that. This also didn't come about because of anyone at FDNY Headquarters. I'm not going to mention the name of the person who helped make this happen, but I will send out a big thank you to him for always being there to help.
