Till Death Do Us Part — Security at High-Profile Funerals

William Villanova knows this all too well, as he has been managing events of this nature for over three decades. He is the President of Frank E. Campbell – The Funeral Chapel in New York City, which has a rich history and is arguably the most well-known funeral home in Manhattan, if not the Nation. He is well known for implementing and promoting the highest standards in funeral service, of which security and privacy are paramount to a successful event. 

Key topics of Villanova’s discussion with host Fred Burton include:

• The preparation and contingency planning that goes into a celebrity funeral in the days/weeks leading up to the event.
• The variety of teams involved to orchastrate a high profile funeral – from NYPD to multiple private security teams to Secret Service.
• The extent of contingency planning, represented by the collaboration between medical teams and local hospitals on standby.
