Frank E. Campbell The Funeral Chapel receives $20m renovation upgrade

Manhattan, NY For more than a century, Frank E. Campbell The Funeral Chapel, the “funeral home to the stars,” has been the choice for icons like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, John Lennon, mob boss Frank Costello, artist Jean-Michel Basquiat — and even Logan Roy, the fictitious billionaire media mogul from Succession.

After a $20 million renovation, Frank E. Campbell’s legacy of sophistication and elegance is more prestigious than ever. The newly re-imagined 18,000 s/f space features a rooftop event venue, an adjoining lounge for catered receptions, and a dining room where families can bring in meals for guests — a rare privilege since the 2017 law revision that allowed “incidental refreshments.” Located a block from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Frank E. Campbell has cemented its position as the ultimate setting for New York’s elite to say their final goodbyes.
