== The Funeral == Even before he was transferred to the 'Shomrei Hadas' funeral home in Borough Park, groups of students from the Central Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva at 770 came to the hospital to recite Tehillim until the time of the funeral. At 8:00 AM, an alarm pierced the air of Crown Heights (the first time since the night after Shabbat, 3 Tammuz 5754). Neighborhood residents, awakening to hear the news, began streaming toward 770. The mikvahs throughout the neighborhood immediately filled with crowds of Chassidim preparing for the funeral procession. Throughout Crown Heights and other Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn, notices of mourning were posted by the Crown Heights Community Council announcing the time of the funeral. New York media outlets also continuously reported in their news broadcasts about the passing of 'the Chief Rabbi of Chabad Center in New York.' At 10:00 AM, as the funeral procession was about to leave the funeral home in Borough Park, the alarm sounded again throughout Crown Heights, and all stores in the neighborhood, including non-Jewish owned ones, ceased operations. Thousands of men, women, and children gathered on Eastern Parkway, opposite 770. Adjacent streets were closed to vehicle traffic. Many journalists and media personnel gathered in a special area with mobile broadcasting units to cover the funeral procession. Around 10:40 AM, the Chevra Kadisha vehicle arrived, accompanied by three police cars and several police motorcycles, in front of 770. As soon as the Chevra Kadisha vehicle stopped, a long line of people began to walk past the coffin to ask for forgiveness. After thousands had passed by the coffin, the Chevra Kadisha vehicle began moving slowly along Eastern Parkway, with thousands walking in pain and silence behind the coffin. Leading the funeral procession were the Crown Heights Beit Din members, the Gaonic Rabbis Avraham Azdaba and Yosef Avraham Heller, and all the heads of Chabad institutions. Afterward, a procession of dozens of cars began moving slowly toward the Chabad Chassidim cemetery in New York, arriving after a long hour. Before the burial, Rabbi Shneur Zalman Gurary stood by the open grave and with emotional words addressed the deceased Rabbi, commanding him to go before the Rebbe and demand, through the power of the holy Torah, that God must bring the true and complete redemption with the revelation of the Rebbe King Moshiach immediately. The Beit Din secretary, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Shapiro, requested on behalf of the entire community to arouse heavenly mercy for the neighborhood residents and bring the complete redemption. Afterward, the entire congregation said "Yechi Adoneinu" three times. Rabbi Yehuda Kalman Marlow was buried in the Kohanim row in the Chabad section, near the holy Ohel.
