Whitey Bulger Gets Quick Funeral Mass in South Boston

November 8, 2018

A private funeral Mass was celebrated for James “Whitey” Bulger at St. Monica’s Church in South Boston on Thursday.

NBC News Boston published images of Whitey’s younger brother, William M. Bulger, 84, outside the church. The younger Bulger is a former president of the Massachusetts Senate and a former president of the University of Massachusetts.

Whitey Bulger, 89, was bludgeoned to death last week at a federal prison in West Virginia, where he was serving life for multiple murders from when he was a feared organized crime figure.
