The first of two funerals for a pair of Orange County friends found dead inside a car earlier this week was held in Monroe Thursday.
Mourners attended the graveside funeral of 23-year-old Evan Finell at Seamanville Cemetery in Monroe.
The Monroe resident and his friend, 25-year-old Aaron Vays, were found dead inside a car Monday.
Police say Finell and Vays went to a late night car show Saturday in New Jersey and were reported missing by their parents the next day when they never returned home.
After an exhaustive search, the friends were found lifeless inside Vays' high-end sports car in Woodbury.
Police believe Finell lost control of the Dodge Viper and crashed into a steep ditch along Nininger Road.
Visitation services are being held for Vays Thursday and Friday at the Smith-Seaman and Quackenbush Funeral Home in Highland Mills.
He will be buried Friday afternoon at the same cemetery as his friend.
