US:Funeral arrangements for Australian-born actor Heath Ledger have been completed and his relatives are expected to arrive in New York tomorrow, according to a funeral home spokesman in the US.

George Amado, general manager of the Frank E Campbell funeral home, refused to disclose any more details, saying that any additional information would have to come from Ledger's manager. "The family doesn't want us to give out any information," he said last night.

The body of the 28-year-old actor was taken to the funeral home on Manhattan's Upper East Side yesterday, a day after he was found dead in his Soho loft with bottles of prescription drugs nearby
