"For all this we are deeply grateful," said Rigali, who also spoke several prayers and a part of the homily in Spanish
Nazario, 40, had been an 18-year veteran of the department's narcotics strike force.
After a morning-long viewing in the cathedral's sanctuary that drew thousands of mourners past her open casket, the white coffin was closed shortly past noon and covered with a cream-and-gold drape that matched the priests' and bishops' vestments.
Among those attending was her patrol partner, Officer Terry Tull, who left the hospital where he is recuperating from severe injuries.
Tull, who suffered broken ribs, a punctured lung and a bruised hip in last Friday's fatal vehicle pursuit, was brought to the cathedral by ambulance. He entered in a wheelchair through a side door and was comforted by friends and family members.
City officials, including Mayor Nutter and District Attorney Lynn Abraham and Police Chief Charles Ramsey sat on the left of the cathedral, which seats about 1,500.
The Nazario family, including her mother, sister and 15-year-old daughter, Jazmin, sat to the right, as did her fiance, Philadelphia police officer Carlos Buitrago.
Nazario will be buried in her native Puerto Rico.
Members of her family did the two scripture readings. Her mother, Patricia Rodriguez Santiago, her sister, Maritza Mohamad, along with her daughter and an unidentified family member presented the wine, water and bread for the eucharist.
They all held hands as Rigali and the bishops spoke the words of consecration.
