Cornelius Taylor was crushed inside a tent as a bulldozer destroyed makeshift homes.

He was living in the camp a few blocks from Ebenezer Baptist Church , the King family's congregation.

Taylor 's family is planning a Monday funeral at the same historic church, and then a horse-drawn carriage will carry his coffin to City Hall .

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that cities can enforce bans on homeless camping.
