Some relatives of the dead shed tears as local officials expressed solidarity with them.
U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko told the families, in his words, "We are crushed with you, we are crushed for you."
The 19-seater limo ran a stop sign and hit a parked SUV Saturday in Schoharie.
Two pedestrians and all 18 people in the limo died.
The passengers were headed to a 30th birthday party.
