A beloved grandmother’s body remains on ice at the city morgue as her adopted loved ones battle over who gets to bury her.

Grandson Cecil Singleton says all he wants to do is give 93-year-old Eddie Mae Williams a sweet sendoff at Paradise Baptist Church in Washington Heights, where Williams once served as deacon.

Instead, he’s been fighting in Manhattan Supreme Court with Gail Susan Harris, who called the city Medical Examiner’s office disputing Singleton’s right to claim the body.

Every day the fight drags on, “the chances of having an open casket dwindles,” Singleton said, noting Williams’ body hasn’t been embalmed.

“I’m doing this so I can go to bed at night knowing I honored my grandmother,” he said.

Williams was a friend of Singleton’s biological grandmother, and when the friend died, she stepped in to help care for Singleton’s mom, who was a child. When Singleton was born, Williams played the role of grandmother so convincingly, it was years before Singleton discovered they weren’t blood relatives.

“She raised me,” he told The Post. “She was the only person in my life who truly loved me, unconditionally.”

While growing up gay and facing rejection from other family members, Singleton was taken in by Williams, who helped him through high school and even obtained a personal loan so he could go to college in California.

Singleton, 30, recalls his “Mama” as a “spunky old black lady from the South” who could still get around, and even dance until she was hospitalized in January, struggling with infections to which she finally succumbed on May 21.

“She’d tell you, ‘I’m 93-years-old and I can whup your ass,’” he said, laughing.

Harris, who did not return a call seeking comment, was also “adopted” by Williams.

The Medical Examiner’s Office said it’s waiting for the court’s decision.
