JAKARTA - The youngest children of Ray Sahetapy and Dewi Yull, Raya Sahetapy, explained that the father's body was planned to be buried on Friday, April 4 after Friday prayers. Before being buried, the body will be prayed first at the Istiqlal Mosque, Central Jakarta.
"The plan is that on Friday he will be buried after Friday prayers, he will pray at the Istiqlal Mosque first, because on Friday he is still waiting for his brother from America who is still (traveling) home," said Raya Sahetapy at Sentosa Funeral Home, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, April 2.
After the funeral procession, the funeral will be held at the Tanah Kusir TPU, South Jakarta.
"After Friday prayers will be buried in the Tanah Kusir area," he continued.
However, Raya said, actually Ray Sahetapy had a desire to be buried in Sulawesi, precisely at their family's grave in Palu.
"Actually, the request from the father wanted to be buried in, there was a family cemetery in Palu, in Sibowi to be precise," said Raya Sahetapy.
The family is considering moving their graves to Palu in the next few years so that they continue to follow the funeral process according to Islamic teachings.
"Indeed, there is a tomb of the Sahetapy family, but for us to follow the funeral process Islamically, we must think about it, maybe in 1-2 years it will be moved to a grave in Palu," he concluded.
