Since morning, mourners from various regions came to offer condolences before the body was taken to the family cemetery within the boarding school grounds. The burial procession was solemn. Around 10:30 AM local time, the body arrived and was accompanied by thousands of students, family members, and locals to the grave, with recitations of tahlil and the declaration of faith echoing continuously. Chairman of the Bahrul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Foundation, Gus Rozaq, expressed deep sorrow and apologized for any of the deceased's shortcomings, praying that Allah SWT would accept his good deeds.
