One of Greece’s most celebrated singers Marinella was buried on Tuesday following a funeral service held at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens.
Marinella passed away on Saturday, March 28, at age 87, marking the end of a remarkable career that spanned several decades.
The service was attended by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Culture Minister Lina Mendoni, Athens Mayor Haris Doukas and Deputy Parliament Speaker Olga Gerovassili.
Eulogies were delivered by singers Giorgos Dalaras and Haris Alexiou.
Marinella’s family had organised for a public viewing to be conducted before the service for fans to pay their respects to Marinella. They filed past the coffin at the adjacent chapel of Church of Saint Eleftherios.
The family requested that instead of wreaths, donations be made to ‘Floga’, the Parents’ Association of Children with Cancer.
Marinella’s daughter and close family members attended the private burial ceremony.
