The burial took place following commemoration ceremonies held across both Iran and Iraq, marking the conclusion of the period of mourning. According to reports from Press TV, the final burial ceremony was conducted within the prayer hall of the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad.
During the rites, the body was processed around the grave site as part of the established funeral procedures. The official funeral prayer for the Ayatollah was held in the shrine’s courtyard. This public ceremony followed a more private service for the immediate family of the deceased.
