The remains of Diego Maradona arrived just after 7:00 p.m. at the
Jardin de Bella Vista Cemetery,
40 kilometers from the City of Buenos Aires, where he was buried with his parents.
The ceremony in the cemetery
was brief and intimate
: it was led by about 30 people, most of them relatives of the former soccer player.
Among them were his three daughters Dalma, Gianina and Jana;
his ex-wife, Claudia Villafañe, and his ex-partner Verónica Ojeda.
One of the most surprising presences was that of Guillermo Coppola, who was one of the people who loaded the drawer with the remains of the Ten.

It was also striking to see in such an intimate ceremony the Buenos Aires Minister of Security, Sergio Berni, who
shares friends with Ojeda.
In addition to Maradona's children and former partners, there were his brothers Raul "Lalo" and Rita "Kitty" Maradona;
and nephews Walter "El Chino" Machuca and Daniel López Maradona.

The funeral procession left Casa Rosada shortly before 6 p.m. and had a huge security display.
In the Jardín cemetery there are also the remains of Diego's parents, Dalma Franco (who died in 2011) and Don Diego (in 2015).
