Ray Sahetapy Will Be Buried in Tanah Kusir, Family Still Considering His Last Wish

The passing of Ray Sahetapy on Tuesday (1/4/2025) night at the Gatot Soebroto Army Central Hospital (RSPAD) leaves a deep sorrow for his family and relatives. Although Rey expressed his desire to be buried in his hometown, the family is still considering that request.

"The children are the ones who requested to have him buried here. Yes, it’s true he requested it. So, that’s been a long time. Because we have the Sahetapy Nelwan family. Nelwan is from Manado. Sahetapy is from Ambon. We have a special grave site there. From my grandparents, then my parents are there. He also requested to be buried there," said Charly Sahetapy when met at the Sentosa funeral home (Gatot Subroto) Block C, Wednesday (2/4/2025).

Rey was known as someone who was close to his family. His wish to be buried in Central Sulawesi has been expressed for a long time. However, his children decided to bury Rey in Jakarta to make it easier to care for his grave.
