Irsa recited the call to prayer beside his mother's body before it was lowered into the grave. After that, he continued with the iqomah as a form of final respect.

A blank stare was evident on Peco's face as he stood by the grave after the funeral was over. Expressions of loss were also visible on Gani and Irsa, who tried to remain strong beside their father.

After the body was covered with soil, family and relatives participated in sprinkling flowers and pouring water on Irianti's grave. Prayers were offered as a final farewell to the singer.

Irianti Erningpraja took her last breath at RSUD Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta, on Tuesday (27/5/2025). The singer, known since the 80s, passed away after battling cervical cancer.

Peco Seno, the husband of Irianti, stated that his wife had been suffering for quite some time. He mentioned that since last year, Irianti had been regularly in and out of the hospital.

"If the illness has been long, we have known for a year. Then she has been going in and out of the hospital intensively since last October, there were some minor issues, moving from one hospital to another, so, yeah, this is how it is," said Peco when met at the funeral home in Pejaten, South Jakarta, Tuesday (27/5/2025).

According to Peco, a day before her passing, his wife had asked to go home from the hospital. However, the next morning, Irianti's condition suddenly deteriorated drastically. "Actually, she had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon asking to go home, but in the morning she was no longer strong, we immediately took her to the emergency room. Well, earlier this afternoon at 14:14," he continued.

The illness that Irianti suffered from was not a mild one. Peco revealed that his wife had cancer."The illness is cancer," he said briefly.

The early symptoms of the disease have been felt since mid-2024. However, intensive medical treatment only began a few months later."If we consider the first symptoms, or the symptoms detected in mid-2024, that means it has been over a year, about 1.5 years. Let's say 1 year," he explained.

Since September 2024, Irianti has undergone a series of medical procedures including a biopsy. According to Peco, his wife's treatment lasted for eight months."Medical treatment started in September, biopsy and so on, so how long has it been until now, it's about 8 months in total," he said.
