Several figures from the music scene of the homeland were present at the funeral. Guitarist of the band GIGI, Dewa Budjana, and the owner of Musica Studios, Indrawati Widjaja, were seen paying their last respects.

The husband of Irianti Erningpraja, Peco Seno, was seen accompanying their two sons, Gani and Irsa, during the funeral procession. The three of them even went down to the grave to help lower the body into the tomb.

Irsa recited the call to prayer (azan) beside his mother's body before it was lowered into the grave. After that, he also continued with the iqomah as a final tribute.

A vacant stare was evident on Peco's face as he stood by the grave after the funeral was over. The expression of loss was also visible on Gani and Irsa, who tried to remain strong while supporting their father.

After the body was covered with soil, family and relatives participated in scattering flowers and pouring water over 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, Irianti's husband, stated that his wife had been suffering from illness 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 in and out of the hospital intensively since October last year, there were some complications, moving from one hospital to another, so, yes, 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 requested to go home from the hospital. However, the next morning, Irianti's condition suddenly deteriorated drastically. “Actually, just yesterday afternoon she had been discharged from the hospital asking to go home, but in the morning she was no longer strong, we immediately took her to the ER. 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 initial symptoms of the disease began to be felt since mid-2024. However, intensive medical treatment only started 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 until now it has been about 8 months in total," he said.
