The funeral of the late Egyptian artist Ahlam Al-Jeritali was held today, Monday, at the family cemetery. The funeral was attended only by family and friends, as art stars were absent from the burial and prayers for her.
The late artist's funeral saw her husband, Dr. Sherin Hassan, in deep sorrow, weeping during the burial ceremony from Al-Qubbah Al-Fidawiyyah Mosque in Abbassiya, while relatives and some friends sought to comfort him. Ahlam's sisters struggled to maintain their composure, and one of them broke down in tears as the body was laid in the grave. Those present tried to support and console her following the shock of losing her sister, Ahlam, who showed no signs of illness prior to her sudden heart attack shortly after returning home.
