After a 48 hour vigil El Barbarino, the famous sicario and compadre of Chapo was buried at an undisclosed place south of Culiacán

Francisco Aceves was quietly buried yesterday in one of the cemeteries in the town of Culiacán, Sinaloa

At the stroke of noon, the body was transferred  from the funeral home where a vigil was held for 48 hours, without revealing where the burial would be held; in fact, this data was not disclosed on the public announcement board at the funeral home. 

The exit

The man, who was gunned down while leaving a restaurant on Monday, traveled his last journey through the streets of the city of Culiacan. 

Initially, the funeral procession left the funeral home located at the Emiliano Zapata Boulevard and headed towards the south part of the city by  avenida Álvaro Obregón. 

It was believed that because he was  a religious devotee of la Guadalupana [Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe], surely his family would have wanted  a mass at the Temple of the Virgin of Tepeyac, however, the procession did not go to the temple of La Lomita. 

In the end,  it was decided that  Francisco Aceves would continue the journey to the south of the city.   Later, it was only mentioned that  the man known as El Barbarino, would have been taken to a ranch, where  he would be buried, however, the exact location was not made public. 


The funeral and the crowns

Francisco Aceves, "El Barbarino", was given a sendoff lasting a little more than 48 hours. The ceremony was performed peacefully; visitors remained silent in full respect to the family.

Highlighted on display were two massive arrangements with fresh roses. 

                                                                             "Nephews"

One of these had a ribbon with the greeting: "From your nephews Ivan and Alfredo G", (Sons of Chapo) while the other, a little larger, also bore a ribbon with the salutation: 

"From your friend and compadre JGL".  (Joaquín Guzmán Loera)

Both arrangements were placed at the entrance of the ‘Ardiente Chapel”.  In consulting with vendors of such arrangements, whose establishments are found in the area, it was discovered the arrangements similar to these, have a price tag of 25 thousand to 30 thousand pesos each ($1,700-$2,000 USD).
