The mass held at the Christ The King Church in Green Meadows where Francis’s widow Pia Arroyo Magalona and their eight children—Unna, Nicolo, Francis Jr., Isabella, Elmo, Arkin, Clara,actress Maxene Magalona and other family members , close friends and co-workers from his noontime show paid their final tribute.
The remains of the singer-actor were cremated at the Funeraria Paz.
Francis’s ashes had been placed in a metal urn, which was in turn placed inside a glass chamber. After being blessed with holy water, the urn was taken out as Pia and the children bid their final farewell. As his children Francis Jr. and Elmo raised the urn, people, mostly fans of the King of Pinoy Rap, honored Francis with a standing ovation for the rich musical legacy he left behind. Francis’s songs were played as the burial rites were conducted. Finally, his ashes were laid beside the graves of his parents, screen icons Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran.
