The march began in front of the Movement's Center in Badaro, Beirut, passing by the National Museum, and then Martyrs' Square, with his coffin carried on shoulders all the way to the Greek-Catholic Cathedral of Saint Elias in Downtown Beirut, where prayers were raised for the repose of his soul. Condolences were then received by his family in the Cathedral Hall.
