Over 1,000 mourners, many in traditional attire, attended the Pontifikalrequiem led by Cardinal Reinhard Marx, with music by the Munich Dommusik and soprano Katja Stuber. Aiwanger's partner Tanja Schweiger and family were in the front row, and speakers at the subsequent Trauerstaatsakt included Minister-President Markus Söder and Free Voters' leader Florian Streibl. The burial will take place later in Aiwanger's native Lower Bavaria.",
