The news of the artist's passing was spread through her official social media accounts, where her loved ones also expressed their gratitude to the countless admirers of the composer. However, access to Paquita la del Barrio's farewell was limited due to the privacy requested by the family.
Despite attempts to keep the singer's wake in a private and reserved setting, the media managed to obtain images from the funeral that took place in Veracruz, before the artist's body was cremated. The television program Sale el Sol revealed a photograph of the singer's coffin before the cremation, sparking some controversies over the leak of that image.
