The unique Tolis Voskopoulos left his last breath just a while ago, leaving Angela Grekou crushed behind him and the whole world. Beloved relatives and friends said their last goodbyes to the track lord last Wednesday, but at the same time some opened a discussion about the “bill.” Angela Gerekou clarified what applies and what does not apply to the funeral expenses.

In particular, the answer came through a post on social media. The text states that the municipality of Athens granted a burial ground to Tol Voskopoulos in honor of his artistic contribution and that the family covered all the funeral expenses.

The announcement reads in more detail: “ Tolis Voskopoulos’s wife and daughter would like to thank you for your immense love, support and presence on the last trip of our beloved Tolis. Thank you all for being there! We also thank the Municipality of Athens for the honor. He granted us the burial site in Cemetery A for three years in recognition of his artistic contribution, and as some misunderstandings arose we wanted to clarify here to all the media and social media that the family chose to cover all the funeral expenses themselves. Apart from the offer of the Municipality of Athens, there is no other public expenditure. We thank you all for your wishes and support.
