Anikó Kálnási, manager and good friend of Kátya Tompos, previously told the newspaper that at the request of family members, the funeral was not open to the public, only close family, friends and colleagues attended.
Afterwards, we will make public where we buried Kátya, so that the fans can pay their respects, but we want to experience this farewell intimately, especially because Kátya himself was a reserved person who avoided making a fuss. We organized the vigil last year so that everyone who loved him could say goodbye to him in a dignified way
