Iran has announced the funeral and burial schedule for late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with ceremonies set to begin in Tehran on July 4 and conclude with burial in Mashhad on July 9.
According to Iranian state media, farewell ceremonies will be held at Imam Khomeini Mosalla in Tehran on July 4 and 5. A funeral prayer and procession are scheduled to take place in Tehran on July 6.
A separate funeral procession will be held in the holy city of Qom on July 7, followed by final ceremonies in Mashhad on July 9. Khamenei will be buried at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, one of Iran’s most important religious sites.
Iranian reports said organisers have invited Muslims and supporters from around the world to attend the ceremonies.
Khamenei died in February 2026 following US-Israeli strikes on Iran, ending more than three decades of leadership over the Islamic Republic.
The announcement comes after earlier reports that funeral arrangements had been delayed and that ceremonies would be held in Tehran, Qom and Mashhad.
