[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] The funeral ceremony and farewell service for Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung, who passed away on the 25th, will be held on the morning of the 28th.

Samsung plans to hold the funeral ceremony at Samsung Seoul Hospital's funeral hall around 7:30 a.m., attended by family members including Hong Ra-hee, former director of the Leeum Museum of Art, Lee Jae-yong, Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics, Lee Boo-jin, President of Hotel Shilla, and Lee Seo-hyun, Chairwoman of the Samsung Welfare Foundation.

Since Chairman Lee's funeral is being conducted as a family funeral, Samsung will hold the ceremony simply and privately.

Afterwards, the farewell procession will begin shortly after 8 a.m. The procession is expected to pass through places that reflect Chairman Lee's life, allowing employees and executives to bid their final farewell.

Locations mentioned include Samsung Electronics' Suwon plant (headquarters), and the Hwaseong and Giheung semiconductor factories, which Chairman Lee personally invested in.

The burial site is known to be either the family graveyard in Yongin near Everland, where his late father, former Chairman Lee Byung-chul, and mother Park Du-eul are buried, or the family graveyard in Suwon where his ancestors are laid to rest.
